'''King Lakitu'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide, pgs. 43-49.</ref>, sometimes referred to as '''Giga Lakitu'''<ref>http://ca.ign.com/wikis/super-mario-galaxy-2/Yoshi_Star_Galaxy_part_2</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]]. 

==Appearance==
[[File:Giga Lakitu Profile.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of King Lakitu.]]
King Lakitu is an overweight Lakitu that has a purple [[shell]] and rides on a purple [[Lakitu's Cloud|cloud]] with yellow eyes (same color scheme as [[Dark Boo]]). He has a gold crown and wears a pair of glasses along with a red and white ruff around his neck.

==Strategy==
[[File:YSG9.PNG|225px|thumb|left|King Lakitu, Mario, and Yoshi.]]
King Lakitu mainly attacks by throwing [[Spiny|Spinies]] at [[Mario]]. Mario will need to use [[Yoshi]] for the battle. Luckily, there is a [[Yoshi Egg]] in the area. 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 even more Spinies and move at a faster pace. After King Lakitu is hit again, he will unleash a new attack. He will grow bigger 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 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. He will also sometimes stop and laugh at the player, leaving him open to be attacked by the player.

==Trivia==
*King Lakitu is the only boss whose name is not mentioned anywhere (dialogue or mission title) in the game.
*King Lakitu's fight theme is the same as the [[Mandibug]] stack and [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]]'s "[[Rolling Crabber Romp]]" mission's theme. Overall, this theme is a remix of [[Baron Brrr]]'s and the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]] [[Undergrunt Gunner]]'s theme from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.
*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 reenters the arena. This can also be used as another strategy, leaving him immobile and an easier target if Yoshi has a Spiny in his mouth.
*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]. ''The Cutting Room Floor''. Retrieved 25 July 2011.</ref>
*King Lakitu is similar to [[Lakithunder]], another Lakitu boss who rides a cloud capable of shooting lightning bolts.

Throughout the battle, he occasionally stops and laughs at the player, leaving him open to be attacked. After he is hit with a Spiny, King Lakitu throws more Spinies, moves at a faster pace, and begins a different attack that involves him going into the foreground and moving around the stage, releasing lightning from underneath his cloud. This attack instantly defeats Yoshi if hit. After the attack, King Lakitu continues throwing Spinies. After he is hit again, he becomes enraged and throws even more Spinies.
