'''King Lakitu'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide, pgs. 43-49.</ref> is a boss appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. He is a large [[Lakitu]] that is fought in the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy]] in the mission [[Spiny Control]]. King Lakitu is the only boss whose name is not mentioned anywhere (dialogue or mission title) in the game. King Lakitu's battle theme is the same as the [[Mandibug Stack]]'s and [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]]'s "[[Rolling Crabber Romp]]" mission's theme. Overall, this theme is a variation of [[Baron Brrr]]'s and the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]] [[Undergrunt Gunner]]'s theme from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. He is voiced by [[Scott Burns]].


''Not to be confused with [[Lakitu King]], an enemy from [[Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]].''
==Appearance==
[[File:Giga Lakitu Profile.png|thumb|left|King Lakitu as he appears in the game.]]
King Lakitu is a large Lakitu with a purple shell. He wears black glasses and a golden crown with red and blue gems. He also wears a red and white ruff around his neck. He rides in a purple [[Lakitu's Cloud|cloud]] with yellow eyes which leaves a brief trail of purple smoke as it moves around. As he is attacked, he becomes angrier, eventually becoming furious. He turns red and smoke comes out of him, with his cloud looking angry instead of happy. Within the game's code, there is an unused texture of King Lakitu without his glasses.<ref>TCRF. [https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Galaxy_2#King_Lakitu_Animation Super Mario Galaxy 2 King Lakitu Animation]. ''The Cutting Room Floor''. Retrieved 25 July 2011.</ref>
 
King Lakitu is similar to [[Lakithunder]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', another Lakitu boss who rides a cloud capable of shooting lightning bolts.

'''Giga Lakitu''' (also referred to as '''King Lakitu''') is a boss appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. He is a Lakitu (possibly a [[Lakitu King]]) that is fought in the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy]] in the mission "Spiny Control".  
==Battle==

[[File:SMG2 King Lakitu Angry.png|225px|thumb|King Lakitu during his final attack phase.]]
King Lakitu mainly attacks by throwing [[Spiny|Spinies]] at [[Mario]]. Mario will need to use [[Yoshi]] for the battle. After King Lakitu throws a Spiny, Mario will need to use Yoshi to eat it. After the Spiny has been eaten, Yoshi will need to spit the enemy out at King Lakitu. After he is hit, King Lakitu will throw more Spinies, move at a faster pace, and unleash a new attack. He will go into the foreground and move around the stage, releasing lightning from underneath his cloud. This attack will instantly defeat Yoshi. After he is done with the attack, King Lakitu will continue throwing Spinies. After he is hit again, he will become enraged and throw even more Spinies. After he is hit once more, he will be knocked back and fall through his cloud. Mario is granted the [[Power Star]] after this. King Lakitu can be stunned by shooting a [[Star Bit]] at him. Throughout the battle he will occasionally stop and laugh at the player, leaving him open to be attacked.


==Appearance==
If the player leaves the arena while battling King Lakitu and waits for a few seconds, King Lakitu will take a nap until the player re-enters the arena.
Giga Lakitu is a overweight Lakitu that has a blue [[shell]] and rides on a purple [[Lakitu's Cloud|cloud]]. He has a yellow crown (which may indicate he's a king) and wears a pair of glasses along with a red and white ruff.
