'''Lakilester''' (self-nicknamed '''Michael''', '''Spike''', and '''Jonathan''' (Japanese version only)) is a [[Lakitu]] who is the eighth and last party member to join [[Mario]]'s party in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Lakilester is a portmanteau of "Lakitu" and "Lester", and is probably a pun on "lackluster". Lakilester joins Mario's team after he is defeated by the plumber, as well as abandoning the antagonists to do so. This trait is later carried on with [[Vivian]] from the sequel, ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. His appearance is no different than an ordinary Lakitu, besides sporting a pair of shades and having more hair than an ordinary Lakitu's 3-lined hair. Lakilester also has a habit of saying "man" to try and sound "cool".
