Lakitu Info Center

The interior of the Lakitu Info Center located in Sunbeam Plains

The Lakitu Info Center (spelled Lakitu Info Centre in the British English version) is a series of locations in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. Located in most major areas of the game, the Lakitu Info Centers let the party play both new Toad rescue missions as well as revisit ones they've already completed.

Many of these missions have alternate hard mode versions, and beating them gives the player Medals, with a certain number getting them an exclusive Battle Card. The missions are organized by location, and a full list can be found below.

Each Lakitu Info Center also contains a Warp Pipe leading to an arcade, where the player can participate in a variety of minigames based on previous boss battles, Bros. Attacks, Trio Attacks, and Papercraft battles, and purchase Lakitea.

When the player initially enters the Lakitu Info Center, the Lakitu charges them a fee of 10 coins before allowing them to rescue Paper Toads. If the player has less than 10 coins upon arrival, it will be free.

Note that Bowser's Castle and Neo Bowser Castle are considered the same area as far as Lakitu Center missions go.

Hide-and-Sneak	"Make your way to Bowser Jr. and Paper Bowser Jr. without being seen by any minions."	"Catch both Bowser Jrs."
