Blooming Lakitus

Blooming Lakitus, or Layer-Cake Desert-6, is the sixth course of Layer-Cake Desert in New Super Mario Bros. U. It is unlocked by passing either Spike's Spouting Sands or Dry Desert Mushrooms. Passing this level unlocks Morton's Compactor Castle. This is also the location of the second Nabbit chase, triggered by completing Waterspout Beach.
