- “My name is Lakilester... Er, no, it's Michael... No, um... Oh yeah... Spike. Yeah yeah, I'm Spike... Well whatever. Never mind.”
- —Lakilester, Paper Mario
Lakilester (self-nicknamed Michael, Spike and Jonathan (Japanese version only)) is Mario's eighth and last party member in Paper Mario. In Super Paper Mario, Lakilester appears as a Catch Card found on the ninetieth floor of the Flopside Pit of 100 Trials.
History
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. 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. 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.

Trivia
- 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 could damage Bowser after he powers himself up with the Star Rod during the first round of the final battle. However, they can only take away 1 HP.
- 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.
