Lakithundest[1] is a boss appearing in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. He is a large Lakitu that is fought in the Yoshi Star Galaxy in the mission Spiny Control. Lakithundest is the only boss whose name is not mentioned anywhere (dialogue or mission title) in the game. Lakithundest's battle theme is the same as the Mandibug Stack'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. He is voiced by Scott Burns.
Appearance
Lakithundest is a large Lakitu with a purple shell. He wears black glasses and a golden crown with red and blue gems. He also wears a red and white ruff around his neck. He rides in a purple cloud with yellow eyes which leaves a brief trail of purple smoke as it moves around. As he is attacked, he becomes angrier, eventually becoming furious. He turns red and smoke comes out of him, with his cloud looking angry instead of happy. Within the game's code, there is an unused texture of Lakithundest without his glasses.[2]
Lakithundest is similar to Lakithunder from New Super Mario Bros., another Lakitu boss who rides a cloud capable of shooting lightning bolts.
Battle
Lakithundest mainly attacks by throwing Spinies at Mario. Mario will need to use Yoshi for the battle. After Lakithundest throws a Spiny, Mario will need to use Yoshi to eat it. After the Spiny has been eaten, Yoshi will need to spit the enemy out at Lakithundest. After he is hit, Lakithundest will throw more Spinies, move at a faster pace, and unleash a new attack. He will go into the foreground and move around the stage, releasing lightning from underneath his cloud. This attack will instantly defeat Yoshi. After he is done with the attack, Lakithundest will continue throwing Spinies. After he is hit again, he will get angry and throw 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. Lakithundest can be stunned by shooting a Star Bit at him. Throughout the battle he will occasionally stop and laugh at the player, leaving him open to be attacked.
If the player leaves the arena while battling Lakithundest and waits for a few seconds, Lakithundest will take a nap until the player re-enters the arena.
