Blooming Lakitus | New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe | Walkthrough, No Commentary

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is a popular platformer game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch, released in January 2019. It is an enhanced port of the Wii U titles, combining classic Mario gameplay with modern features, including vibrant graphics, catchy music, and multiplayer options. The game offers a variety of levels across different worlds, each filled with enemies, power-ups, and challenging obstacles, aiming to entertain both longtime fans and newcomers. Within this colorful and dynamic game, Blooming Lakitus appears in the Level called Layer-Cake Desert-6, part of the desert-themed Layer-Cake Desert world. This level, also known as "Blooming Lakitus," is set in a sun-drenched desert environment with rolling hills, palm trees, and sandy terrain. It is unlocked after completing previous levels like Spike's Spouting Sands, and it leads to the next stage, Morton’s Compactor Castle. Additionally, it plays a role in the Nabbit chase sequence which begins after finishing Waterspout Beach. The level’s layout features a mixture of platforming challenges and enemy encounters. The terrain includes rolling hills inhabited by Piranha Plants, Koopa Troopas, and the key adversary—Lakitus—who add an aerial threat by throwing Piranha Plant Eggs from above. These eggs hatch into additional Piranha Plants when grounded, creating a layered challenge for players. The environment is dotted with hidden areas containing coins and power-ups, accessible via Note Blocks or special items like Ice Flowers or Mini Mushrooms, encouraging exploration. A distinctive feature of Blooming Lakitus is the placement of three Star Coins, each requiring skillful timing and strategic thinking to collect. The first Star Coin is located mid-air above brick structures, demanding precise jumps. The second is accessible via a Lakitu’s cloud, which players can seize to reach a pipe leading to the coin, while the third is guarded by a giant Piranha Plant amid moving platforms, requiring the use of Koopa Troopa shells to defeat the plant and retrieve the coin. Enemies such as Lakitus, Piranha Plants, and Koopa Troopas create a lively and hazardous environment. The Lakitus are especially notable for their ability to throw Piranha Plant Eggs, adding an aerial dimension to the enemy threats. To succeed, players must utilize power-ups like the Cloud, which can be commandeered from Lakitu, and employ careful timing and enemy manipulation. Overall, Blooming Lakitus offers a well-balanced blend of platforming, exploration, and enemy tactics, making it a memorable and challenging part of the Layer-Cake Desert world. Its engaging design emphasizes skillful jumping, strategic use of power-ups, and precise timing, reflecting the core fun and challenge that define the Mario franchise. More - New Super Mario Bros.
