'''Lakilester''' (self-nicknamed '''Michael''' and '''Spike''') is a [[Lakitu]] who is the eighth and last party member to join [[Mario]]'s party in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Lakilester is a portmanteau of "Lakitu" and "Lester", and is probably a pun on "lackluster". Lakilester joins Mario's team after he is defeated by the plumber, as well as abandoning the antagonists to do so. This trait is later carried on with [[Vivian]] from the sequel, ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. His appearance is no different than an ordinary Lakitu, besides sporting a pair of shades and having more hair than an ordinary Lakitu's 3-lined hair. Lakilester also has a habit of saying "man" to try and sound "cool". | '''Lakilester''' (self-nicknamed '''Michael''' and '''Spike''') is a [[Lakitu]] who is the eighth and last party member to join [[Mario]]'s party in ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

Lakilester is a supporting character in ''Paper Mario''. In [[Flower Fields]], after talking with the [[sun]] in his tower, Mario and his team find a [[Lakitu]] on the way to [[Cloudy Climb]]. He introduces himself by his nickname Michael, then Spike, then attacks. After he is defeated, a female Lakitu named [[Lakilulu]] comes and asks Mario not to finish Lakilester. Lakilester is annoyed and asks Lakilulu to call him Spike because it's his new name. 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. Lakilester wants to be stronger for his girlfriend, which is similar to [[Koops]] in the sequel. By using his field ability, Mario can hop on his cloud and move much quicker. He can also hover over certain surfaces, such as [[Spike (obstacle)|spikes]] and [[lava]], without getting hurt. 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. However, because Lakilester floats low over the ground, he cannot be used to cross gaps like [[Parakarry]] can. | |||

No matter what he answers, Lakilester thinks Mario is cool and joins the party. Lakilester wants to be stronger for his girlfriend, which is similar to Koops in the sequel.
