Lakilester

"My name is Lakilester... Er, no, it's Michael... No, um... Oh yeah... Spike. Yeah yeah, I'm Spike... Well whatever. Never mind."

- Lakilester



Lakilester (self-nicknamed Michael, Spike and Jonathan (Japanese only)) is Mario's eighth and last party member in Paper Mario.

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. By pressing C-Down, Mario can hop on his cloud and hover over certain surfaces, such as spikes and lava, without getting hurt.

In Super Paper Mario, Lakilester appears as a Catch Card found on the nintieth floor of the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials.
