Creating a Lakitu enemy

Hello, I'm currently making a SMB clone in C2 and I'm currently trying to make a Lakitu-like enemy, but I'm having a bit of trouble making it.

I've compared Mario's X to Lakitu's X to make Lakitu follow him around. It works, but in the real Super Mario Bros, Lakitu moves around the screen a lot. I am wondering if there's any way to make Lakitu hover around Mario but also move around at the same time.

To make the enemy to follow your player more naturally (with inertia), you can use 8-Direction behavior:

To me it looks like Lakitu doesn't exactly follow Mario; it just stays on the screen.

When Mario hasn't moved far enough to shift the camera, the Lakitu just moves left and right at a slow rate. But when the camera is shifting to follow Mario, Lakitu's left/right movements speed up at a rate proportional to the camera movement speed. And when it reaches the right side of the screen, it stays there if the camera is still moving.
