'''Magikoopas''' (referred to as '''Kameks''' in Japanese and certain English localizations, and also referred to as '''Koopa Wizards''' 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 the [[Koopa Troop]], and some act as personal advisors for [[Bowser]].

[[Kamek]], a lead Magikoopa, appears in several installments of the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]]. 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 PAL region but is called "Magikoopa" in the North American version. However, this also works in reverse, meaning that Kamek in said British English versions is a generic Magikoopa, as seen in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:SMW Art - Magikoopa.png|thumb|120px|left|A Magikoopa's artwork in ''Super Mario World''.]]
[[File:Kamekwand.gif|frame]]
Magikoopas first appear as enemies in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. In this game they mainly appear in fortresses and castles, where they pop out of thin-air and shoot magic at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Their magic blasts have the power to turn a [[Rotating Block]] into a yellow [[Koopa Troopa]]. 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]].

Along with the [[Chargin' Chuck]], the Magikoopas seemed to have replaced [[Hammer Bro]]s. as the elite forces of the [[Koopa Troop]] 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 Advance 2: Super Mario World]]'', this unique palette has been replaced by the regular blue palette, and as such is mapped correctly. 
{{br}}

====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====
[[File:KamekSW2YI.png|thumb|Kamek in [[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]] artwork]]
Despite the fact that they do not appear as normal enemies in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', this game marks the debut of their leader [[Kamek]], who is the main villain of the game. In the hallway before [[Baby Bowser]]'s room, Kamek acts as generic Magikoopas do in ''Super Mario World''. He does this again in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', again before Baby Bowser's room.

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Although absent in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Magikoopas appear in the [[e-Reader]] level [[Bowser's Last Stand]] in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They behave similarly to those in ''Super Mario World'', transforming [[Brick Block]]s into green [[Koopa Troopa]]s. Occasionally, their spells will backfire and produce a [[Super Mushroom]] instead.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Magikoopa Fire.png|thumb|left|Mario approaching a Magikoopa in the [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]]]
[[File:Magikoopa Artwork - Super Mario Galaxy.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Artwork of a Magikoopa from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Magikoopas, behaving much like they did in ''Super Mario World'', are found on many different worlds and [[Airships]]; as always, they attack using magic. Magikoopas, when defeated, always drop a [[coin]].

A single Magikoopa, said to be Kamek by a ''Super Mario Galaxy'' [[List of Super Mario Galaxy trading cards|trading card]], makes a brief appearance in the opening scene: he attacks Mario trying to rescue Princess Peach and sends him flying into space. A large Magikoopa named [[Kamella]] is also introduced as a boss; she is fought up to three times when [[Prankster Comet]]s are included.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Magikoopas also appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Like in the predecessor, they use magic to attack. They can either conjure up enemies ([[Goomba]]s and [[Li'l Cinder]]s) or fireballs from the previous game. It is shown in [[Bowser's Galaxy Generator]] that Yoshi can eat the Magikoopas, and they'll actually leave three Star Bits instead of one coin.
{{br}}
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Magikoopas reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', looking and acting as they do in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games, but they do not summon enemies. One takes the form of a [[fake Bowser|Tail Bowser]].

====''Super Mario 3D World''====
Magikoopas returned in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', retaining their strategy from ''Super Mario 3D Land''. They also have their own [[Enemy Battle]], [[Magikoopa Blockade]]. Defeating a Magikoopa rewards the player 1,000 points. They are called "Kameks" in European versions of the game due to the differences between regional localizations.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''/ ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Magikoopas reappear as enemies in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', acting as they did before. In the Course Maker, they can be placed as enemies, and if they are part of a stack, they will not teleport. Like many objects, they can be enlarged by a [[Super Mushroom]] and be given wings, the latter of which causes their projectiles to create winged objects when they hit a block, if applicable. If enlarged, they can make the objects created bigger as well. Shaking them has no effect, and they can be placed in [[Warp Pipe]]s, [[Bill Blaster]]s, and [[Block]]s. In addition to transforming blocks, their shots can also make [[Goal Pole]]s and [[Axe]]s disappear, after which the Magikoopa that shot them must be defeated in order to bring said goals back. Also, they can be defeated by Mario's fireballs. In the ''Super Mario World'' style, they are slightly smaller than in the original game, their wand's jewels have a shaded outline around them, and the palette is mapped properly, unlike in the original. The palette has a similar yellow skin to the original, but the blue is more vibrant.

===''Super Mario World'' television series===
[[File:TheYoshiShuffleKoopaWizard.jpg|thumb|100px|A Koopa Wizard, from the ''Super Mario World'' episode "[[The Yoshi Shuffle]]".]]
{{quote2|So, what do you have to say now, [[Luigi|egghead]]?|Koopa Wizard|The Yoshi Shuffle}}
Magikoopas, here renamed Koopa Wizards, made various appearances in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' television series]]. The first Koopa Wizard introduced was a character named [[Wizenheimer]], who was said to be the strongest of his species. He appeared in the episode "[[Ghosts 'R' Us]]" as the main antagonist instead of Bowser. The first appearance of Koopa Wizards as a species was in the episode "[[Rock TV]]", where [[Bowser]] used several Koopa Wizards hidden in televisions he sold to hypnotize the inhabitants of [[Dome City]]. Near the end of the episode, [[Yoshi]] eats all the televisions of the cave-people and spits the Koopa Wizards hidden in them out, saying they tasted disgusting. A Koopa Wizard also appears in the episode "[[The Yoshi Shuffle]]"; after being knocked over by Luigi, the angry magician transforms him into an egg. This Koopa Wizard is eventually knocked backwards by a wayward stone football thrown by Yoshi.

The last appearance of a Koopa Wizard was in the "[[Mama Luigi]]" episode, where one appears to attack Mario while he was exploring the deserted Dome City.

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
Magikoopa appeared in two of the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'', but there was only one, [[Bowser]]'s third cousin twice removed. His magic powers mostly involved shrinking things. In "[[Flown the Koopa]]", he captures dinosaurs and shrinks them to put them into his TV as he does not have cable. In "[[Unjust Desserts]]", his magic is responsible for all of the shrunken Koopa minions invading Yoshi's body.

===''Super Mario Adventures''===
Two unnamed Magikoopas were also featured in the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic; one Magikoopa, similar to [[Kamek]], was shown to be Bowser's second-in-command, organizing his wedding, among other duties. Another, elderly and mustached Magikoopa was also used by Bowser to brainwash Princess Toadstool and several hundred [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s. This Magikoopa is eventually defeated when it was trampled by the very Yoshis it had hypnotized.

===''Yoshi's Safari''===
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.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
[[File:Magikoopa_SMRPG.png|thumb|left|Magikoopa 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 Mountain]] 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]]. Kamek, under the name Magikoopa (or "Kamezard" in Japanese), is the one in the lead, and is later encountered in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]].

The demo presentation of ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' features a Magikoopa and an army of [[Terrapin]]s in the [[Forest Maze]] fighting Mario and a crying [[Mallow]], and shoots a magic spell that is blocked by [[Geno]]. This Magikoopa does not appear in gameplay. [[List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars pre-release and unused content|Internally]], this Magikoopa is known as 「カメック」 (''Kamek'', its usual name) in the Japanese version and "Merlin" in the English version.
{{br}}
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
{{Multiframe|[[File:PMMagikoopaGround.png]][[File:PMMagikoopaFlying.png]]|Two Magikoopas (one riding a broom) in ''Paper Mario''.|align=right|size=147}}
[[Kammy Koopa]] is Bowser's right-hand minion in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', and Magikoopas appear as rare enemies. One first appears in [[Shooting Star Summit]], and they are later encountered in [[Bowser's Castle]]. They maintain their teleportation abilities in this game, appearing and disappearing randomly and making it easy for them to get a [[First Strike|first shot]] on [[Mario]]. Some Magikoopas also ride broomsticks, and have to be knocked off before Mario can hit them with his [[Hammer]]. Many sub-species are also introduced in this game, but regular Magikoopas are the strongest, having all the powers of the sub-species, although the one fought on [[Shooting Star Summit]] does not appear to be a major threat.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
Magikoopas are once again enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''; however, this time they can be encountered much earlier. A trio of different colored Magikoopas can first be found in [[Glitzville]], and standard blue Magikoopas appear later in [[Rogueport Sewers]] alongside [[Hammer Bro]]s and [[Koopatrol]]s after being scattered from a [[Superbombomb]] blast at the end of Chapter 5, replacing most of the enemies previously seen in Rogueport Sewers. They have the same battle plan as in the first ''Paper Mario'', and also retained the ability to make "copies" of themselves. Once again [[Kammy Koopa]] is shown being [[Bowser]]s right hand minion. She is shown to have higher authority then the rest of them throughout the game often giving orders and participating beside [[Bowser]] in a fight.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
Magikoopas return in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', starring in [[The Bitlands]] and [[Castle Bleck]]. They are also present in Bowser's Castle and the wedding chapel at the beginning of the game. Additionally, while still at Bowser's Castle, there is one generic Magikoopa standing by his side when he is giving his minions a motivational speech before they head off to kidnap the princess; this may possibly be [[Kamek]]. Also, in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]], [[Dark Magikoopa]]s, a subspecies of Magikoopas, are introduced. They shoot spells to harm the player and can be defeated by the usual stomp. However, even if the player stomps a Magikoopa, its magic attack generally is still launched. Magikoopas are seen either standing on the ground, or riding brooms overhead.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
{{main|Kamek}}
Despite appearing in the last three installments, generic Magikoopas do not appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. However, [[Kamek]] makes his first official ''Paper Mario'' series appearance in this game.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
[[File:Magikoopa SSS.png|thumb]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]], Magikoopas appear in [[Bowser's Castle]], which had been hijacked by [[Bowletta]]. These Magikoopas attack Mario and Luigi by shooting large, spinning rings of fire at them and they would also boost themselves or other enemies' health or increase their stats. They appear on the Adventure Field. Magikoopas sometimes fight with [[Sniper Bill]]s and [[Chomp Bro]]s.

[[Psycho Kamek]] also appears in ''Superstar Saga''. He lives in [[Little Fungitown]], and hypnotizes [[Luigi]] into thinking he is Mario, thus making him brave enough to go on a daring mission to save his brother, who is sick with [[Bean Fever]]. He is replaced by [[Dr. Toadley]] in the remake.

This game is also the debut of Magikoopas' modern white-brimmed caps. They are one of the few enemies in the game to not have stylized graphics.

[[File:MLSSBMMagikoopaBroom.png|thumb]]
In the remake, Magikoopas reprise their role in the main story, all of which use Kamek's voice clips in battle. Magikoopas also appear as enemies and recruitable allies in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. They are flying troopers, and they attack enemies from their broom. Their Special Skill is Chain Shot. Like [[Red Magikoopa]]s, [[Green Magikoopa]]s, and [[White Magikoopa]]s, they are weak against [[Bowser Jr.]]

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
Although no normal Magikoopas appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', [[Kamek]] plays an important role as [[Baby Bowser|Prince Bowser]]'s attendant throughout the story. He serves as a boss of the Yoshi's Island segment of the game, being fought prior to the brothers entering [[Yoob]]'s Belly.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', [[Bowser]] saves a group of imprisoned Magikoopas inside a cage in [[Princess Peach]]'s ruined castle. After he rescues them, they'll teach Bowser a Special Attack called [[Magikoopa Mob]], where he throws fireballs to the Magikoopa's wands to power their blasts towards the enemy. There are also enemy Magikoopas which resemble [[Fawful]] called [[Magifoofa]]s. There is also a Magikoopa that helps Bowser after the player defeats him the first time (he also teaches him the punch and flame). There is also two (unless they're the same one) in the credits, and one that tells Bowser about the package Princess Peach sends.

In the game's remake, Magikoopas reprise their role as supporting protagonists in the main game, while [[Kamek]], [[White Magikoopa]]s, [[Green Magikoopa]]s, and [[Red Magikoopa]]s appear as playable allies in the [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey#Bowser Jr.'s Journey|game's side story featuring Bowser Jr.]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
Magikoopas reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' where they appear in the battle against the [[Bowser#Size|giant Bowser]]. They attack by combining their spells into a huge magic ball which they fire at [[Dreamy Luigi]], who must knock it back with his hammer. They also help Bowser grow even bigger after his initial defeat. Kamek makes an appearance as the secondary antagonist of the game, often appearing alongside Bowser and [[Antasma]], as well as the [[Elite Trio]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart 64''====
[[File:MarioKartDriversPreRelease.jpg|thumb|The Player Select screen showing Magikoopa]]
A Magikoopa (possibly [[Kamek]]) was [[List of Mario Kart 64 pre-release and unused content|originally going]] to be in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', but he was taken out for unknown reasons and was replaced with [[Donkey Kong]].

====''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''====
[[File:KamakMK.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', a lone Magikoopa (possibly Kamek) can be seen at the end of [[Bowser Castle 3 (GBA)|Bowser Castle 3]]. This Magikoopa appears only in the ''Super Circuit'' version, as it does not come back in the ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' version of this course.
{{br|left}}

====''Mario Kart 8''====
[[File:MK8 Unused Magikoopa Emblem.png|thumb|left|50px]]
An unused emblem is present in <i>Mario Kart 8</i>'s data that appears to belong to a Magikoopa (possibly Kamek), suggesting that at one point a Magikoopa was planned to be a playable character before being [[List of Mario Kart 8 pre-release and unused content|scrapped]].{{br|left}}

===''Mario Baseball'' series===
In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', Magikoopas are playable characters, originating on [[Wario]]'s team. They use their scepters as their bats, and [[Red Magikoopa|Red]], [[Green Magikoopa|Green]], and [[Yellow Magikoopa]]s appear as alternate color schemes for the game's playable Magikoopa.

In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', each Magikoopa has good fielding abilities, and some of them have average batting skills. However, all of them are very slow, and are poor pitchers.

Magikoopas also appear in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', but are part of [[Bowser]]'s team instead. Like in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', they use their scepters as bats, and come in blue, red, green, and yellow variations. Unlike with the predecessor, though, their pitching skills have greatly improved, but their batting skills are weaker than before. They are still very good fielders, but their running skills are still very poor, with the Red Magikoopa having the slowest running skills (tied with [[King K. Rool]]). Magikoopas do not have good stamina, since they get exhausted rather quickly when they let up a few big runs. Ironically, the Red Magikoopa's bio states that it has good stamina, which contradicts with its actual pitching behavior.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Magikoopas (known here as Kameks) appear during the boss fight with [[Giant Kamek]] in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. Here they appear flying on brooms, sometimes holding [[Crystal (Super Princess Peach)|crystal]]s that can be stolen if the Kamek is defeated.

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 8''====
In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Magikoopas appear in [[Shy Guy's Perplex Express]] and [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]]. In Shy Guy's Perplex Express, the Magikoopas appear when a player lands on a [[Green Space]]. They shuffle the train cars by moving the first one to the very back of the train. In Bowser's board, the Magikoopa mixes up the [[Candy (Mario Party 8)|candies]] of all the players. It is unknown whether these Magikoopas in the game are Kamek. But since two of the voices in [[Fun Bazaar]] are named after Kamek, the Magikoopas in the game are believed to be Kamek.

====''Mario Party 9''====
[[File:MP9 Toad Road beginning Mario Wario Daisy Kamek.jpg|thumb|Magikoopa's appearance in ''Mario Party 9'']]
A Magikoopa is one of Bowser's minions in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', along with [[Shy Guy]]. In Solo Mode, he appears randomly in the boards, and if one of them wins, the player has to play through the board again. But if they tie with or are defeated by a player, the player moves on to the next stage. 

When the player finishes Solo Mode, Magikoopa and Shy Guy will both become playable characters. In the PAL version, this Magikoopa is called [[Kamek]].

====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
Magikoopas appear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. Here, they act as background characters on the [[Kamek's Carpet Ride]] board.

====''Super Mario Party''====
Alongside Kamek, a generic Magikoopa appears in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' as a non-playable character.

===''Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games''===
In the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', a Magikoopa (possibly Kamek) appears before the start of the [[Dream Equestrian]] event, it looks through a telescope to view the finish and starting line, and then heads down to the starting line where the competitors begin. Throughout most of the event, it will use its magic to cast or summon fire rolling haystacks towards the players. At the entrance of cave, Magikoopa will also use its magic to cause speleothem to drop from the ceiling at the players, until it crashes into the wall. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, Magikoopa also appears as a rival in BMX, where [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] faces him.

The Magikoopa is also a ? Mark effect in London Party, it removes some of the player's stickers.

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Magikoopas reappear as enemies in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
[[File:Magikoopa-PuzzleDragonsSMBE.jpg|thumb|upright=1.4|left|The five Magikoopa colorations, as they appear in ''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''.]]
Magikoopas make an appearance as enemies in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''. They appear in five different colors, which include [[Red Magikoopa|red]], blue, [[Green Magikoopa|green]], [[Yellow Magikoopa|yellow]], and [[Purple Magikoopa|purple]], and each color determines their attribute; Fire for red, Water for blue, Wood for green, Light for yellow, and Dark for purple. Magikoopas are much smaller in this game than in other appearances. 

Magikoopas mostly appear at the tower courses in [[World 8 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|World 8]], and they also serve as the boss of {{world-link|8|towerp2|World 8-Tower 2 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)}}. Each Magikoopa has a skill that changes all Heart Orbs, along with the Orbs that they're weak against, to their own Orb attribute.

All Magikoopas offer above average HP and ATK, while their RCV is low.

====Blue Magikoopa====
[[File:PDSMBE-BlueMagikoopa-TeamImage.png|frame|100px|right]]
Ordinary blue-robed Magikoopas are named '''Blue Magikoopas''' and are Water-attribute enemies, found primarily in the towers of [[World 8 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|World 8]], first appearing in {{world-link|8|towerp1|World 8-Tower 1 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)}}.

As an enemy, a Blue Magikoopa attacks by firing a blast of blue magic at the screen, inflicting Water damage to the player's team. Their Skill, '''Water Trick''', changes all Wood and Heart Orbs on the Orb field into Water Orbs. When defeated, it may occasionally drop a large [[coin]] worth 100 coins or a [[Baddie Block#Grand Water Block|Grand Water Block]] of itself. It will always drop a [[Spiky Shell]] when defeated with a 10+ Combo attack.

Blue Magikoopas can be found in {{world-link|8|towerp1|World 8-Tower 1 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)}}, {{world-link|8|towerp2|World 8-Tower 2 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)}}, and {{world-link|8|bowserp|World 8-Bowser's Castle (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)}}.

As teammates, Blue Magikoopas have an HP rating of 5/6, an ATK rating of 5/6, and an RCV rating of 1/6. Their Max Lv. is 99. Their Water Trick Skill functions the same as it does when they appear as enemies. Blue Magikoopas use Spiky Shells and [[Grand Spiky Shell]]s to raise their Skill levels. Blue Magikoopas may give [[List of plus bonuses in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition|RCV+ bonuses]] to other teammates when being depowered. Their Awoken Skill, '''Skill Boost''', reduces the amount of turns required to first use Skills when entering a course. 

;Other forms
In [[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition#Update|version 2.0]] of ''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition'', the player can transform a Blue Magikoopa into three other forms in which another Magikoopa accompanies it: '''Blue/[[Red Magikoopa]]s''', '''Blue Magikoopas''', and '''Blue/[[Yellow Magikoopa]]s'''. All three forms share the same Skill and Skill Item requirements, and have an HP rating of 5/6, an ATK rating of 5/6, and an RCV rating of 1/6 (with the exception of Blue/Yellow Magikoopas, which has an HP rating of 6/6). 

[[File:PDSMBE-BlueRedMagikoopasCard.png|right]]
'''Blue/Red Magikoopas''' can be created by transforming a Blue Magikoopa with six [[Fire Flower]]s. This duo is a Water/Fire attribute teammate, and its Awoken Skill, '''Twin Target''', raises ATK and attacks two foes for each of this ally's attributes that the player clears four Orbs for.

[[File:PDSMBE-BlueMagikoopasCard.png|right]]
'''Blue Magikoopas''' can be created by transforming a Blue Magikoopa with six [[Ice Flower]]s. This duo is a Water/Water attribute teammate, and its Awoken Skill, '''Water Boost''', raises ATK of the player's Water attribute teammates when they clear a horizontal line of Water Orbs.

[[File:PDSMBE-BlueYellowMagikoopasCard.png|right]]
'''Blue/Yellow Magikoopas''' can be created by transforming a Blue Magikoopa with six [[Super Mushroom]]s. This duo is a Water/Light attribute teammate, and shares the same Awoken Skill as Blue/Red Magikoopas.

===Other appearances===
Several Magikoopas appear as spectators in the Bowser's Castle course in ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''.

In [[Super Mario Chess]], Magikoopas appear as bishops on Bowser's team.

In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Witches and Evokers are replaced by Magikoopas.

==Physical features==
Magikoopas have curved, beak-like mouths like average [[Koopa Troopa]]s, but with more pronounced noses and fangs; in addition, they also have claws. They all wear glasses and wizard robes that cover all their body, leaving sometimes only their feet uncovered. Underneath these robes they wear a black undershirt. Most wear wizard hats (though [[Kammy Koopa]] wears a witch's hat). Their clothes can be found in many different colors, such as yellow, white, gray, and green, though the most common is blue. Prior to ''Mario Party 8'', the only parts of a Magikoopa's robe that were colored white were the sleeve rims, with only a few exceptions in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. From ''Mario Party 8'' onwards, all the Magikoopas' hats have been given white rims. Magikoopas can summon broomsticks to fly on, and they all have scepters to cast their spells. Their scepters originally had white shafts with a blue ring and a red ring forming the base of the small green jewel at the end. The current scepter design is of a yellow (supposedly golden) shaft with a larger red jewel set in the end.

In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', they can turn into small white energy orbs to travel faster. They do this periodically during battle, making them harder to hit close-up.

Magikoopas are stated to have shells during a quiz in the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', although they have never been seen without their robes. [[Kamek]], a Magikoopa, says in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' the Mario Bros. are starting to "chap [his] shell" after taking [[Baby Bowser]]'s treasures, so it is assumed Magikoopas have them.
