In battle, Lakitufos are particularly dangerous. Not only can they launch Spiny Shroopa Eggs to attack, they can also beam down more Spiny Shroopas onto the battlefield, effectively increasing the enemy’s forces. As such, Lakitufos should be the first target. If they are not destroyed, they will continue to spawn more and more poisonous Spiny Shroopas. A Lakitufo can also jump off its UFO and perform an aerial spin attack.

It is unknown is Lakitufos were brought to the [[Mushroom World|planet]] by the Shroobs or if the mushroom invaders bio-engineered pre-existing Lakitus into Lakitufos. If they were brought from another planet, this would indicate that similar species have roots across the universe.

Lakitufos are a type of Lakitus which are found in the Vim Factory in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, seemingly being an ally to the invading Shroob army.
