A '''Thunder Lakitu'''<ref>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. [[media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|Page 128]].</ref> is a [[Lakitu]] that shoots out a ball of energy, setting the ground on fire. This fire moves out in a disappearing wave shape. They make their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' in the [[level]], [[BLIZZARD!!!]]. These pink Lakitus make a loud noise and the screen flashes when they attack, so the player can detect when they are about to attack. Thunder Lakitus reappear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', where they are only found in the level [[Bandit Valley]].

====''Yoshi's New Island''====
Thunder Lakitus reappear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', where they are only found in the level [[Bandit Valley]]. Their design has been updated to better resemble modern Lakitus, though they keep their pink coloration.
 
===''Mario Power Tennis''===
In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', there is a Thunder Lakitu in the [[DK Jungle Court]], and it has the skin and shell of a normal Lakitu. The Thunder Lakitu is able to clear the field from [[Klaptrap]]s, by burning them with lightning bolts in the gimmick courts mode.

*In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' (which predated the existence of Thunder Lakitus by 9 years), a Lakitu uses several weather-based features from his [[Lakitu's Cloud|cloud]] to wake up his [[Spiny Egg|Spiny's egg]]s. When he uses lightning, his cloud gains a Raijin-like set of drums, giving him a noticeable resemblance to a Thunder Lakitu.
