[[Kamek]], a lead Magikoopa, appears primarily in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]. He is usually the main villain or assistant to the main villain. Kamek is the only Magikoopa that appears in the ''Yoshi'' games. Lone Magikoopas appearing in other games are often said to be Kamek. Occasionally, 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]]''. | |||

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. | The magic blasts come in the forms of shapes: a circle, a triangle, and a rectangle.

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 In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', this unique palette has been replaced by the regular blue palette, and as such is mapped correctly.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. | A single Magikoopa appears in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'' as the boss of [[Cornice Cave]].

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' | In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', several Magikoopas make a brief appearance at [[Rose Way]] and [[Moleville]] as minions of Bowser. However, the Magikoopas, along with the remaining members of the [[Koopa Troop]], 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]]. | ||
