Biography[]

Paper Mario[]

Lakilester is a Lakitu who initially serves Huff N. Puff. As such, Mario has to battle Lakilester on their first encounter. They meet in the rocky area in front of the tower where the Sun lies. After the battle, Lakilester concedes to Mario and his girlfriend, Lakilulu, enters the scene and begins to yell at Mario. After answering some of her questions, Mario invites Lakilester into his party. If Lakilester is Mario's current party member when Huff N' Puff is encountered for the first time, Huff N' Puff will be furious at Lakilester for his betrayal, threatening to take him down as well.

Power and abilities[]

Out of battle, Lakilester has an ability that allows Mario to ride over spikes and lava. This ability is used throughout Flower Fields and Bowser's Castle.

In battle, Lakilester has the following abilities: Spiny Flip, Spiny Surge, Cloud Nine, and Hurricane. Spiny Flip gives Lakilester a Spiny Egg and throws it at a target. Spiny Surge is similar in that it throws multiple Spiny eggs at all enemies. Cloud Nine is one of the few attacks in Paper Mario that give Mario heightened evasiveness. The Hurricane attack is similar to Lady Bow's attack to scare enemies away as this attack blows enemies out of the battle, receiving no star points.
