The red-shelled Lakitu returns as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. He was added as a playable character during the [[Tokyo Tour]], with the [[Triple Green Shells]] as his special item, which is shared with other drivers including [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]], Koopa Troopa, and [[Dry Bones]]. | The red-shelled Lakitu returns as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.

A lone Lakitu appears in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', and is fought as a miniboss in the [[Dark Realm]] stage [[Ghost Mansion]], despite this being an uncharacteristic type of location. Like other Lakitus, it attacks by throwing Spiny Eggs, though unlike most other enemies in the game, it doesn't flinch upon being attacked. It reappears in [[Bowser's Castle (Yoshi's Safari)|Bowser's Castle]] in a long round of rematches against other minibosses; it is here battled after [[Boomerang Bro]] and before [[Sledge Bro]]. | |||

===''Yoshi's Island'' series=== | |||
[[File:Lakitu.gif|frame]] | |||
Because of the player playing as [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], Lakitu skills are better compared to those from the ''Super Mario'' series in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]]. Lakitus are featured so prominently that they have three stages ("[[Watch Out For Lakitu]]", "[[Lakitu's Wall]]", and "[[The Cave Of The Lakitus]]") named in its moniker. The game is the first chronological appearance of Lakitus. In this game, Lakitus chase their opponents in the same manner that they did in ''Super Mario World'', although the Lakitus' mechanics are changed the most in that they now use cursors to throw Spiny Eggs; if a Yoshi touches one of these cursors, Lakitu throws an egg towards the Yoshi's spot. Lakitus' attacking methods are also changed by the fact that Spinies themselves do not exist in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', meaning that their eggs simply explode upon contact with the ground. The game also introduces the common, wall-bound [[Wall Lakitu]] sub-species, as well as a rarer [[Aqua Lakitu]] which uses a snorkel to live underwater and an even rarer [[Thunder Lakitu]] creature (found only in the level "[[BLIZZARD!!!]]") which can emit thunderbolts at oncoming Yoshis. The game also reuses ''Super Mario World'''s ability to hijack Lakitu's Cloud and gives the [[Fishin' Lakitu|Fishing Lakitu]] a return appearance, although rather than tempting Yoshi with a [[1-Up Mushroom]] (as it did in the previous game), the Fishing Lakitus of ''Yoshi's Island'' rather use actual fishing hooks to grab [[Baby Mario]] and run away with him. | |||
In both sequels, ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', Lakitus (and Wall Lakitus in the former game) return as enemies and behave identically as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. | |||
===''Tetris Attack''=== | |||
When the largely ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''-themed game ''[[Tetris Attack]]'' was localized from the Japanese game ''[[Tetris Attack#Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]'', Lakitu took the role as a hero in place of the wind fairy, Windy. During the events of Vs. Com, Lakitu is hypnotized by [[Bowser]] and [[Kamek]] along with other creatures. Yoshi, bent on freeing all his friends, then travels to the Breeze Stage and fights Lakitu and its [[Goonie]] ally, which breaks the enchantment and reforges Lakitu's friendship with Yoshi. Like the majority of ''Tetris Attack'' bosses, Lakitu is also playable in that game's [[Tetris Attack#Time Trial|Time Trial]] mode, which makes ''Tetris Attack'' the first game to feature a playable Lakitu and the only game where a generic Lakitu can be taken control of by the player. | |||

In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', in the Modern version of ''[[Rain Shower]]'', a Lakitu appears and drops a heart if Mario has any misses at 200, 500, or 700 points.

===''Yoshi's Story''=== | |||

Lakitus also appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', but with a less significant role and different attacks. In this game, they now throw rocks, [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]]s, and sometimes [[melon]]s instead of Spiny Eggs, but they still ride on clouds, which Yoshi can use upon its defeat. Their clouds are different from normal: their smile is red and more at the bottom. Lakitus themselves also appear different, having rosy cheeks and separate lenses on their goggles. One Lakitu, called a 「ウォータージュゲム」<ref>「任天堂公式ガイドブック ヨッシーストーリー」 (''Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook – Yoshi's Story''), page 99.</ref> (''Wōtā Jugemu'', Water Lakitu), drops water streams that can push Yoshi down a [[pit]] near the end of [[Shy Guy Limbo]]. | |||

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], the earliest roles that Lakitu had is in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', where a [[Lakitu Bros.|Lakitu Bro]] sometimes appears in the background of the [[Peach's Castle (Super Smash Bros.)|Peach's Castle]] stage. Similarly, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', a Fishin' Lakitu makes a cameo appearance in the background of the [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] stage, and a normal Lakitu can be seen in the upper part of the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros. Melee)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage, alongside two green [[Koopa Troopa]]s and a [[Goomba]]. | |||
Various items of Lakitu have appeared throughout the games. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', a Lakitu appears as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], which can be obtained at random in single-player modes or from the [[smashwiki:Lottery|Lottery]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the ''Mario Kart 64'' incarnation of Lakitu appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]]. Lakitu and Spiny appear together in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as an Advanced-class Grab-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. When this spirit is equipped, the fighter's weight is reduced, making them faster but easier to launch. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the spirit can be found in the Mysterious Dimension sub-world of the Dark Realm. The spirit battle has [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]] and eight tiny red [[Bowser]]s as opponents. | |||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. | |||
Lakitus were introduced as an [[Assist Trophy]] character with Spinies in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', appearing in their original 8-bit form from ''Super Mario Bros.'' Upon being released, Lakitu throws Spinies on the ground, hurting whoever touches the Spinies. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Lakitu is one of the few Assist Trophies whom other fights can attack and defeat. Lakitu returns as an Assist Trophy in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', behaving identically as before. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''{{'}}s [[smashwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]] mode, Lakitus behave very similarly to their Assist Trophy counterpart, except they take on their standard design, consistent with recent releases at the time. | |||

Lakitu has friendly roles once more in the ''Mario Golf'' series. However, its figure is not so important as in other spin-off series. Its most important role is saving balls that ends up in water, thus signaling the Water Hazard. This is its only role in normal games though. In Speed Golf games, it also takes the role of signaling the player when to start playing just like they do in the ''Mario Kart'' series. | Lakitu has friendly roles once more in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]].

When the player goes to the [[Shifting Sands Stage|Shifting Sands]] world, they must take the left path (they need four [[Power Star]]s) to encounter Lakitu. It cannot be defeated, as it floats and therefore is unreachable: instead, they must defeat 4 Spinies to obtain a Power Star. | A single Lakitu appears in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''.

Several Lakitus appear in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'' and are portrayed differently throughout the worlds. There are 3 items to buy in their shops, and except for the first two worlds, they are optional to visit. In the first two worlds, Lakitu plays a prominent role. In World 1, one asks Mario or Luigi to rid his garden of a group of rowdy [[Koopa Troopa]]s. After doing that, he gives them the key to Truffle Towers. In World 2, a Pirate Lakitu has a powerful motor named the Boogie Booster that is needed to pass over a whirlpool, but the player must first beat the Lakitu at a fishing contest, as he claims the motor is not for sale. Eventually the player beats him, obtains the motor, and ventures into the whirlpool. In the [[Whee!]] minigame, a Lakitu catches Mario or Luigi after he falls after jumping from the trampoline. | Several Lakitus appear in ''[[Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix]]'' and are portrayed differently throughout the worlds.

In both ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', a green Lakitu takes the role of an umpire just as it did in ''Mario Tennis''.

Lakitu is also the only character in the [[Mario Baseball (series)|''Mario Baseball'' series]] to have dialogue but not be playable.
