[[zeldawiki:Lakitu|Lakitu]] is notable for [[Video game references|breaking the boundaries of the ''Mario'' series]] by appearing in non-''Mario'' games such as the ''[[zeldawiki:Legend of Zelda|Legend of Zelda]]'' game ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]''. In this game, Lakitus were recognizable, but their clouds had no smiles, they seemed to not wear goggles, their hair was thicker (actually resembling Lakitu's hair as it appeared in ''Mario Superstar Baseball''), and they threw thunderbolts rather than Spiny Eggs (much like the ''Mario'' enemy [[Thunder Lakitu]]). They were found in the sky and even [[Link]] had the ability to steal their clouds with an item called the Gust Jar.

*After being asked what video game character would represent him the best, Shigeru Miyamoto replied that Lakitu would, as he "seems to be very free, floating in the air, going anywhere", a type of personality Miyamoto can apparently relate to.

*Several manuals refer to Lakitu as a sole entity rather than a generic enemy, indicating that the term "Lakitu" (as can many Mario series enemy names) can refer to both an individual character and the species that character belongs to. However, most references to Lakitu as a character only come in manuals to Mario sports titles while those to him as a species typically come from platformers. However, Super Mario Bros. actually does use a singular entry for Lakitu in its manual (presumably because only one Lakitu could appear on the screen at a time in that game).
