[[File: BrawlLakitu.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lakitu in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.]]
Lakitus make their debut in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', where a [[Lakitu Bros.|Lakitu Bro.]] rarely appears in the background of the [[Princess Peach's Castle]] stage. It appears again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', where a ''Super Mario World'' sprite of him cameos alongside a [[Banzai Bill]] in the background of the [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] stage. It also appears in the upper part of ''[[Mushroom Kingdom (stage)|Mushroom Kingdom]]'', alongside two green [[Koopa Troopa]]s and a [[Goomba]]. Also, a [[Fishin' Lakitu]] (although simply named "Lakitu") appears as a [[trophy]]. Lakitu appears again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as an [[Assist Trophy]] character, appearing in its original 8-bit form from ''Super Mario Bros.'' It will toss Spinies on the ground when released from the Assist Trophy, hurting players who hit the Spinies. It is, however, one of the few Assist Trophies that can be attacked and defeated.
Line 198 ⟶ 199:
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Lakitu are found only in the area [[Flower Fields]], where they aid [[Huff N. Puff]] in his plot to cover the fauna filled place with clouds. In this game, Lakitus, as well as throwing Spiny Eggs, employ a new tactic, if one sights Mario in the field, it will charge towards him, attempting to ram the plumber. As well as appearing as generic enemies, Lakitus appear as mini-bosses at least three times in ''Paper Mario''. The Lakitu in this game appear to directly serve Huff N. Puff rather than just [[Bowser]].

Line 224 ⟶ 225:
====''Super Paper Mario''====
As is par with ''Mario'' RPGs, Lakitu is a rare enemy character in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', which is actually a cross between platforming and role-playing. In this game, Lakitus are only seen in areas such as [[The Dotwood Tree]] and [[Overthere Stair]]; however, the aforementioned Laki character from ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' is given a reference in some [[Merlee's Mansion]] graffiti in this game and a Lakitu (despite his species's obscurity in ''Super Paper Mario'') can appear as one of the randomly-generated characters on the first page of [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/r8pj/index.html the Japanese ''Super Paper Mario'' website]. The Lakitu [[Catch Card]] in ''Super Paper Mario'' states Lakitu's motives for throwing Spiny Eggs at opponents: Lakitu's actions are because someone "made fun of its glasses". It's implied that Laki wrote graffiti on the wall of [[Merlee's Basement]].
Line 238 ⟶ 239:
====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:Level Up Screen (Mario & Luigi Partners In Time).png|thumb|left|Lakitu as the [[Level Up]] assistant in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''.]]
Lakitu's minor, friendly roles in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series continued with ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', where he takes on his role of level up assistant yet again, only here with a better-animated fishing line. A Fishin' Lakitu with a camera (quite possibly one of ''Super Mario 64''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Lakitu Bros.) also goes to [[Princess Peach's Castle]] presumably to report on the launch of [[Professor Elvin Gadd]]'s [[E. Gadd's Time Machine|Time Machine]] towards the beginning of the game; when [[Toadsworth]]'s fainting faces Mario with the challenge of retrieving a [[Refreshroom]] from the elderly [[Toad (species)|Toad]]'s room, this friendly Lakitu reporter aids the [[plumber]] with a "cloud-cam view" of the castle, actually the bird's-eye [[map]] that Mario, Luigi, and their baby selves continue to use throughout the rest of their adventure. The Lakitu then flies off and is never seen again; as a matter of fact, the only other generic Lakitu seen in ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'' is an unnamed agent of [[List of Implied Organizations#Lakitu Travel|Lakitu Travel]] who transports [[Kylie Koopa]] and [[Toadbert]] to the [[Star Shrine]] right before the battle with [[Elder Shrooboid]]. However, another Lakitu sub-species can be fought in the [[Vim Factory]]; these [[Shroobified]] Lakitus, the [[Lakitufo]]s, fly on UFOs rather than clouds, have antennae, and beam down [[Spiny Shroopa]]s rather than throwing Spinies.
====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''====
Lakitu kept his role in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series for a third time in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' as the level up assistant yet again. However this is his only role. Two new species of Lakitu are also introduced: [[Glam Lakitu]] and [[Lakitu King]], respectively.

He drops the puck in hockey matches during a face-off, and throws the dodgeball or basketball in the air for basketball and dodgeball matches during a tip-off.

==Trivia==
{{trivia}}
*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).
