Lakithunder

Lakithunder is the World 7 boss in New Super Mario Bros. He is a Dark Lakitu with sunglasses and rides a dark cloud; he is a member of the Koopa Troop. As the name implies, he can shoot lightning directly under him, and also throw Spinies. Mario must Jump on Lakithunder's head three times, when he swoops down low, to defeat him. Lakithunder does not need to be defeated to complete the game, as World 7 is optional.

Trivia

 * Lakithunder bears a large resemblance to Lakilester from Paper Mario and a smaller resemblance to Giga Lakitu from Super Mario Galaxy 2.
 * Lakithunder was most likely the enemy who attacked Peach's Castle at the beginning of the game.
