Lakitu

Lakitu
Lakitu is a small, Koopa-like creature that floats around on a cloud. In early Super Mario games, he was seen as an enemy, throwing spiked balls at Mario. If the spiked balls landed on the ground, they would change into spiny Koopas that Mario could not step on. In later games, Lakitu has been seen as helpful and now holds a fishing rod. In Super Mario 64 he holds the camera that watches Mario on his fishing pole and in Mario Kart games, he is usually seen holding the traffic light and lap signs on his fishing pole.
