'''Lakitu''' is a character appearing in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, guiding the race most of the time. He most prominently appears as the referee, holding a starting light with a fishing pole that tells the drivers when the race begins (except in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''), and signals the drivers what lap or section they are currently on or in (appearing on the left/right side of the player, depending on the race’s final turn to the [[Finish | {{quote|Hi everybody!

He most prominently appears as the referee, holding a starting light with a fishing pole that tells the drivers when the race begins (except in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''), and signals the drivers what lap or section they are currently on or in (appearing on the left/right side of the player, depending on the race’s final turn to the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]] since ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''). Another role he has is signaling the players if they are driving the wrong way. If the driver crosses the finish line at the end of the race, then Lakitu comes in, waving the checkered flag. | |||
Another role Lakitu has is helping out the drivers when they are in a bad situation by transporting them back onto the track. This applies when the racers are falling into a void, a body of water that they cannot drive through, or [[lava]], or when they are going out of bounds of the track. However, as a penalty for falling, they have to wait a few seconds before they can drive again, usually losing some position, and in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Lakitu also takes up to three of the player's [[coin]]s if they have any. | Another role Lakitu has is helping out the drivers when they are in a bad situation by transporting them back onto the track.

Lakitu first appears as the race guide beginning with ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. In this game, Lakitu displays a yellow flag with an "'''X'''" on it if players are driving the wrong way and a signal light to count down the start of the race from top to bottom. Lakitu's sprites in ''Super Mario Kart'' are very similar to [[Fishin' Lakitu]]'s sprites in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. While Fishin' Lakitus in ''Super Mario World'' have red eyes, Lakitu in ''Super Mario Kart'' has green eyes, making him appear similar to a [[Lakitu in a Pipe]]. | Lakitu first appears as the race guide beginning with ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''.

Occasionally, in this game, a [[Cheep Cheep]] will be caught on his device that counts down the start of the race. This is merely a gag, and does not affect the gameplay. This game introduces a U-turn arrow sign to alert players when they are driving the wrong way; this sign becomes the permanent one used in later titles. Also, this game is the first ''Mario Kart'' game to have him shown on the left or right side of the player when they cross the finish line to begin the next lap, depending on the course’s last turn. In addition, this game introduces a new signal light that counts down from three going from left to right (right to left in 150cc Mirror). | ||

Lakitu reprises his role in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', also introducing his role of filming for [[Mario Kart TV]]. This lets the player replay the whole race or the best [[Highlight Reel|highlights]]. Other characters, such as [[Toad (species)|Toads]], film for the service as well. If the player fails to finish in the top three, Lakitu appears clapping in place of a trophy on the results screen, and "Nice try!" is shown instead of "Congratulations!". Additionally, if the CPU on an end-of-race results screen happens to get stuck on a wall, then they are pulled by an invisible Lakitu. In these games, Lakitu appears immediately to rescue the drivers without them having to fully plummet off-screen when falling off as they would in prior games. | Lakitu reprises his role in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', also introducing his role of filming for [[Mario Kart TV]].
