'''Magikoopas''' (referred to as '''Kameks''' in Japanese, certain English localizations, and European languages, and also referred to as '''Koopa wizards'''<ref>{{cite|quote=He sells them TV sets to watch at home... but each TV contains a '''Koopa wizard''' that casts an evil spell over them!|title=''[[Koopa's Stone Age Quests]]'' back cover}}</ref> in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]]) are bespectacled [[Koopa (species)|Koopas]] that can cast spells. Magikoopas made their debut in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They wear blue robes and hats resembling the garb of a wizard. They are generally considered to be high-ranking members of [[Bowser's Minions]], and some act as personal advisors for [[Bowser]].

[[Kamek]], a lead Magikoopa, first appears in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]] as the caretaker of Bowser. He is usually the main villain or assistant to the main villain, and the only Magikoopa that appears in the ''Yoshi'' games. Occasionally, there is some confusion on whether a Kamek is actually intended to be the character in question, but is called plain "Magikoopa" due to the fact that "Kamek" is also the generic name for the species in Japanese. An example of this is ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', where Kamek is called by name in the British English localization but is called "Magikoopa" in the American English localization. However, this also works in reverse, with generic Magikoopas occasionally called Kameks in some British English versions, such as in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. Despite the inconsistency, Kamek's role in games such as ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'' set him apart from generic Magikoopas.

The magic blasts come in the forms of shapes: a circle, a triangle, and a rectangle. These magic spells hurt Mario if he touches them; however, he can safely [[Spin Jump]] off of them. It is also possible to cancel out the spell with a cape spin. The circle, triangle, and rectangle have become recurring elements in spells cast by Magikoopas in later games, as well as the [[Koopalings]] starting in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Magikoopas are immune to [[Fire Flower|fireballs]]. If one is defeated, another replaces it shortly afterward.

Along with the [[Chargin' Chuck]], the Magikoopas seemed to have replaced [[Hammer Bro]]s. as the elite forces of [[Bowser's Minions|Bowser's Krazy Koopa Kritters]] in this game. Magikoopas have a unique palette from other enemies in this game, with more yellow skin and a darker blue than other blue enemies. However, the palette is arranged incorrectly, causing the darkest shade of blue to display where the lightest should. In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', this unique palette has been replaced by the regular blue palette, and as such is mapped correctly.

A single Magikoopa appears in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'' as the boss of [[Cornice Cave]]. This Magikoopa attacks Mario and [[Yoshi]] by teleporting around and shooting magic blasts; he can be defeated by being blasted in the face repeatedly with Mario's [[Super Scope]]. Mid-battle, he also makes himself [[Big Magikoopa|larger]] and therefore more powerful, although the target of his face is also widened, making the remaining half of the fight somewhat easier.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], several Magikoopas make a brief appearance at [[Rose Way]] and [[Moleville]] as minions of Bowser. However, the Magikoopas, along with the remaining members of [[Bowser's Minions]], have difficulty combating the [[Smithy Gang]] and are eventually nowhere to be seen when Bowser is met at [[Booster Tower]]. [[Wizakoopa]] is the one in the lead, and is later encountered in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]].
