King Lakitu

King Lakitu is a boss appearing in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. He is a Lakitu that is fought in the Yoshi Star Galaxy in the mission "Spiny Control".

Appearance
King Lakitu is a fat Lakitu that has a blue shell and rides on a purple cloud. He dons a yellow crown and wears a pair of glasses along with a red and white ruff.

Strategy
King Lakitu mainly attacks by throwing Spinies at Mario. Mario will need to use Yoshi for the battle. Luckily, there is a Yoshi Egg in the area. After King Lakitu throws a Spiny, Mario will need to use Yoshi to eat it. After the Spiny has been eaten, Yoshi will need to spit out the enemy at King Lakitu. After he is hit, King Lakitu will throw even more Spinies and move at a faster pace. After King Lakitu is hit again, he will unleash a new attack. He will grow bigger and move around the stage, releasing lightning from underneath his cloud. This attack will instantly defeat Yoshi. After he is done with the attack, King Lakitu will continue throwing even more Spinies. After he is hit once more, he will be knocked back and fall through his cloud. Mario is granted the Power Star after this.
