Lakitu, known as Jugemu (ジュゲム) in Japanese, is a recurring enemy in the Super Mario series. They are Koopas that typically ride on a cloud, tossing Spiny Eggs below. Lakitus have a green shell, yellow body, thick black-framed glasses, and three strands of hair. Their main attack is throwing Spiny Eggs, which hatch into spiky Koopas called Spinies. In some games, players can briefly ride Lakitu's cloud after defeating it. Besides being an enemy, Lakitus also appear in various roles, such as referees in the Mario Kart series and cameramen in Super Mario 64. Different variants of Lakitu exist, like Wall Lakitus, Dark Lakitus, and Thunder Lakitus, each with distinct behaviors and appearances. In certain games, they can also throw coins or other items.
