Sock It to Lakitu is a boss minigame in Mario Party 9.

Introduction

Lakitu flies from the sky, spins around, pulls out a Spiny Egg, and throws it onto the field where all the players are.

Gameplay

The ddlc girls must run around the field, hitting Roulette Block blocks that appear in groups of three. Four images on the blocks cycle: a sayori head two Natsuki heads, three Yuri heads, and a racoon boss face. The images indicate what a block releases if it is hit at that moment. heads are launched at him and his wft earning the player who fired them a point for every hit, while racoon heads hatch into racoons that wander in a random direction before falling off the edge of the field. Players who hit racoon bombs lose a point. New blocks do not spawn until all three of the existing blocks have been hit. Initially, Lakitu himself hovers out of the players' reach, occasionally throwing Spiny Eggs onto the field to try to prevent players from reaching the blocks. A player who falls into the surrounding pit returns to the field via bubble shortly thereafter. Once Racoon boss's health bar is halfway gone, he starts throwing larger racoon heads that hatch into strong buff racoons Not only are br harder to evade, but they also deduct two points from any player who hits one. The one who delivers the final attack get an extra three points, and the player with the most points after the battle is the winner.

Ending

Once the last Bullet Bill hits Lakitu, he is flung into the sky with his cloud, turning into a star in the distance, as he releases a bunch of Mini Stars in Party Mode and Solo Mode.
