'''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 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. | '''Lakitu''' is a character appearing in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, guiding the race most of the time.

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]].
