The '''Lakitu trio''' is an enemy in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', consisting of three normal [[Lakitu]]s riding in an enlarged [[Lakitu's Cloud]], which fly around in the background of the level while throwing various objects towards the player. As they are in the background, they cannot be defeated.


The '''Lakitu trio''' is an enemy spawned during two [[Wonder Effect]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. It appears to be three normal [[Lakitu]]s riding in an enlarged [[Lakitu's Cloud]] which fly around in the background of the level while throwing various objects towards the player.
They first appear in the [[Wonder Effect]] in [[Cruising with Linking Lifts]], where they throw [[coin]]s in a similar fashion to a [[Gold Lakitu]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', along with [[flower coin]]s and five [[Wonder Token]]s that spawn the [[Wonder Seed]] once collected. When said seed is touched, the Lakitu trio disappears in a puff of smoke. The idea of dropping beneficial items is built up throughout the level through [[Condrop]]s.

The first appearance of the Lakitu trio is in ''[[Super Mario Bros.

In both appearances, it flies in after the [[Wonder Flower]] is collected and floats in the background while throwing items. Said items rain down upon the level, but change between its two appearances. When it is first encountered in [[Fluff-Puff Peaks]], it throws [[Coin]]s in a similar fashion to a [[Gold Lakitu]] from [[New Super Mario Bros. 2]], along with [[Purple Coin]]s and five [[Wonder Token]]s that spawn the [[Wonder Seed]] once collected. When said seed is touched, the Lakitu trio disappears in a puff of smoke. The idea of dropping beneficial items is built up throughout the level through [[Condrop]]s.
 
However, its function is changed drastically in [[Shining Falls]]' special world level. It is one of two events that occurs during the Wonder Effect, the other being the ability to walk on walls. The Lakitu Trio serves mainly as a detriment, throwing the [[Spike Ball]]s seen in [[Rolling-Ball Hall]]. The player occasionally must direct their ammo into breakable blocks which obstruct their path, which can prove dangerous.

If an acceptable name is found, then the article should be moved to the new title.

This article is about the triple variant of Lakitu seen in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. For the level in New Super Mario Bros. U that features three Lakitus appearing at once, see Lakitu! Lakitu! Lakitu!

The Lakitu trio is an enemy in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, consisting of three normal Lakitus riding in an enlarged Lakitu's Cloud, which fly around in the background of the level while throwing various objects towards the player. As they are in the background, they cannot be defeated.

They first appear in the Wonder Effect in Cruising with Linking Lifts, where they throw coins in a similar fashion to a Gold Lakitu from New Super Mario Bros. 2, along with flower coins and five Wonder Tokens that spawn the Wonder Seed once collected. When said seed is touched, the Lakitu trio disappears in a puff of smoke. The idea of dropping beneficial items is built up throughout the level through Condrops.

Their function is changed drastically in their second and final appearance, Shining Falls Special Triple Threat Deluge. Here, the Lakitu trio appears during the entire course, and serves mainly as a detriment, throwing the golden Spike Balls seen in Rolling-Ball Hall. The player occasionally must direct their attacks into breakable blocks which obstruct their path.

The music that plays in their first appearance is "Medley-Mix Wonder", while their second appearance plays "Stretchy-Shadow Wonder".
