'''''Kung Fu Lakitu''''' is a film that appears as a sponsor in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The film is a reference to the 2008 DreamWorks film ''[[Wikipedia:Kung Fu Panda|Kung Fu Panda]]'', as the poster uses a similar name and font, and the [[Lakitu]] is in the same pose as Po on the original poster. The poster also says "[[Dragon Driftway]] the Movie", which is a course from the other [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|DLC pack]] that has a similar theme, and also features multiple statues of Lakitus practicing kung fu, similar to the image on the poster. The poster also says "Coming Spring 2015" referencing the release date of the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|second DLC pack]] in which it appeared. The main image on the poster depicts a Lakitu standing on its cloud performing a side kick, surrounded by flames in front of some mountains. The title is written in capital letters, using a red font with a gold outline at an angle, while the rest is written in a white font. It is advertised by means of posters. Coincidentally, [[Jack Black]], who voiced ''Kung Fu Panda''{{'}}s main character Po, would eventually go on to voice [[Bowser]] in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''. | '''''Kung Fu Lakitu''''' is a film that appears as a sponsor in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
