“Please take care of Lakilester. He acts like he's really tough, but he's a bit of a pushover.”

—Lakilulu, Paper Mario

Lakilulu is the girlfriend of Lakilester in Paper Mario. She is a Lakitu who rides on a light-pink cloud.

History

Lakilulu is first seen intervening on behalf of Lakilester after Mario had defeated him, to stop Mario from inflicting any further damage. Lakilulu explains that Lakilester was following orders from his boss, Huff N. Puff, and asks Mario to forgive him. If Mario refuses, she will attack him with Spiny Eggs repeatedly until he changes his mind. Lakilester learns from Mario about his true intentions and agrees to join his party, so then Lakilulu flies away.

Lakilulu idles to the left of the Wise Wisterwood for the rest of Mario's adventure. However, she also writes a letter later on. Also, in the ending, both Lakilulu and Lakilester are among the attendees during a party at Peach's Castle.
