The '''Helirin'''　(Japanese: {{ja|ヘリリン}},　''Heririn'') is a machine with long rotor blades that appears in the game ''[[wikipedia:Kuru Kuru Kururin|Kuru Kuru Kururin]]''. It appears as a [[trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and an [[Assist Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

In ''Kuru Kuru Kururin'', Kururin sets out in this specialized, spinning craft to rescue his missing family.

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==

The Helirin appears as a trophy in ''Melee''. Due to translation issues, it was mistakenly named 'Heririn'.

===Trophy description===

''Kururin sets off in his specialized helicopter to rescue his siblings who have lost their way somewhere among ten worlds. The helicopter is fitted with an enormous blade, which propels the machine forward by slowly rotating. The mazes that Kururin must navigate are narrow and filled with all kinds of strange obstacles.''

*''Kuru Kuru Kururin'' (Japan Only)

==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==

In ''Brawl'', the Helirin appears as an Assist Trophy. When summoned, the Helirin will fly to a certain part of the stage. The characters can stand on the Helirin and use it as a moving [[platform]]. It stays out for a rather short length of time, rotating slowly all the while. Presumably, the craft is being controlled by Kururin himself.

===Assist Trophy origin===

[[File:HelirinGBA.png|thumb|150px|The Helirin as it originally appeared in ''Kuru Kuru Kururin''.]]

Helirin first appeared ''Kuru Kuru Kururin''. In ''Kuru Kuru Kururin'', the player controls a thin helicopter that has slow moving propellers. Each level involves maneuvering through a maze without hitting the propellers against a wall. If the propellers hits the wall, it gets damaged. When the propeller hits the wall three times, the game is over. The Helirin also appears in the Gamecube game ''Kururin Squash'' and is the first game where the Helirin is rendered in 3D. In ''Brawl'', the Helirin appears as an Assist Trophy and looks similar to it's design from ''Kururin Squash''. Also, the Helirin doesn't get damaged when it hits a wall or the ground, which is contrary to what happens in the ''Kururin'' games.

===Trophy description===

''A unique helicopter that flies with long, slowly rotating wings. If the wings strike walls or obstacles, the Helirin takes damage and loses hearts. The wings normally spin clockwise, but the rotation can be reversed by touching springs. There are many areas that require this technique. The Helirin can be customized by picking up and using a variety of items.''

*''Kuru Kuru Kururin'' (Japan Only)

*Contrary to both trophy descriptions, ''Kuru Kuru Kururin'' was released in Europe as well as Japan.
