'''Lakilester''' (self-nicknamed '''Michael''', '''Spike''' and '''Jonathan''' (Japanese version only)) is [[Mario]]'s eighth and last party member in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Lakilester appears as a [[Catch Card]] found on the ninetieth floor of the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]]. Lakilester is a portmanteau of Lakitu and Lester, and is probably a pun on "lackluster". Lakilester is a partner who joins Mario after Mario defeats them, as well as abandoning the antagonists to do so, very much as [[Vivian]] from the sequel, ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', | |||

In [[Flower Fields]], Mario and his team finds a [[Lakitu]] on the way to [[Cloudy Climb]]. He introduces himself by his nickname Spike, then attacks. After he is defeated, a female Lakitu named [[Lakilulu]] comes and asks Mario not to finish Lakilester. Lakilester is annoyed and asks Lakilulu to call him Spike because it's his new name. Lakilester tells Mario that he is working for [[Huff N. Puff]] and asks him why he is trying to save the world. No matter what he answers, Lakilester thinks Mario is cool and joins the party. Lakilester wants to be stronger for his girlfriend, which is similar to [[Koops]] in the sequel. By using his field ability, Mario can hop on his cloud and hover over certain surfaces, such as [[spikes]] and [[lava]], without getting hurt. Though it is entirely possible to use Lakilester to travel over lava, he visibly struggles while doing so. He moves considerably slower and his cloud's expression changes to an angry frown. However, because Lakilester floats low over the ground, he cannot be used to cross gaps like [[Parakarry]] can. | |||
===''Super Mario-Kun''=== | |||
Lakilester makes an appearance also in volume 26 of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''. As in the game, he initially attacks Mario. His moves include throwing a [[Spiny Surge]] while his cloud can use [[Hurricane (Paper Mario)|Hurricane]]. Mario and his partners eventually fight back by stacking each other and having Mario using this stack to reach Lakilester. Lakilester then joins Mario to help him on his quest. | |||

|tattle=He said his name is Spike. He seems to be a Lakitu, but he's the weirdest one I've seen. Is it just me, or did he call himself Spike, Michael and Lakilester? What an odd guy... ...I have to wonder just what his real name is... | |||

*Originally, Lakilester was [[List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door beta elements|going to]] make an appearance in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', but he was removed along with most of the other partners from the original ''Paper Mario''. | |||
**Lakilester also has sprite data for ''Super Paper Mario'', even though he never appeared in that game. | |||
*Lakilester is the only character other than [[Watt]] who can damage [[Bowser]] after he powers himself up with the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] during the first round of the final battle. However, the two can only take away 1 [[Heart Point|HP]] each. | |||
*[[Carrie]]'s ability from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' is extremely similar to his ability. | |||
