Kung Fu Lakitu



Kung Fu Lakitu is a film that appears as a sponsor in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The film is a reference to the 2008 DreamWorks film Kung Fu Panda, as the poster uses a similar font and the Lakitu is in the same pose as Po on the original poster, as well as the two films' titles. The poster also says "Dragon Driftway the Movie", which is a course from the other DLC pack that has a similar theme, and also features multiple statues of Lakitus practising kung fu, similar to the image on the poster. The poster also says "Coming Spring 2015" referencing the release date of the second DLC pack in which it appeared. The main image on the poster depicts a Lakitu stood on his cloud performing a side kick, surrounded by flames in front of some mountains. The title is written in capital letters, using a red font with a gold outline at an angle, while the rest is written in a white font.

GBA Ribbon Road is the only course in the game that the film is advertised in, by means of a poster on the bedroom wall.
