However, Lakitus are most differentiatable from Koopa Troopas in that they simply ride clouds. These clouds have changed over the years perhaps even more than Lakitus themselves; although 8-bit [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] games depicted Lakitu as riding a cloud identical to certain [[block]]-like cloud platforms (except with a green outline rather than black due to graphical limitations), ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (which still included these small platforms of old) gave Lakitus more realistic, larger clouds to commandeer.

===Characteristics===
Lakitu is a Koopa who floats in a cloud. That cloud is really the only thing that sets him apart from a normal Koopa Troopa. He is a little bit chubbier than a regular Koopa, but he is still a yellow shade. He lacks shoes like the other Koopas, but it's OK because most of the time he is in a cloud, so you can't see his feet. He has three black strands of hair on his head. When he is a referee in Mario Kart, his shell is green, but when he is a driver, he has a red shell. It's all about moderation, you know.

In other Mario games, Lakitu just has regular goggles, but in Mario Kart, a headset is attached to his goggles. That way, he can talk to other Koopas if he gets bored of the race. And instead of dropping deadly [[Spiny Shell]]s onto the track to damage you, he gets a cool starter light and a fishing pole that helps you out of a deep, dark pit. So be thankful.

And...Oh yeah, I forgot something more important than Lakitu-his cloud (just kidding)! His cloud is white and fluffy, and is always smiling because that's just his demeanor, whether you like it or not.
