Trivia
- King Lakitu is the only boss whose name is not mentioned anywhere (dialogue or mission title) in the game.
- King Lakitu's battle theme is the same as the Stink Bug Parent's and Boulder Bowl Galaxy's "Rolling Crabber Romp" mission's theme. Overall, this theme is a variation of Baron Brrr's and the Deep Dark Galaxy Undergrunt Gunner's theme from Super Mario Galaxy.
- If the player leaves the arena while battling King Lakitu and waits for a few seconds, King Lakitu will take a nap until the player reenters the arena. This can also be used as another strategy, leaving him immobile and an easier target if Yoshi has a Spiny in his mouth.
- Within the game's code, there is an unused texture of King Lakitu without his glasses.[2]
- King Lakitu is similar to Lakithunder, another Lakitu boss who rides a cloud capable of shooting lightning bolts.
