Template:Redirectshere Template:GBoss-infobox Giga Lakitu (also referred to as King Lakitu) is a boss appearing in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. He is a Lakitu (possibly a Lakitu King) that is fought in the Yoshi Star Galaxy in the mission "Spiny Control".
Appearance
Giga Lakitu is an overweight Lakitu that has a blue shell and rides on a purple cloud. He has a yellow crown (which may indicate he's a king) and wears a pair of glasses along with a red and white ruff around his neck.
Strategy
Giga Lakitu mainly attacks by throwing Spinies at Mario. Mario will need to use Yoshi for the battle. Luckily, there is a Yoshi Egg in the area. After Giga Lakitu throws a Spiny, Mario will need to use Yoshi to eat it. After the Spiny has been eaten, Yoshi will need to spit out the enemy at Giga Lakitu. After he is hit, Giga Lakitu will throw even more Spinies and move at a faster pace. After Giga Lakitu is hit again, he will unleash a new attack. He will grow bigger and move around the stage, releasing lightning from underneath his cloud. This attack will instantly defeat Yoshi. After he is done with the attack, Giga Lakitu will continue throwing even more Spinies. After he is hit once more, he will be knocked back and fall through his cloud. Mario is granted the Power Star after this. Giga Lakitu can be stunned by shooting a star bit at him. He will also sometimes stop and laugh at the player, leaving him open to be attacked by the player.
