Jugemu Lakitu, commonly known as Lakitu, is a recurring character in the Super Mario Brothers series. He is typically depicted as a turtle-like creature who hovers in the sky on a cloud, often dropping Spiny Eggs onto Mario and his friends. Jugemu Lakitu serves both as an enemy and, in some games, as a helpful guide or referee. His cloud-riding antics and unique design make him a memorable and sometimes challenging obstacle throughout the Mario franchise.
