I hate to say it but those meme walk cycle animations kinda remind me of the M&L:SS battle animations

Lakitus only appear in three levels in SMB1, the first level they appear in is 4-1, this level is quite easy considering the bugged behavior they have that I mentioned here >>8239740. Just run, run like a nigger in an 1800s auction house. I stress because running is pretty much the "win" button for these enemies. If you can run (assuming you're playing the NA version anyway), you'll be okay. The second level Lakitus appear in is 6-1, 6-1 is relatively easy to run through, although you probably are small mario by this point in the game, and you need powerups. There are two powerups in this level and besides one pipe (which have piranha plants in every level except 1-1) there are no enemies other than lakitu and the spinies he throws. There are multiple "reach points" where you can jump on or shoot fireballs at Lakitu in 6-1. There's even a 1-up in this level, and it's not hidden (iirc) so you don't even have to collect all coins from the previous x-3 stage or warp or continue code there. Finally, there's 8-2, 8-2 is easy because there is a reach point at the beginning. If you're fast enough, you can jump on or throw fireballs at him before he can even throw a single spiny. Even if you don't kill him, he stops chasing you as soon as you pass the staircase iirc. So he's relatively easy to deal with. And there you go, a Certified Mario Autist's guide to fucking up Lakitu's day, and by extension Bowser's. I hope you enjoyed my ramblings and made sense of them.

Yeah, I'm guessing they were lazy or knew about the bug but still left it in because it's easier for us Amerishits. Although I'm pretty sure Lakitu behavior in All-Stars and Deluxe is the same in all regions. But I'm not 100% if that's true or not.

hello everyone! mario fact autist here, any games or characters in specific you guys would like to know more about? or any specific plot points, objects, really anything specific.
