He is the staff ghost racer for Piranha Plant Slide and SNES Rainbow Road and is the most common CPU along with Toad. His stats match those of Toad, Koopa Troopa, and Shy Guy, which makes him a featherweight racer. As in all other Mario Kart games, he resembles a turtle on a cloud. Mario Kart 7 is the first time that Lakitu is made available as a racer. So be thankful.Īnd then there's his Cloud, Lakitu's cloud is white and fluffy, and is always smiling because that's just his demeanor. And instead of dropping deadly Spiny Shells onto the track to damage you, he gets a cool starter light and a fishing pole that helps you out of a deep, dark pit. That way, he can talk to other Koopas if he gets bored of the race. In other Mario games, Lakitu just has regular goggles, but in Mario Kart, a headset is attached to his goggles. When he is a referee in Mario Kart, his shell is green, but when he is a driver, he has a red shell. He has three black strands of hair on his head. He lacks shoes like the other Koopas, but it's okay because most of the time he is in a cloud, so you can't see his feet. He is a little bit chubbier than a regular Koopa, but he is still a yellow shade. That cloud is really the only thing that sets him apart from a normal Koopa Troopa. Lakitu, just being a friendly Koopa like he always is (well, at least in Mario Kart). In the last two games, Lakitu has managed to become a playable racer as well (three times if you count 8 deluxe.) If the player taps the Acceleration button just as they hit the ground after Lakitu drops them onto the track, they perform a recovery boost. In Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart 7, and Mario Kart 8, Lakitu charged the player Coins to drop them back onto the track. And, of course, if the player falls off the track or goes out of bounds, he will use his fishing pole to get them back onto the track. After crossing the finish line, he will appear to indicate the lap the player is on with his lap sign or wave a checkered flag to indicate the race is finished. If the player is driving in the wrong direction, he will appear holding a "Wrong Way" or a U-Turn sign until he/she turns around. Lakitu has a kind soul, and in the races, Lakitu will perform a whole lot of helpful duties most importantly, he will start the race or battle by using his Start Signal. In the instruction guide for Super Mario Kart, Lakitu introduced players to the world of Mario Kart, showing them different features of the game. Lakitu is the referee that has appeared in every Mario Kart game since the series inception.
