(Added a quote from the Super Mario Kart game manual. I feel this perfectly represents the character very well and serves a good introduction.) |

'''Lakitu''' is a character appearing in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, guiding the race most of the time. He most prominently appears as the referee, holding a starting light with a fishing pole that tells the drivers when the race begins (except in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''), and signals the drivers what lap or section they are currently on or in (appearing on the left/right side of the player, depending on the race’s final turn to the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]] since ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''). Another role he has is signaling the players if they are driving the wrong way. If the driver crosses the finish line at the end of the race, then Lakitu comes in, waving the checkered flag. | '''Lakitu''' is a character appearing in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, guiding the race most of the time.
