In Flower Fields, Mario and his team finds a Lakitu on the way to Cloudy Climb. He introduces himself by his nickname Spike, then attacks.

Lakilester tells Mario that he is working for Huff N. Puff and asks him why he is trying to save the world. No matter what he answers, Lakilester thinks Mario is cool and joins the party. By using his field ability, Mario can hop on his cloud and hover over certain surfaces, such as spikes and lava, without getting hurt. However, because Lakilester floats low over the ground, he cannot be used to cross gaps like Parakarry can.

Trivia
Lakilester's beta images, from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Super Paper Mario respectively.
- Originally, Lakilester was going to make an appearance in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, but he was removed along with most of the other partners from the original Paper Mario.
- Lakilester also has sprite data for Super Paper Mario, even though he never appeared in that game.
- Like the character Vivian from the sequel, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Lakilester is a partner who joins Mario after Mario defeats them, as well as abandoning the antagonists to do so.
- Lakilester wants to be stronger for his girlfriend, which is similar to the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door partner Koops.
- Though it is entirely possible to use Lakilester to travel over lava, he visibly struggles while doing so. He moves considerably slower and his cloud's expression changes to an angry frown.
- Lakilester is the only character other than Watt who can damage Bowser after he powers himself up with the Star Rod during the first round of the final battle. However, the two can only take away 1 HP each.
- Lakilester is a portmanteau of Lakitu and Lester, and is probably a pun on "lackluster".
- Carrie's ability from Super Paper Mario is extremely similar to his ability.
