For a different multiplayer minigame of the same name in New Super Mario Bros., see Lakitu Launch (multiplayer).

Lakitu Launch is a minigame which first appears in Super Mario 64 DS, as one of Wario's minigames, and returns in New Super Mario Bros., now as an Action minigame. Lakitu Launch has a multiplayer variation, Vs. Lakitu Launch, exclusive to New Super Mario Bros..

Gameplay[]

Using the Stylus, the player has to aim the slingshot and launch Spiny Eggs into one of two upside-down, emptied Green Shells, each carried by a pair of Lakitus. They must launch as many in there as possible within the 30-second time limit. Any Spiny Eggs that land on the ground become Spinies, who hurriedly walk off-screen. If five Spiny Eggs are launched into the same Green Shell, it drops temporarily, and if ten Spiny Eggs are launched into the same Koopa Shell, it drops to the Touch Screen for about three seconds.

Ending[]

Once the time is up, the Spinies jump out of the shells and are counted, each being worth one point, so the total score is the number of Spiny Eggs launched into the Green Shells. Once every Spiny has been counted, the minigame ends.
