In ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]], unlike the past few games, normal Lakitus follow [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] rather than moving back and forth. Also, when a Lakitu is defeated by projectiles, Mario or Luigi can ride its cloud and use it to fly to hidden parts of stages and over obstacles temporarily; Lakitu's Cloud simply disappears if it is jumped on. ''Super Mario World'' also introduces Lakitu-derived species, such as [[Fishin' Lakitu]]s, [[Fishing Boo|Fishin' Boo]], and '''Lakitu in a Pipe'''.<ref> | In ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|its reissue]], unlike the past few games, normal Lakitus follow [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] rather than moving back and forth.

''Super Mario World'' is the only game in the main series to feature cloud-riding Lakitus with red shells instead of green. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] reissue, however, if Luigi rides Yoshi and spits out a Lakitu from a Pipe, its shell is shown to be green, using a sprite similar to a [[Koopa Troopa]]'s shell but with stripes. | ''Super Mario World'' is the only game in the main series to feature cloud-riding Lakitus with red shells instead of green.

Super Show!]]'' produced by [[Nintendo]] and [[DIC Entertainment]], in the episode "[[Mario and the Red Baron Koopa]]." ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' depicts Lakitu as a green, more-reptilian turtle with a large nose, resembling generic [[Koopa Troopa]]s in the cartoon, who wears a red-lensed, gold-framed aviator's goggles. In the episode, King Koopa (using a [[magic carpet]] he has stolen from [[Sam Shalam]]) brings Lakitu to the country of [[Pastaland]], where he scares the citizens, as well as Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Toad, with Spinies and rain. Afterward, Lakitu helps King Koopa launch the [[Wicked Weather Satellite]], and the two relax atop Lakitu's cloud until Mario, Luigi, and Toad defeat King Koopa and destroy the Wicked Weather Satellite. Lakitu itself is last seen attempting at maintaining its cloud, which has been broken by the Mario Brothers' biplane. Finally, this cartoon episode marked the first time Lakitu's Western name was spoken; King Koopa and Princess Toadstool pronounced it "la-KEE-too." | ||
Koopa seemed to treat Lakitu more like a friend than a servant, as Koopa never once insulted Lakitu or got mad at him. | Koopa seemed to treat Lakitu more like a friend than a servant, as Koopa never once insulted Lakitu or got mad at him. | ||

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.

Lakitus make another ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' appearance in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. Despite most of the enemies in the game having new appearances, Lakitu has retained his form from the last two ''Paper Mario'' games. Only one appears in the game and is found in [[Whammino Mountain]] as an obstacle, throwing Spinies. By grabbing a [[Super Star]] nearby, [[Mario]] can run through the Spinies and to the top of the mountain. Though the Lakitu flies high, he can be defeated at the top of the mountain if Mario quickly jumps into him when he drifts downwards, and this hurt frame can be seen. However Lakitu has other hurt frames that went unused, suggesting that he was planned to be an actual enemy. Additionally, unused graphics for a fishing pole associated with Lakitu's graphics exist in the data.<ref>TCRF | Lakitus make another ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' appearance in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''.

Lakitu is notable for appearing in [[List of references in Nintendo video games|games outside of the ''Super Mario'' franchise]] such as ''[[zeldawiki:Legend of Zelda (Series)|the 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 ''Super Mario'' enemy [[Thunder Lakitu]]). They are found in the [[zeldawiki:Cloud Tops|Cloud Tops]] area and the corresponding dungeon, the [[zeldawiki:Palace of Winds (The Minish Cap)|Palace of Winds]]. [[Link]] has to attack them from afar, as the Lakitu hides in its cloud if he gets too close. Additionally, Link can use the [[zeldawiki:Gust Jar|Gust Jar]] to remove the cloud and render the Lakitu defenseless. | Lakitu is notable for appearing in [[List of references in Nintendo video games|games outside of the ''Super Mario'' franchise]] such as ''[[zeldawiki:Legend of Zelda (Series)|the Legend of Zelda]]'' game ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap|The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap]]''.
