Lakitu Orb
The Lakitu Orb (previously called Lakitu Capsule) is an Orb from Mario Party 5 and Mario Party 7. In Mario Party 5, it can be thrown to a space on the board, or used on the player for ten coins. When the effect is activated, Lakitu appears and uses his fishing rod to take away a random Capsule from an opponent of the user's choice, and gives the stolen capsule to the player. If the player already has three Capsules, then Lakitu keeps the stolen Capsule, and if none of the other players have any Capsules then he flies away without doing anything. This Capsule's effect is highly similar to that of the Plunder Chest.
In Mario Party 7, it returns as the Lakitu Orb, which can only be obtained on the board Neon Heights. Players can only use it on themselves, summoning Lakitu to steal one of the three treasure chests on the board and allowing the player to open it. However, the chest is picked randomly. Shops in Neon Heights sell Lakitu Orbs for fifteen or thirty coins.
