{{species infobox
'''Kopters''' are small yellow-ish [[Kremling]]s (resembling another Kremling, [[Bazuka]]) that are encountered in a few of the later levels ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Kopters carry helicopter blades in each hand and can attain flight by spinning them rapidly, if either [[Dixie]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] get to close they could end up be being hit by the blades. Kopters also wear crash helmets meaning jump attacks are useless, but if the Kongs can land directly on the helmet they will bounce thus attaining greater heights. Kopters were very uncommon enemies in the game since they only appeared in the levels [[Buzzer Barrage]], [[Kong-Fused Cliffs]], and [[Pot Hole Panic]].

'''Kopters''' are small, yellow [[Kremling]] enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They carry a green helicopter blade in each hand and wear a green crash helmet. 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.[[Image: KopterJet.jpg|thumb|left|Kopter in ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''.]][[Image: KopterPA.PNG|thumb|right|A '''Kopter''', as seen in [[Dixie Kong]]'s Photo Album.]]
==History==
A Kopter (wearing slightly different armor) appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' as a rival of [[Wrinkly Kong]]. In this game, he looks more like a Kremling, having greener skin and a tail.

[[File:Buzzer Barrage Quawks and Kopter.png|thumb|left|A Kopter in the ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble!'' level, Buzzer Barrage]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Kopters appear only in three [[level]]s of [[Razor Ridge]]: [[Buzzer Barrage]], [[Kong-Fused Cliffs]], and [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole Panic]]. With their helicopter blades, Kopters propel themselves into the air. Kopters fly in various directions, usually up and down in a vertical path or circling around a platform, or even back and forth diagonally in a later part of Kong-Fused Cliffs. If a [[Kong]] is hit by Kopter's blades, they take damage, but [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can harmlessly bounce on a Kopter's helmet for a boost in height. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Kopter is categorized as part of the [[Kremling Kreeps]].

Kopters were initially programmed to have a standing sprite, vaguely reminiscent of [[Kutlass]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', and a defeated sprite.

==Trivia==
In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', Kopters appear in six levels: [[Footloose Falls]], [[Rockface Chase]], [[Clifftop Critters]], [[Rickety Rapids]], [[Stalagmite Frights]], and [[Ghoulish Grotto]]. Unlike before, a Kopters can now be defeated from being jumped on; however, Kopters can defeat themselves by landing on the ground, though they respawn when the Kongs are not on the same screen as them.
*According to the game's credits, Kopters belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.
