Lakitus are one of the most iconic characters in the world of Super Mario that can be best described as:
...bespectacled Koopas who ride clouds through the skies. ...best known for tossing Spiny Eggs to Mario or Luigi below.

However, I have noticed that there seems to be several different pronunciations in use for their names.
For example:
- /läki:tu/ — law-kee-tu
- /lɐki:tu/ — luh-kee-tu (The one I use.)
- /lækɪ:tu-/— la-ki-tu (Commonly used on internet.)
- /lækiːtu/ — la-kee-tu
...just to name a few of the many possible combinations.
Is there any official consensus on how the name of these characters is pronounced?

Your name will be pronounced phonetically. Phonetic pronunciation of your first and last names is saying them as they sound, not as they are written. For example: David Baranowski (David Ba-ra-nof-ski)How do you pronounce Lakitu?

Answer 2
My friend used to pronounce it like 'luh-koo-too', though I have heard it as 'lah-ki-tu' (lah as in laugh). I myself have always pronounced his name 'lay-kit-oo'. (tho when I was little, I said lay-ki-choo, the 'ki' NOT sounding like 'key')
