'''Lakitu Kings''' are enemies that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. They appear as [[Lakitu]]s with a gold crown (with globes on the pointed tips in the remake), a gold shell and gold stars on their cloud. The Lakitu King only appears in battle on the top screen when [[Bowser]] encounters a [[Flifit]]. It has a stronger variant known as the [[Glam Lakitu]].

==Battle==
Bowser must inhale the Lakitu King using the [[Vacuum Block]], allowing [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to battle it. The Lakitu King will attack by throwing golden [[Spiny Egg]]s at the Mario Bros., along with some [[coin]]s. If the Lakitu King throws the item overhand, it will be bounce off the ground and above them. If the Mario Bros. do not defeat the Lakitu King within a few turns, it will escape, causing Bowser to cough it up before it flies away.

In ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey'', Lakitu Kings are found as enemies in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode. Lakitu Kings are flying troopers, and they are strong against [[Spiny|Spinies]] and weak against [[Captain Shy Guy (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Shy Guy]].
