Editing Spiny Control

{{mission infobox

|location=[[Yoshi Star Galaxy]]

|number=2

The player starts on the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]] like with the [[Saddle Up with Yoshi|last mission]], though there are many Spinies and [[Lakitu]]s in the field. There are also cages that can be broken by eating a Spiny and firing it at one. One of these cages contains a [[Launch Star]], which will send the player to the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy#Spiny Shooting Planet|Spiny Shooting Planet]]. On this planet, the player needs to fire a Spiny at a caged [[Luma]] to rescue it and have it transform into a Launch Star for the player. The Launch Star will send the player through another Launch Star they can use to reach an optional [[Yoshi Star Galaxy#Orbiting Planetoids|group of planetoids]] with many [[Coin]]s and [[fruit (Yoshi food)|fruits]]. The Launch Stars on both planets will both lead to the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy#Marble Block Planet|Marble Block Planet]], where the player has to pull out a few wooden platforms and use a Spiny to break open a cage that contains the Launch Star, which will send the player to the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy#King Lakitu Planet|planet where King Lakitu is fought]].

When the player enters the main arena, King Lakitu will come out of the storm clouds surrounding the planet and will begin attacking the player by throwing Spinies at them. The player has to use Yoshi to eat a Spiny and then spit it back out at King Lakitu, who is constantly moving around the arena. After hitting him, King Lakitu will hover over the arena and shoot out lightning below him, which will damage [[Mario]] if it connects. Additionally, King Lakitu is invincible when he is shooting lightning and the lightning will destroy any Spinies it comes into contact with. Afterward, King Lakitu will send out two Spinies at a time and resume moving around the arena. Hitting him again will cause him to get angry and throw four Spinies onto the field, then shoot down lightning again as he moves over the arena. Firing the third Spiny at King Lakitu will defeat him and reward the player with the [[Power Star]].
