* NoSell: Since it's made of stars, star-based attacks, such as Skolar's Star Storm and the Shooting Star, have no effect on it.

* TurnsRed: Averted and downplayed. Averted: You don't have to deplete his HP during the battle, but when you see him turn red with anger, it is a warning that he's charging up for his lightning attacks, which deal 12 or 10 HP worth of damage. Downplayed: When his HP is at 5 or lower, he and his Tuff Puffs will perform an earthquake attack together, dealing 5-15 HP worth of damage.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She's so devoted to Lakilester, that if Mario [[RejectedApology refuses to forgive him]], Lakilulu will bash him in the face with a Spiny Egg.

* TheJinx: Even before Mario's accused of murdering him, Mayor Penguin states that he's always had a history of bringing trouble to others, even though he never intends to.

* BadBoss: They essentially enslaved the Bob-ombs living with them in the Fortress. According to the imprisoned Bob-ombs, the Koopa Bros. tried to work them 25 hours a day.

%%* SurferDude
%%* TotallyRadical: They speak like this.

** Tidal Wave is similar to Air Raid in that it hits all onscreen enemies unconditionally. However, its action command functions so that it deals 1 additional damage per correct 3 inputs. Hypothetically, this means its damage potential is limitless, depending on the amount of correct inputs (though technically, this is limited to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFbyI3XJNbg&ab_channel=Stryder 14 by the game engine.]] Practically, it averages around 6 damage, same as Air Raid). It still retains the +2 damage bonus against fire enemies though.

* ProudBeauty: Takes pride in her personal beauty and appearance, noting to Mario how appreciative he should be of it. Also invokes this in her cameo in ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', citing her desire to "turn some heads on the road" as a reason for her traveling to and vacationing in Poshley Heights.

* GenderEqualEnsemble: There are 4 male party members (Goombario, Kooper, Parakarry, and Lakilester) and four female party members (Bombette, Lady Bow, Watt[[note]]At first ambiguous given conflicting pronouns in her introductory text and Super Block upgrades, but eventually confirmed by WordOfGod[[/note]], and Sushie).

* NoSell: Her bomb abilities are completely nullified against Lee and Spike Tops if they are not flipped over.

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: How to identify her from the four other Duplighost impostors copying her in Chapter 7? She's the only one who ''doesn't'' [[OutOfCharacterAlert add hearts, stars, or unnecessary extra question marks, exclamation marks, or periods]] in her statement. She also has the least patience with the charade, is the first to demand he hammer the impostors, and tells Mario that [[ThisIsUnforgivable she will never forgive him if he messes it up]],

* DifficultButAwesome: Her Squirt ability, compared to Parakarry's similar Shell Shot, both of which deal the same max damage and can hit any enemy unconditionally. Squirt has a relatively strange action command of holding A, but NOT allowing the bar to fill up completely (unlike Electro Dash and Body Slam), instead keeping the gauge within a certain "sweet spot." Squirt still has two advantages though: First, Squirt will always deal at least 3 damage minus enemy defense (whereas Shell Shot deals [[AllOrNothing 0 if it misses]]). Second, it has +2 damage against fire enemies (of which there are plenty in Chapter 5 where she is obtained, including the chapter boss).

* MyBelovedSmother: According to her character tattle, the Yoshi kids she babysits see her as meddlesome and as trying to control their lives.

[[In General]]

* LongRangeFighter: Although not the only party member with a long-range attack, he's the only party member who has one as his ''default'' ability, Spiny Flip. This makes Lakilester the only party member (''including'' Mario) who can attack ''any'' enemy whatsoever (including spiked, fire, airborne, and ceiling-based enemies) at no FP cost.

* LongRangedFighter: Although not the only party member with a long-range attack, he's the only party member who has one as his ''default'' ability, Spiny Flip. This makes Lakilester the only party member (''including'' Mario) who can attack ''any'' enemy whatsoever (including spiked, fire, airborne, and ceiling-based enemies) at no FP cost.

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: How to identify her from the four other Duplighost impostors copying her in Chapter 7? She's the only one who ''doesn't'' [[OutOfCharacterAlert add hearts, stars, or unnecessary extra question marks, exclamation marks, or periods]] in her statement. She also has the least patience with the charade, outright threatening to bomb Mario if he gets it wrong, and demanding he quickly hammer the impostors.

* ThisLooksLikeAJobForAquaman: As mentioned above, her bomb abilities can OneHitKill certain enemies. They also deal +1 damage to fire enemies, are also the only way to permakill Dry Bones (besides fire attacks), and are the only way to flip over Clefts (besides Quake Hammer).
* {{Tsundere}}: Has shades of this in Chapter 7 when imitated by four Duplighosts. She's the only one to threaten Mario with violence if he gets it wrong, but rewards him with a kiss on the cheek if he successfully eliminates the impostors.

* IncendiaryExponent: His last attack sets his shell on fire before attacking. It's one of the few attacks that will put down a Dry Bones permanently.

* UselessUsefulSpell: Parakarry's Air Lift is easily the worst move in the entire game. It has no use other than moving a single target out of battle, with even less range than Bow's Spook.

* DifficultButAwesome: Her Squirt ability, compared to Parakarry's similar Shell Shot, both of which deal the same max damage and can hit any enemy unconditionally. Squirt has a relatively strange action command of holding A, but NOT allowing the bar to fill up completely (unlike Electro Dash and Body Slam), instead keeping the gauge within a certain "sweet spot." Squirt still has two advantages though: First, Squirt will always deal at least 3 damage (whereas Shell Shot deals [[AllOrNothing 0 if it misses]]). Second, it has +2 damage against fire enemies.

* MasterOfAll: Both she and Parakarry are very similar moveset wise (Belly Flop = Sky Dive, Squirt = Shell Shot, Tidal Wave = Air Raid.) All her moves also have the same FP cost as Parakarry's; as such she can do the same amount of damage and serve the same point of versatility as him. Water Block is also a nice defense option that actually has viable if niche usage (unlike [[UselessUsefulSpell Air Lift.) Unlike Parakarry though, her [[ElementalRockPaperScissors water abilities have bonuses against fire enemies and fire and explosion attacks]], giving her a slight advantage. Her only flaw is the slightly more complicated inputs to activate the full power of her moves, which makes Parakarry the more easily accessible one.

* ActionMom: One of the letters at the Postman's office in Toad Town reveal that she has a daughter. Not to mention she's downright dangerous in battles. In fact both she and Parakarry are very similar moveset wise (Squirt=Shell Shot, Tidal Wave=Air Raid, Belly Flop= Sky Dive) as such she can do the same amount of damage and serves the same point of versatility as him. Even Water Block is a nice defense option. The only flaw is the input to activate the full power of her moves, which makes Parakarry the easily accessible one. Still Sushie is amazing with Squirt, Water Block and Tidal Wave.
* BarrierWarrior: Her Water Block attack raises defense by 1 and increases with a fire attack.
* ElementalRockPaperScissors: Her water-based attacks are particularly strong against fire-based enemies and their own attacks.

* DiscOneNuke: Joins Mario as early as the first third of Chapter 2, and is a contender for best party member alongside Sushie. His innate Shell Shot ability already deals 5 damage, enough to one-shot most enemies, and unlike Bombette's Bomb, its action command is much easier and it can hit ''any'' enemy on-screen.
