Lakitu first appeared in Super Mario Bros. in 1985 as a cloud riding Koopa who drops Spiny eggs on the player. The character later became familiar as the Mario Kart race official who holds the start lights and rescues drivers, and as the camera operator in Super Mario 64. That long history of hovering near the action is why a Portuguese shout telling him to move works so well online. Brazilian players and editors share the clip as a quick reaction for blocks, traffic and on screen obstructions in gameplay videos.
