'''Fishin' Lakitu''' (alternatively '''Fishing Lakitu'''<ref>M. Arakawa. Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide. Page 50.</ref><ref name=guide>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. {{media link|SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|Page 126}}.</ref>) is a variant of [[Lakitu]] that attacks via use of a fishing pole. It has become common for standard Lakitus to also be depicted with fishing poles, though they generally use them for helpful purposes.
'''Fishin' Lakitu''' are a variant of [[Lakitu]] that [[Mario]] (or [[Baby Mario]]) encounters in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. In the former, instead of raining [[Spiny|Spinies]] down upon Mario, the enemy hovers above its target, dangling a [[1-Up Mushroom]] at the end of a fishing pole. Should Mario grab this bait, the Fishin' Lakitu speeds up and throws [[Spiny Egg]]s. If the player defeats a Fishin' Lakitu, it will only throw [[Spiny|Spinies]] after it respawns. In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', they are present in [[Hookbill The Koopa's Castle]], where they attempt to steal [[Baby Mario]] from [[Yoshi]]'s back with a baitless fishing pole ending in a hook. If they snatch Baby Mario, the [[Countdown Timer]] will initiate the countdown. However, these Fishin' Lakitus fly away from Yoshi with their catch, making it harder to save him.
==History==
===''Super Mario World''===
{{multiframe|[[File:Fishin' Lakitu.png]]|align=left|bg=lightgrey}}
''[[Super Mario World]]'' is the first appearance of Fishin' Lakitus. Only one Fishin' Lakitu ever appears, in [[Forest of Illusion 4]]. The Fishin' Lakitu dangles a [[1-Up Mushroom]] from a fishing pole; when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] grabs the mushroom, it becomes a normal Lakitu and throws [[Spiny|Spinies]] at him. Mario or Luigi can defeat it the same way he can a normal Lakitu. It will respawn as a normal Lakitu from there on in.


Fishin' Lakitu's pole is now one of Lakitu's major characteristics in various ''[[Mario (series)|Mario]]'' spin-off games ranging from basketball to go-kart racing. In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], for example, Lakitu carries his starting light and various signs, and rescues racers on the pole. A Fishin' Lakitu-based business ([[List of Implied Organizations#Lakitu Travel|Lakitu Travel]]) even made an appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.
This game also introduces ghostly versions known as [[Fishing Boo|Fishin' Boos]].


A Fishin' Lakitu makes a cameo appearance in the background of the [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] stage of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and its version as a Past Stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Also, in ''Brawl'', one appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]], featuring artwork from ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''.
