Lakitu Launch is one of Wario's minigames in Super Mario 64 DS and an Action minigame in New Super Mario Bros.
The music used in this minigame is an arrangement of the track played in Big Boo's Haunt's merry-go-round, like in Bingo Ball and Slots Shot.
Gameplay[edit]
The player must use the stylus to aim the slingshot and launch Spiny Eggs into the giant Green Shells the Lakitus are carrying. If the player shoots many Spiny Eggs into the same Green Shell, it will drop to the bottom of the area temporarily, possibly allowing the player to earn a few quick extra hits. After 30 seconds, the Spinies jump out of the shells and are counted.
The multiplayer version of Lakitu Launch is Vs. Lakitu Launch. The 1-on-1 version of the same name, however, is completely different from the single-player version.
