-Lakitus make their [[Genre#Role Playing|RPG]] debut as a somewhat uncommon enemy in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. In this game, Lakitus for the most part take up their role in other games, although one noticeable change is given to them: rather than throwing Spinies, ''Super Mario RPG'' Lakitus toss that game's similar [[Spikey (Super Mario RPG)|Spikey]]s. Enemy Lakitus appear in four different levels in the game, and all of these Lakitus behave differently based on the level they appear in. Despite their appearances being fairly spread out, there is no more powerful sub-species of Lakitus to take their place later in the game.
+Lakitus make their [[Genre#Role Playing|RPG]] debut as a somewhat uncommon enemy in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. In this game, Lakitus for the most part take up their role in other games, although one noticeable change is given to them: rather than throwing Spinies, ''Super Mario RPG'' Lakitus toss that game's similar [[Spikey (Super Mario RPG)|Spikey]]s. Enemy Lakitus appear in four different levels in the game, and all of these Lakitus behave differently based on the level they appear in. Despite their appearances being fairly spread out, there is no more powerful sub-species of Lakitus to take their place later in the game.
 The first Lakitu Mario encounters is found in [[Mushroom Way]]. This Lakitu throws Spikeys down at Mario, but cannot be attacked because it flies so high above the ground, out of Mario's jumping range (and would make for a rather challenging enemy so early in the game if it could be attacked). The next one is found shortly afterward in [[Rose Way]]; this Lakitu (who is depicted with a Fishin' Lakitu pole on the overworld) attacks by lowering [[Shy Guy]]s down at Mario and [[Mallow]]. The crew (which then consists of Mario, Mallow, and [[Geno]]) finds the last Lakitu in [[Booster Pass]], where it attacks with [[Spikester]]s. Unlike the Lakitu from Mushroom Way, the Lakitu at Booster Pass can be attacked by scaling one of the rocky cliffs and jumping on the enemy from above. Lakitus can also be fought in the enemy corridors of [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. In battle, Lakitus often use quick, hard-to-dodge attacks.
-Although Lakitus have a minor role in this game, a [[royal bus driver|huge, mustachioed Lakitu]] actually plays a vital part in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' by operating a [[royal bus|bus]] to transport the heroes from [[Nimbus Land]] to Bowser's Keep. Earlier in the game, another Lakitu appears in [[Tadpole Pond]] as a helper of [[Frog Sage]]; this one carries the sage across the lake to talk to Mallow and Mario when they first arrive, to give the illusion that he can float in midair (though the illusion is ruined when the Lakitu lowers and can be seen fully on-screen, but they recover soon after); the Lakitu is also present when Frog Sage admits to Mallow that he is not a tadpole. Both these Lakitus appeared riding a large cloud float based on the former's bus during the game's ending sequence.

 ''Super Mario RPG'' was also [[List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars pre-release and unused content|initially going to feature]] a Lakitu helper in [[Booster Tower]] and red- and blue-shelled variants.
