'''Fishin' | A '''Fishin' Lakitu''' (alternatively '''Fishing Lakitu'''<ref>Nintendo ''Mario Mania'' Player's Guide. Page 50.</ref>) is a variant of [[Lakitu]] found throughout the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. This Lakitu uses a fishing rod to hold up various objects, usually items or stoplights. | ||

[[File:Fishin' Lakitu.png|thumb|left]] | |||
''[[Super Mario World]]'' marks the first appearance of Fishin' Lakitu. Only one appears in this game, in [[Forest of Illusion 4]]. In this game, the Fishin' Lakitu dangles a [[1-Up Mushroom]] from a fishing pole; should Mario grab the mushroom, it becomes a normal Lakitu and throws Spinies at Mario. Mario can defeat it the same way he can a normal Lakitu. It will respawn as a normal Lakitu from there on in. | |||
This game also introduces ghostly versions known as [[Fishing Boo|Fishin' Boo]]s. | |||

No Fishin' Lakitus appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' outright; however, the [[Lakitu Bros.]], who have fishing poles with cameras on them, appear in the game as cameramen and exist mostly to explain how the camera works. | |||

[[File:SMA4 Lakitu Sprite.png|thumb|left]] | |||
In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', whenever the player wants to scan an [[e-Reader]] card, a Fishin' Lakitu will appear to whisk Mario away from wherever on the map he is on. This Lakitu has a slightly different appearance from the enemy Lakitus found in levels. | |||
He goes unused in the European version due to all e-Reader content being removed. He also goes unused in Virtual Console releases due to all e-Reader levels being unlocked by default. | |||

[[File:SMO - Sand Kingdom Lakitu Fishing.jpg|thumb|right|Mario in the Sand Kingdom controlling a Fishin' Lakitu.]] | |||
Fishin' Lakitus (referred to simply as "Lakitus") return in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' as NPCs instead of enemies. They appear in [[Sand Kingdom]], [[Lake Kingdom]], [[Snow Kingdom]], and [[Bowser's Kingdom]], and generally do not appear until all the main story Power Moons have been collected for a kingdom (most notably, the Sand Kingdom's Lakitu is frozen). Mario can use [[Cappy]] to [[capture]] the Lakitu and fish for the biggest [[Cheep Cheep]] in the water in order to get a [[Power Moon]]. In the Sand Kingdom, Mario must also fish [[Captain Toad]] out of sand, while in Bowser's Kingdom, he must fish for [[Poochy]] in purple sludge. If an enemy gets too close to the Lakitu, he will complain that he can't fish under these conditions, regardless whether Mario has captured the enemy in question or not. | |||

A Fishin' Lakitu appeared in ''Mario Kart''-themed issues of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'', generally serving the same role it does in those games. This one seems to be wilder than usual; most notably, it bonks Mario with the starting light at one point. | |||

===''Mario Kart'' series=== | ===''Mario Kart'' series=== | ||
{{ | A single, unnamed Lakitu appears throughout the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], billed in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''{{'}}s instruction manual as the owner of all the tracks. He uses his fishing pole to hold the starting lights (except in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'') and fish out racers who fall off the track. The action of falling off a track and being fished out incurs a considerable loss of time and often position, and in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', he also charges up to three [[coin]]s for fishing out a racer; however, if a racer does not have enough coins, he fishes out the racer anyway. | ||
Starting with ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', he uses his pole to show the lap count as well as a U-turn sign when a driver is going the wrong way. In ''Mario Kart 8'', after about five seconds, he will also flip a driver so that they go in the right direction again. | |||
''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' has an intro gag regarding the Fishin' Lakitu: he normally appears holding the starting light, but may sometimes appear with a Cheep Cheep that falls off the hook. | |||

If they snatch Baby Mario, the [[Countdown Timer]] will start. However, these Fishin' Lakitus fly away from Yoshi with their catch, making it harder to save him. | |||

In most [[Mario Tennis (series)|''Mario Tennis'']] games, a Lakitu sits on one side of the net and uses his fishing pole to fish balls. In [[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)|the Nintendo 64 ''Mario Tennis'']], he's only seen doing this when a player faults. In ''[[Mario's Tennis]]'', he shows the current score using his fishing pole, while in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', he uses the pole to show starting lights (recycled from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''), the score, and time left in various minigames. | |||

[[File:Test for the Best 6.png|thumb|right|Fishin' Lakitu in Test for the Best in ''Mario Party 8'']] | |||
Lakitu occasionally uses a fishing pole in the ''Mario Party'' series. This is seen in [[Lakitu's Luck]] in ''[[Mario Party-e]]'' and [[Test for the Best]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', as well as in Toad Scramble mode of ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. Fishin' Lakitus appear in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' as non-playable characters, and take over [[Klepto]]'s role in [[Paths of Peril]] in ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. | |||

In the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]], if a player hits into a water or tree hazard, a single, unnamed Lakitu will be seen with his fishing pole, presumably to fish the ball out. This was not seen in [[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|the GBC ''Mario Golf'']] in favor of an angry [[Blooper]] shaking a fist at the player, nor was it seen in ''[[Mario Golf Advance Tour]]''. | |||
A Fishin' Lakitu also appears at the start of Speed Golf, holding starting lights (usually recycled from a ''Mario Kart'' game) on the fishing pole. | |||

===''Mario & Luigi'' series=== | |||
Fishin' Lakitus appear in the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|first]] [[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|three]] [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|games]] in the series (as well as the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|first]] and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|third games' remakes]]), acting as level-up assistants. Whenever the player [[Level up|levels up]], a Fishin' Lakitu appears with a selecting device that allows the player choose which stat they wish to add bonus points to (on top of the normal points gained while leveling up). Once selected, the device then flips over and becomes a roulette that determines how many points that stat will earn, from one to three. Fishin' Lakitus also appear in the final battle with [[Fawful]] in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', holding up spotlights. | |||
