| | '''Kamella''' is a boss character that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. She looks similar to a [[Magikoopa]] wearing a purple robe. Her appearance is reminescent of [[Kammy Koopa]] from the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' series. She is first fought in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]] and is encountered again in the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. |

| '''Kamella''' is a [[List of bosses|boss]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. She is a giant [[Magikoopa]] fought in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]] and is encountered two more times in the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. Kamella wears purple clothing instead of blue, not unlike [[Kammy Koopa]] from the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]], though hers consists of a flowing robe and long pointy hat. She also has light-blue claw polish, green lipstick, and a red jewel on the center of her chest. One minor difference between her and other Magikoopas is that her fangs point upward, while other Magikoopas' point down. Her legs are not seen. She also wields a [[magic wand]] that houses a [[Power Star]] in its orb. | |

| [[File:Kamellaappears.png|thumb|200px|Kamella's first appearance in the Space Junk Galaxy]]
| | Kamella, like all Magikoopas, is a Koopa wearing a flowing robe and wizard hat. She generally alternates between shooting fireballs and [[Koopa shell]]s at [[Mario]]. She also has the ability to summon other Magikoopas to her aid. |
| Kamella generally alternates between shooting [[fireball]]s and [[Green Shell]]s at [[Mario]]. She also has the ability to summon other Magikoopas to her aid. To defeat Kamella, Mario must grab the Green Shells she summons and toss them back at her. As she takes damage, her attacks become increasingly dangerous (for instance, she begins firing multiple fireballs at once). When Kamella uses her scepter to throw fireballs or shells, fireballs appear as a red-orange streak and a shell as a green one. Kamella starts the fight outside the boundaries of the ship. Mario must simply throw the shell to hit her. Once hit, she moves onto the ship. The player then has to [[jump]] and throw the shell to hit her, since she floats above the deck of the ship. If the player does this successfully, the shell hits her the second time. Kamella then stays in her position above the deck of the ship and summons two Magikoopas to her aid.

|
| By using the [[spin|Star-Spin]], it is possible to grab nearby shells much more easily, even if they are moving, and even if they have not formed yet—the Star-Spin successfully takes the shell if used next to one of Kamella's green spells. This tactic makes the battle much easier, as the player does not have to wait for the shells to stop moving before collecting them.

| | ==Combat== |
| The Magikoopas disappear and reappear when Kamella is injured. If the player injures her correctly, she hurtles into space, dropping her scepter that has the Power Star inside it. The scepter shatters, exposing the Power Star for the player to collect.
| | One of the ways to defeat Kamella is to grab the Koopa shells she summons and toss them back at her. If she is hovering in an easily accessible place, a [[Star Spin]] will also cause her damage. As she takes damage her attacks become increasingly dangerous (for instance, she begins firing multiple fireballs at once). |

|
| Kamella later appears two more times in the Deep Dark Galaxy, once under normal conditions and once with a [[Prankster Comet#Daredevil Comet|Daredevil Comet]] surrounding the galaxy. In this fight, Kamella has the ability to turn into a white orb and teleport to random places on the ship on which she and Mario are fighting, and she requires four hits to defeat instead of three, making the fight more difficult. Kamella also creates a wall around the boundaries of the ship, meaning that Mario cannot jump off the ship. This wall stays intact until Kamella is once again defeated. The last two hits require the player to follow Kamella to the crow's nest of the ship. When she is defeated, Kamella vanishes and drops the wand, shattering the orb and releasing the Power Star for Mario to collect.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Kamella is the only boss in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' to have more than one entrance animation, as in the Space Junk Galaxy, she teleports into the arena with magic spirals appearing where she will appear, complete with a flashy (albeit harmless) burst of magic when she does, while in the Deep Dark Galaxy, she just flies in from a small glowing planetoid.
| |
| *Kamella's wand has a translucent texture over the orb to create a reflection. Extracting the texture shows it is the [[Nintendo GameCube]] logo.<ref>{{cite|author=MarioBrothBlog|url=x.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/1151663563494363137|title=In Super Mario Galaxy, Kamella's wand has a reflection not used by any other object in the game (left). Looking very closely at the orb, we can see it is actually reflecting the Nintendo GameCube logo (top right). Extracting the texture from the data confirms this (bottom right).|date=July 17, 2019|publisher=X|language=en|accessdate=August 6, 2024}}</ref>
