'''Lakitu Bros.''' are [[Fishin' Lakitu]] brothers that are found in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and then re-appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. These characters have cameras hooked with their fishing poles instead of items.
One of the Lakitu Bros. first appears in the sky after [[Princess Peach]]'s message to Mario. It circles [[Princess Peach's Castle|Peach's Castle]], then approaches a nearby [[Warp Pipe]], from which [[Mario]] emerges, starting the adventure. The plumber attempts to head inside Peach's Castle but is stopped by another [[Lakitu]], who introduces himself and his partner as the Lakitu Bros. One of the Lakitu Bros. mentions that they are cameramen reporters and will film Mario throughout his adventure as he attempts to retrieve the [[Power Star]]s and rescue the princess.


One of the Lakitu Bros. first appeared in the sky after [[Princess Peach]]'s message to Mario. One Lakitu Bro. starts to fly around [[Princess Peach's Castle|Peach's Castle]], then when the Lakitu goes close to the [[Warp Pipe]] after that scene, [[Mario]] pops out from the Warp Pipe as the adventure starts. When attempts to go to the entrance to Peach's Castle, another [[Lakitu]] appears from the sky. The Lakitu introduces to Mario as the two Lakitus that the player sees are actually the Lakitu Bros.. One of the Lakitu Bros. mentioned that they are cameramen reporters and they attempt to film Mario and his adventure live as Mario attempts to get the [[Power Star]]s.
It is also mentioned that they will record Mario at a recommended angle, though this angle can be changed through the use of the C Buttons, pressing {{button|n64|Cup}} while stationary enables the player to enter first-person view, which can be negated by pressing {{button|n64|A}}, that camera modes can be toggled via the {{button|n64|R}} button, and that there are signs scattered in and around the castle that contain this information. Their explanation finished, one of the Lakitu Bros. leaves, and the other remains to record Mario's adventure.

One of the Lakitu Bros. mentioned that they will record at a recommend angle but they also mentioned that the player can change the camera angle by using the C Buttons. The characters also mentioned that they can't adjust the view as the player can look at the surroundings by pressing {{button|n64|Cup}} when Mario stops, then press {{button|n64|A}} to resume playing the adventure and switch camera modes with the {{button|n64|R}} button. Lastly, they mentioned about that there are signs that can tell the player these instructions. After the Lakitu Bros. tell the instructions of using the camera, one of the Lakitu Bros. leaves as the other Lakitu Bro. will continue to record Mario's adventure.


In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', the opening is different to the original. Shortly after Mario, [[Luigi]] and [[Wario]] go missing, [[Yoshi]] is seen sleeping on the castle grounds, and one of the Lakitu Bros. wakes him up and tells him that Mario hasn't returned yet. After hearing the news, when Yoshi couldn't enter the castle because the main entrance door is locked, the Lakitu Bro. reappears and tells him that a [[rabbit]] took the [[key]] and that Yoshi should find it. After catching the rabbit, Yoshi enters the castle.

After hearing the news, Yoshi tries to enter the castle, but the door is locked. As Yoshi turns around, the Lakitu Bro. reappears and tells him that a [[rabbit]] took the [[key]], and that Yoshi should find it. After catching the rabbit, Yoshi enters the castle.


When Mario enters [[Whomp's Fortress]] for the first time, the Lakitu Bros. don't appear but talked in as they mentioned that there is a update on Mario's adventure as Mario enters Whomp's Fortress. They mentioned that Mario will attempt to learn a special move on sneaking up enemies; the trick of using the special move is by walking very slowly near to the enemy as the enemy stays unnoticed from Mario. The Lakitu Bros. also mentioned that they told to Mario earlier techniques about using the camera. Also, if the player can't move the camera farther, a buzzer sound is played. Lastly, the Lakitu Bros. leave by message.
When Mario enters [[Whomp's Fortress]] for the first time, the Lakitu Bro. following him issues an update to Mario's adventure. From him, Mario learns that he can sneak up on sleeping enemies by moving slowly past them. The Lakitu Bro. then reiterates his instructions from earlier before leaving Mario to his task. The Lakitu Bro. stays with Mario for the remainder of his adventure and can be seen in the big mirror in the room that leads to [[Snowman's Land]].
