Lakithunder (ボスジュゲム Bosujugemu?) is a Lakitu who rides a black storm cloud. He is the seventh boss of New Super Mario Bros..

Profile[]

Physical description[]

Lakithunder wears black shades with yellow trimmings and a yellow lightning symbol above it in the center, and lacks the three lines of hair on his head that most Lakitus have. His Lakitu Cloud is dark gray with yellow eyes and mouth, having a evil-looking facial expression.

Powers and abilities[]

Lakithunder possesses the standard abilities of normal Lakitus, such as hovering about the skies in his cloud and throwing Spiny Eggs at Mario or Luigi. Lakithunder, however, gains the ability of electrokinesis, being able to conjure yellow lightning bolts and try to shoot them down at Mario or Luigi.

In New Super Mario Bros.[]

Lakithunder NSMB sprite

He appears as the boss in World 7, meaning that either he or Monty Tank of World 6 must be defeated in order for access to World 8, unless the cannon from World 5 is taken.

Lakithunder attacks by shooting lightning bolts at the player or dropping Spinies. He also tries to attack Mario or Luigi by swooping downwards. This is the chance the two get to pounce on Lakithunder and attack him. The more pounced on, the more aggressive his lightning bolt attacks get, along with a larger amount of Spinies thrown down at Mario or Luigi. Lakithunder must either be jumped on three times or hit with 15 fireballs to be defeated and therefore surrender his key. If by chance Mario or Luigi have a Mega Mushroom in their inventory, they can instantly defeat Lakithunder by touching it while in their Mega form.

Trivia[]

  • Lakithunder appears to be related to Giga Lakitu.
  • Due to the similar grey clouds and the lightning bolts coming out of the clouds while attacking Princess Peach's Castle, Lakithunder could have attacked the castle, due to his similar traits.
  • Lakithunder's cloud resembles a Lightning Cloud, and could in fact be one itself, as they both shoot lightning.
