Like the [[Excitebike]], The Lakitu appears in its original 8-bit form in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]] When the Lakitu appears, it flies around and drops 8-bit spinys on the ground.
'''Lakitu''', known in the Japanese version as '''Jugem''' (ジュゲム, ''Jugemu''), is a character in the [[Mario (Universe)|Mario series of video games]] from [[Nintendo]].  He is typically depicted as a turtle-like creature (a [[Koopa]] in Mario terms) with a green shell, orange or yellow body, and thick, black glasses. He usually rides in a cloud with a smiling face (known as Jugem's Cloud). The name Lakitu is also used for an entire type of Koopas, most of whom fly about in this fashion.
 
Lakitu is one of the few Mario enemies to have appeared in the series from the beginning. This puts Lakitu into the same pantheon as foes such as [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Piranha Plant]]s. However, unlike most of these other enemy characters, Lakitu has not changed a great deal from one game to the next.
 
In his role as an enemy character, Lakitu typically flies about and throws spiked eggs at Mario, although variant types employ other attack patterns. Lakitu appears in a number of games as a figure neutral to Mario. Lakitu features in a handful of non-Mario games and media such as comic books and animated cartoons.

In ''[[SSBB]]'', a Lakitu appears as an [[Assist Trophy]] helper. He drops [[Spiny|Spinies]] from the sky, and appears in his original sprite form.
