In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its remake]], the first two Lakitus seen in this game are the friendly [[Lakitu Bros.]], one of whom fills the role of the game's camera; they help Mario toward the beginning of the game, give him hints in [[Whomp's Fortress]], and film his entire adventure. Using {{button|n64|c}}, the player can control Lakitu's position and thereby change the camera angle. The cameraman Lakitu can be seen in the introduction and the end credits, and can also be seen via reflections, such as in the room containing the entrance to [[Snowman's Land]].

Lakitus also appear as actual enemies in courses such as [[Tiny-Huge Island]] and [[Rainbow Ride]], where they float and drop Spinies on Mario. Defeating these Lakitus rewards Mario with five [[coin]]s. If they are spawned but do not see Mario, they float around in wide, fast circles. In the former area, it is possible to make Lakitu fly low enough that its cloud is under the water, though this does not affect its behavior. In the DS remake, the [[Goomboss Battle]] stage has one Lakitu enemy, and the new level, [[Sunshine Isles]], has two Lakitus in it. They no longer move in their wide, fast patterns, instead following the player at a more steady pace, while slowly moving in a small circle if they do not see them. If [[Yoshi]] eats one and spits it out, it spins out while constantly moving in the direction it is spit, though unlike many enemies, it recovers. Yoshi is also capable of turning Lakitus into [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s.

In the original game, Lakitu's Cloud is a simple 2D texture and lacks a face, while the remake gives the cloud the appearance it usually has.
