I realized that when a lakitu holds a spiny, the held spiny's position only updates when the lakitu is rendered on screen. Consequently, we can have the spiny desync from the lakitu and remain suspended in the air if the lakitu moves off screen while holding the spiny, as shown in this video. However, the spiny goes back to its usual location in lakitu's hands once the lakitu comes back on screen. So this is very similar to the HOLP updating in Mario's hands and the chuckya anchor updating in chuckya's hands. I don't think this is useful for anything, but definitely worth documenting.
