Lakitu (Mario Kart referee): Difference between revisions

Lakitu reprises his role in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', also introducing his role of filming for [[Mario Kart TV]]. This lets the player replay the whole race or the best [[Highlight Reel|highlights]]. Other characters, such as [[Toad (species)|Toads]], film for the service as well. If the player fails to finish in the top three, Lakitu appears clapping in place of a trophy on the results screen, and "Nice try!" is shown instead of "Congratulations!". Additionally, if the CPU on an end-of-race results screen happens to get stuck on a wall, then they are pulled by an invisible Lakitu. In these games, Lakitu appears immediately to rescue the drivers without them having to fully plummet off-screen when falling off as they would in prior games. In addition, Lakitu appears in the group photo for the end credits of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass]]''.
