'''Lakilulu''' is the girlfriend of [[Lakilester]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. She is a [[Lakitu]] who rides on a light-pink cloud.


'''Lakilulu''' is a female Lakitu and Lakilester's girlfriend in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. At first, she and Lakilester (mostly Lakilester) are working for [[Huff N. Puff]], and, as such, are minions of [[King Bowser]]. Following [[Mario]]'s defeat of Lakilester (known as "Spike?" during the fight), Lakilulu stops Mario from doing anything else.  Lakilester informs her that Mario must finish him off for good, for to the victor goes the spoils.  She threatens to harm Mario if he hurts her boyfriend more.  After Mario describes his true intentions, the rebellious Lakitu decides to join Mario's party. Lakilulu has a bit of a mean streak, especially if things don't go her way, as evidenced when she threatens to bop Mario with a [[Spiny Egg]] if the [[plumber]] doesn't forgive her boyfriend. Her name is a portmanteau of the female name Lulu and the being Lakitu.
