Lakitus are known for flying over the player and attacks by throwing Spiny eggs, which turn into Spinies upon touching the ground. The Spinies are among the few enemies that cannot be defeated by jumping on them, as their sharp spikes hurt the player on contact. Lakitus are a dangerous enemy who flies near the top of the screen and is often out of reach, but Lakitus can be defeated by jumping on them. In later games, a defeated Lakitu would leave behind their Lakitu Cloud, which allows the player to ride it for a short period of time. | Lakitus are known for flying over the player and attacks by throwing Spiny eggs, which turn into Spinies upon touching the ground.

In the ''Mario Kart'' series, a Lakitu appears with the starting lights, informs drivers when they are going the wrong way, and fish them back onto the track if they spin out or fall off the course for any reason. A Lakitu makes a playable appearance in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mario Kart 7}}'' and several appear as the production crew for Mario Kart TV in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Mario Kart 8}}''. In ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'', a Lakitu is constantly behind Mario holding a camera from a pole. Before Mario enters the castle for the first time, the Lakitu explains how the camera controls work. This was done to give new players a frame of reference to better understand how to control the camera, which was a new feature at the time. The Lakitu can even be seen behind Mario in rooms that have mirrors. | |||
