Wall Lakitus are enemies in the Yoshi series. They are Lakitu variants that, instead of floating around in Lakitu's Clouds, appear hiding behind walls, waiting for a Yoshi to approach and then quickly launch a Spiny Egg at them. They can be defeated by any method of attack: by being jumped on, by throwing an egg at them, or by swallowing them to turn them into eggs. After a Wall Lakitu is defeated, another will replace it after a short time.
History[edit]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]
Wall Lakitus first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake, where they appear as uncommon enemies. They can first be seen in the level "Lakitu's Wall", where they are the main enemy and appear in large numbers throughout. They later reappear in The Cave Of The Mystery Maze and BLIZZARD!!! A Wall Lakitu appears in a hole in the walls, looking around for Yoshi, and upon seeing them, they will aim with a blinking crosshair to indicate where they are firing and quickly launch a Spiny Egg in their direction, which will explode upon contact with the ground. Wall Lakitus are usually found in groups of two or more, making it difficult to evade their projectiles. Aqua Lakitus, another variant of Lakitus found in the game, behave similarly to Wall Lakitus, with the only difference being that they hide in the water.
Yoshi Touch & Go[edit]
Wall Lakitus appear in Yoshi Touch & Go, where they primarily appear in Marathon Mode. They appear in groups and slowly launch Spiny Eggs at Yoshi . Their Spiny Eggs can be destroyed with eggs, though they cannot be defeated by drawing bubbles around them. The best option is to defeat them by throwing an egg at them, which will give 2 points. Flashing variants also appear; they are worth 4 points.
Yoshi's Island DS[edit]
Wall Lakitus reappear in Yoshi's Island DS, maintaining their appearance and behavior from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They first appear in Big Bungee Piranha's Lair and reappear in Castle of Priscilla the Peckish and in Rock 'n' Fall. In the Island Museum, Wall Lakitus appear in the airborne-enemy exhibit.
Yoshi's New Island[edit]
Wall Lakitus appear in Yoshi's New Island. Their behavior is similar to how it was in the previous games, with the differences being that their projectiles travel more slowly and can break through destructible terrain. Additionally, their blinking crosshairs no longer have lines. They only appear in the level Hidey-Hole Hooligans, where they are the main enemy again.
Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]
Wall Lakitus appear in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. They behave similarly to previous appearances; however, they have now completely lost their blinking crosshair. In addition to being found in the usual walls, Wall Lakitus also appear on climbable walls, where they will peek out from the bottom or back to throw Spiny Eggs at the Yoshis. They only appear in the levels Scarf-Roll Scamper and Lakitu Peekaboo. After being swallowed and turned into yarn balls, they will be yellow.
Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]
Wall Lakitus appear in Yoshi's Crafted World, only in the level Be Afraid of the Dark. Unlike previous appearances, Wall Lakitus now appear in windows of buildings in the background of the level, rather than in holes, and launch Spiny Eggs toward the Yoshi. Since they are in the background, the only way Yoshi can defeat them is by throwing an egg at them.
