The Lakitu trio is an enemy consisting of three normal Lakitus riding in an enlarged Lakitu's Cloud, which fly around in the background of the level while throwing various objects towards the player. They appear exclusively during Wonder Effects in two courses from Super Mario Bros. Wonder. In both appearances, they fly in after the Wonder Flower is collected and float in the background while throwing items.
Their first appearance is in Cruising with Linking Lifts, where they throw coins in a similar fashion to a Gold Lakitu from New Super Mario Bros. 2, along with flower coins and five Wonder Tokens that spawn the Wonder Seed once collected. When said seed is touched, the Lakitu trio disappears in a puff of smoke. The idea of dropping beneficial items is built up throughout the level through Condrops.
Their function is changed drastically in Shining Falls Special Triple Threat Deluge. They are one of two events that occurs during the Wonder Effect, the other being the ability to walk on walls. The Lakitu Trio serves mainly as a detriment, throwing the golden Spike Balls seen in Rolling-Ball Hall. The player occasionally must direct their attacks into breakable blocks which obstruct their path.
The music that plays in their first appearance is "Medley-Mix Wonder", while their second appearance plays "Stretchy-Shadow Wonder".
