'''Kammy Koopa''' is a high-ranking [[ | '''Kammy Koopa''' is a [[Magikoopa]] and a high-ranking member of the [[Koopa Troop]] and apparently [[Bowser]]'s right-hand woman, being described as the "brains behind Bowser." She appears in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the secondary antagonist, and in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]] as a minor villain. Her name is a pun on "[[Kamek]]" and the feminine given name "Cammy." | ||

Kammy Koopa first appeared in ''Paper Mario'' | Kammy Koopa first appeared in ''Paper Mario'' as the secondary antagonist. The game's introduction video reveals that she attacked [[Star Haven]] alongside Bowser and helped him steal the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] and entrap the seven [[Star Spirits]]. Kammy later appeared alongside Bowser when he hijacked [[Peach's Castle]] and invaded, and stood on the sidelines as Bowser pummeled [[Mario]] in battle with the use of the Star Rod. When Mario was defeated by Bowser and blasted out a nearby window, Kammy congratulated him and had two [[Koopatrol]] guards capture [[Princess Peach]]. | ||
When Kammy discovered that Mario had survived his battle with Bowser and the fall from the airborne Princess Peach's Castle and was now in [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]], she tried to impede his progress. Summoning a [[Yellow Block]], Kammy Koopa dropped it on the gate leading out of Goomba Village, thinking Mario would be unable to pass it and reach the nearby [[Toad Town]]. Kammy Koopa's assumption proved wrong, as Mario managed to smash this Yellow Block using a [[Hammer]] and also defeated the [[Goomboss|Goomba King]]. Seeing Mario do this, Kammy left the scene to inform Bowser of Mario's progress. | |||
Kammy Koopa also appears in the various Princess Peach intermissions of ''Paper Mario'', usually to alert Bowser of Mario's progress and other related information. After Mario defeated [[Tubba Blubba]], Kammy informed Bowser of this and reassured him that with the Star Rod, he was unstoppable. Princess Peach happened to intrude on this conversation between Bowser and Kammy, and, instead of being taken back to her room right away, was asked by Bowser a series of questions relating to what Mario feared. After Princess Peach answered these questions, the answers of which varied between monsters and helpful items, Bowser had Kammy Koopa, who doubted that Princess Peach honestly answered Bowser's questions, venture to the [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]] and use her magic to summon what Princess Peach said Mario feared to guard several treasures the [[Shy Guy]]s had stolen. | |||
Later, after Princess Peach managed to blend into Bowser's forces, using a [[Clubba]] disguise conjured by her [[Sneaky Parasol]], she managed to almost reach the top of her castle, where Kammy was apparently working on some top secret project. Exiting a nearby tower, Kammy Koopa exclaimed that her project was complete and began to leave, only to stop and congratulate the disguised Princess Peach on doing a good guarding job. As she was praising Princess Peach, Kammy Koopa, realizing that the Clubba she was talking to smelled too pleasant, used her magic to destroy Princess Peach's disguise; Kammy Koopa then had two nearby Koopatrol guards take Princess Peach back to her room. When the [[Crystal King]] was defeated and [[Kalmar]] was rescued, Kammy informed Bowser of this, and had all of Bowser's guards get ready for Mario's impending arrival. | |||
When Mario | When Mario reached the top of Princess Peach's Castle and prepared to fight Bowser, Kammy enhanced the power of her boss to extreme levels using her aforementioned secret project, [[Power Platform|a flying arena]]. As Bowser battled Mario, [[Twink]] appeared and, planning to free Princess Peach, battled Kammy Koopa. At first, Kammy outmatched Twink completely, but as their battle waged on, Twink grew stronger due to the wishes of Princess Peach. Her only attack during this fight is to throw Yellow Blocks at Twink and Peach. Eventually, Kammy Koopa found herself unable to harm Twink and was eventually knocked unconscious by him. When Bowser was defeated by Mario, Kammy's arena started to malfunction. When Bowser was asking her what was going on, Kammy reluctantly informed Bowser that, because of the intensity of his fight with Mario, the platform's energy was overloading, which also caused a chain reaction leading back to the castle, meaning both were about to explode. Before Bowser could give the evacuation order, Kammy and Bowser were caught in one of the explosions, flinging them to parts unknown and destroying [[Bowser's Castle]] in the process. | ||
Kammy survived this explosion | Kammy Koopa evidently survived this explosion, as she can be seen in the ending parade of ''Paper Mario'', engaged in a magical duel with [[Jr. Troopa]]. After a wayward magical attack from the duel hits Bowser, both Kammy Koopa and Jr. Troopa are burnt by Bowser's fire breath. | ||

She is the one who informs Bowser of the [[Crystal Stars]] and Princess Peach's kidnapping by [[Sir Grodus]] (though she is not aware Grodus is the culprit). Kammy Koopa appears throughout the Bowser intermissions of the game, and was usually used for comic relief, such as getting in a fight with the [[Puni elder]] or going to [[Glitzville]] and coming back decorated in souvenirs. | ||
In | In [[Palace of Shadow]], it was the interruption of both Bowser and Kammy Koopa falling through the ceiling that stopped Sir Grodus from attacking Mario and murdering Princess Peach. After landing on Grodus, Bowser and Kammy engaged Mario and his [[partner]]s in battle and were defeated and fell on the floor of the Palace of Shadow unconscious. If the player leaves and reenters the room, both she and Bowser will disappear. They never appear again for the rest of the game. | ||
