'''Kopters''' are small yellow [[Kremling]]s that are encountered in a few of the later levels in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. According to the game's credits, Kopters belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class. Kopters carry helicopter blades in each hand and can attain flight by spinning them rapidly. If either [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] get too close, they can end up being hit by the blades. Kopters also wear crash helmets meaning jump attacks are useless, but if the [[Kong]]s can land directly on the helmet they will bounce thus attaining greater heights. Kopters are very uncommon enemies in the game since they only appear in the levels [[Buzzer Barrage]], [[Kong-Fused Cliffs]], and [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole Panic]].

A Kopter appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', instead wearing a black pilot cap with a propeller on top, beige pants, and a pair of goggles; its eye pupils are also red.


In ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Kopters cannot be beaten in any way and can only be avoided. However, in ''Donkey Kong Land III'', they can be defeated by simply jumping on their heads; they also manage to defeat themselves by landing on the ground but respawn when the Kongs aren't on the same screen as them. A Kopter (wearing slightly different armor) appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' as an unlockable playable character and is the rival of [[Wrinkly Kong]]. In this game, he has greener skin and is unlocked by winning the [[Topaz Cup]] as a Kremling character.
