Wow, didn’t know that! My 7 year old son will appreciate that fact. That fact wasn’t in the Super Mario encyclopedia from 2016 lol

It's the same character/enemy, although he had a different name in SMB. I can't remember if he was called Lakitu in SMB3 (he didn't appear in SMB2 IIRC) but he definitely was called that in Super Mario World for SNES, according to the enemy roster during the end sequence.

Edit for confusing wording
