Lakitu

Lakitus are enemies in Super Mario 64. They are yellow turtles similar to Koopas but shaped differently that seemingly wear masks and a green striped shell. They also reside in a cloud, allowing them to fly. They attack by throwing Spinies at the player. They are defeated by being jumped on.

There are a special, friendly group of Lakitus called the Lakitu Bros. that record the player and take the place of the camera. They do not attack the player, and hold a camera. They can be seen in the Mirror Room. Near the beginning of the game, they give the players some tutorials.

Cloud Face
Found in the files of Super Mario 64 is a face with a white background that was supposed to appear on Lakitu's cloud that oddly does not appear in the game.
