Sorry, I was in a hurry when I wrote that... I mean the ones in the MK games, the ones that use poles to puul out the drivers. They seem to be Fishing Lakitu's, (particularly the one in SMK) but I want to make sure. - Ultimatetoad

No!That is not true!The Lakitu's That carry camera's are not normal lakitu's or fishin' lakitu's either they are Lakitu Bro.'s!--Super Eekie 64 11:43, 23 May 2011 (EDT)

Allies?

Are Lakitu allies? Most of the time they are neutral, some times they are enemies, and once they were allies. Does Lakitu fit under Allies because in SM64(DS), Lakitu is the one who warns Mario (Yoshi) about Bowser.Knife (talk) 23:24, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

I guess.. Is the category there? 3D, I need to edit more.

Nope. But does that mean I remove the enemies cat and replace it with Allies or do I put both?Knife (talk) 23:27, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

I'd put the Allies one in, and leave the rest as is. 3D, w0t evah.

Gender

The Super Paper Mario Catch Card clearly says "it" and not "he". Yet, in Paper Mario, Lakilester was male and Lakilulu was female. Do Lakitus generally have a set gender? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 09:36, 30 March 2008 (EDT)

I'm not sure if you're refering to a specific part of the article, but here's the deal. When talking about an animal, say, in the wild, some people prefer to use it. It's more professional, apparently, and it doesn't matter if you know the gender of the specific critter in question. You could have a report on a female black widow spider and both he and it would be acceptable. If you have something like a specific dog, though, people sometimes prefer to use use he or she because of endearment. So, we have evidence of there being male and female Lakitus, but Nintendo of America's translation team talks about 'em generally, so they use "it". I don't think there's anything more to it than that. Stumpers! 19:45, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

Well,sometimes I guess,Nintendo can be wrong.Lakitus are Koopas,and have to have a gender.Ninja Yoshi

That's a good attitude to take. All too often on this Wiki we act like Nintendo is a god or something. I don't think a mistake on a trophy/card changes anything (ie we shouldn't assume that Daisy was in Mario Golf's storyline even though she wasn't in the game). Stumpers! 19:51, 12 April 2008 (EDT)

Most generic Lakitus seem to be male, but Lakilulu is obviously female... The have to have a gender, I guess female Koopas don't have to serve in the army, as there are no distinctly female enemies in most of the games. (Wendy O. aside.) (Yes, that's a generalization, and you are free to find exceptions.)

Think this should be moved to the forums? Big-bang 17:57, 17 August 2008 (EDT)

Awkward Quote

"Or have coffee. with cream" isn't the most amazing quote ever. Should we change it? Master Koopakid

• Of course we should. The most famous quote that he did is the one from the Mario Kart series. --Reddragon19k 10:00, 20 February 2011 (EST)
