―Note in Popo Heli's code, Megamix Engine

Popo Heli is an enemy from Mega Man 9. It is a flying robot equipped with a shield and a flamethrower.

Popo Heli was first made available with the Megamix Engine, and subsequently the devkits for all games using the engine. The first of these to use Popo Heli was Make a Good 48 Hour Mega Man Level, where it appeared in the entry Taking a Dip.

Behavior

Popo Heli flies down towards a specific location when spawned (this location being where they are placed in the room editor), and fire a stream of flames once stopping. After a length of time, it flies off the top of the screen while stopping its flamethrower attack. Although Popo Helis are weak, they are shielded in the front and require being hit in the back (or with a shield piercing weapon like the Laser Trident) to be destroyed.
