Lakitu

Lakitu is a turtle who rides in a cloud and a common foe in the Super Mario Bros. franchise. He is easily one of the most annoying enemies in the entire franchise, and his status as one of the most common enemies in the franchise only makes him even more so.

He often appears to antagonise Mario / Luigi by throwing an endless quantity of Spiny Eggs to the ground, which hatch into Spinies, which— much to the player's anger— cannot be stomped on and will hurt Mario / Luigi if he attempts to do so. Lakitu himself can be killed with a stomp, a fireball, or any other means of attack, but will always return after a short period of time to continue to make the player's life miserable. The only way to permanently dispose of him is to complete the level.
