Fishin' Lakitus are enemies in ''Super Mario World''. Only one Fishin' Lakitu ever appears, in [[Forest of Illusion 4]], where it dangles a [[1-Up Mushroom]] from a fishing pole. If the player character obtains the 1-Up Mushroom, the Fishin' Lakitu becomes a normal Lakitu and throws [[Spiny|Spinies]] at him. Additionally, Fishin' Lakitus were introduced alongside a ghostly variant, [[Fishing Boo|Fishin' Boos]].

Fishing Lakitus<!--Their name is spelled like this for Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.--> attempt to steal [[Baby Mario]] from [[Yoshi]]'s back with a baitless fishing pole ending in a hook.
