'''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; most games featuring both have Kamek be the only (or at least, only prominent) blue-colored Magikoopa.
==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]]''. They appear in [[3 Lemmy's Castle|#3 Lemmy's Castle]] and [[7 Larry's Castle|#7 Larry's Castle]]. They vanish and appear into view while teleporting around. Magikoopas only ever appear on solid ground, but hitting a [[Rotating Block]] beneath one will not defeat it or cause it to fall from its position. Magikoopas are immune to [[Fireball|fireballs]] and [[Cape Mario|Cape Mario's]] cape spins. If one is defeated, another Magikoopa replaces it shortly afterward, similar to [[Lakitu]]. While opaque, Magikoopas can shoot [[Spell|magic]] at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. Their magic can turn Rotating Blocks into various enemies and items, and the exact probabilities have been revealed through reverse-engineering:<ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=q15yNrJHOak|title=Super Mario World - Random Number Generation|date=October 5, 2016|publisher=YouTube|language=en|author=Retro Game Mechanics Explained|accessdate=May 21, 2024}}</ref>
*Yellow Koopa Troopa = 238/256 (≈ 93%)
*Thwimp = 9/256 (≈ 3.5%)
*Coin = 8/256 (≈ 3%)
*1-Up Mushroom = 1/256 (≈ 0.4%)
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.

====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''====
[[File:KamekSW2YI.png|thumb|Kamek's ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' 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 the character [[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 make their first 3D ''Super Mario'' appearance and are found on many different worlds and [[Airship]]s. They float in place, their spells always spawn rolling fireballs when they hit a surface, and when they teleport, they take the form of a glowing ball that moves around an area, sometimes advancing further along the level. 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]] also appears as a recurring boss, and summons a pair of normal Magikoopas to assist her midway through her battles.

====''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 ([[Mini Goomba]]s and [[Li'l Cinder]]s) or fireballs from the previous game. [[Yoshi]] can eat Magikoopas, causing them to leave three Star Bits instead of one coin upon defeat.

====''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 [[Tail Bowser]].

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
Magikoopas return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|Nintendo Switch port]], 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 Wii U version due to the differences between regional localizations. In ''Bowser's Fury'', Magikoopas have cat ears, and seven of them must be defeated at [[Fort Flaptrap]] in order to earn the [[Cat Shine]] "Show's Over, Cat Magikoopas".

====''Super Mario Maker'' series====
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. In the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style, their robes are brown. The course part roulette refers to them as "Kamek", but placing one in a level has the narrator call them Magikoopas.

Magikoopas can transform loose [[Coin]]s, [[Power-Up]]s, [[Rotten Mushroom]]s, and any destructible Blocks into either [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s (red or green), [[Spiny|Spinies]], or rarely, Coins and Super Mushrooms, and when they have wings, summoned objects will also have wings, and they can also create lit [[Bob-omb]]s or [[Deep Cheep]]s (or their equivalents). In the game styles for ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', they can also create [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, while in the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' game style, they can create [[Ant Trooper]]s, [[Skipsqueak]]s, and wingless lit Bob-ombs, but not Spinies. Winged Magikoopas cannot create Coins (unless enlarged), Buzzy Beetles, or Skipsqueaks. Magikoopas enlarged with a Super Mushroom spawn a different set of objects, also enlarged when applicable; [[Boo]]s, Deep Cheeps, a [[Fire Bar]], [[Stingby|Stingbies]] (''Super Mario 3D World'' only), several coins, or the styles' unique Power-Up ([[Big Mushroom]]s in ''Super Mario Bros.'', [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Cape Feather]]s in ''Super Mario World'', [[Propeller Mushroom]]s in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', and [[Super Bell]]s in ''Super Mario 3D World''). Big Magikoopas with wings summon the same items but with wings, except any coins.

===''Super Mario World'' television series===
[[File:TheYoshiShuffleKoopaWizard.jpg|thumb|100px|A Koopa Wizard, from the ''Super Mario World'' episode "[[The Yoshi Shuffle]]".]]
{{quote|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 King Koopa. 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 a [[Yoshi's 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 appears in three of the ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'', but there is only one, [[Bowser]]'s third cousin twice removed. His magic powers mostly involve shrinking things. In ''[[Flown the Koopa]]'', he is the main antagonist of the story, where he captures dinosaurs and shrinks them to put them into his TV for his entertainment as he does not have cable, while also petrifying intruders and dinosaurs that he got tired with into granite statues to get rid of them. In ''[[Unjust Desserts]]'', his magic is responsible for all of the shrunken Koopa minions invading Yoshi's body. In ''[[Brain Drain]]'', he can possibly be encountered leading an army when Luigi decides to follow Mario's mind in the princess's body instead of the princess's mind in Mario's body, which leads to a fight where Luigi and the princess's body must escape from.

===''Mario Roulette''===
In ''[[Mario Roulette]]'', two Magikoopas can be seen in the audience when [[Mario]] explains how to play the game.

===''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'' / ''Super Mario RPG'' (Nintendo Switch) ===
[[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]]'' 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 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 "{{wp|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 [[Star Hill|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 colored variants are also introduced in this game. The initial Magikoopa is only capable of a [[spell]] attack, the colored variants are additionally each capable of applying a single status buff to another enemy, the ones in Bowser's Castle have all the powers of the Magikoopa types at once, and all types [[flee]] if they are the last enemy remaining.

====''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. [[The Magikoopa Masters|A trio of different colored Magikoopas]] can first be found in [[Glitzville]], and standard blue Magikoopas appear later in [[Rogueport Underground]] 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 Underground. They have the same battle plan as in the first ''Paper Mario'', and also retained the ability to make "copies" of themselves. When [[tattle]]d, the [[Tattle Log]] image for the copies is noticeably off-center compared to the real one. Once again [[Kammy Koopa]] is shown being [[Bowser]]'s right hand minion. She is shown to have higher authority than 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]]'', appearing in [[The Bitlands]] and [[Castle Bleck]]. They are also present in Bowser's Castle and the wedding chapel at the beginning of the game. 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, and another standing in front of all the other minions. Also, in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]], [[Dark Magikoopa]]s, a fully black variation 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 appearance in the ''Paper Mario'' series in this game, and reappears in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''.

===''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. The sprite for these enemies are based on the ''[[Paper Mario]]'' art style, but their clothes are purple in the original game.

[[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''====
[[File:Caged Magikoopas.png|thumb|Magikoopas trapped in a cage]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', [[Bowser]] saves a group of imprisoned Magikoopas (one of whom is named [[Magikoopa Mob|Jerry]]) inside a cage in [[Princess Peach]]'s ruined castle. After he rescues them, they will 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), nurses Bowser's wounds, and 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.]] In addition, the same side story portrays Kamek as the Magikoopa that helped Bowser after being defeated by Mario the first time (which possibly means he is also the Magikoopa tending to Bowser and informing him of Peach's gift in the epilogue).

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
Magikoopas reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' where they appear in the battle against the [[Bowser#Size|giant Bowser]]. They stand in a ring formation, with the one in the center talking, implying it is Kamek. 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 & Luigi: Brothership''====
[[File:MLB Magikoopa.png|thumb|100px]]
Magikoopas reappear once again in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'' where they appear as enemies in [[Bowser's Castle]]. In this game, their robes and hats are orange to differentiate from [[Kamek]], who also appears in this game. One of their attacks involve summoning the magic blocks used by Kamek in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' above [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] and transforming the blocks into [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, or [[Bob-omb]]s; during this attack, the camera angle changes such that the camera is right above the enemies and looking behind Mario and Luigi. The Goombas and Bob-ombs must be jumped over, while the Koopa Paratroopas fly overhead. The Magikoopas will fly at both brothers after the player gets rids of the summoned enemies; their charge attack must be jumped. Their other attack involves them casting colored spells that Mario and Luigi must counter by using their [[hammer]]s. Red spells target Mario, green spells target Luigi, and blue spells miss completely.

[[Glohm]]-[[Glohm Magikoopa|infected Magikoopas]] appear on the path to the Airship as well as when chasing [[Reclusa]] if the player is knocked off the plug by a [[Doom Bloom]].

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

===''Mario Baseball'' series===
Magikoopas are playable characters in both games of the [[Mario Baseball (series)|''Mario Baseball'' series]]. 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]]'', Magikoopa has good fielding abilities, and some of them have average batting skills. However, all of them are very slow, and are poor pitchers. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', their pitching skills have greatly improved, but their batting skills are weaker than before. Magikoopas 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. They share good chemistry with [[Boo]], Bowser, [[Bowser Jr.]], and the Bros. They have bad chemistry with the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s and the babies, in reference to their conflict with Kamek.

In ''Mario Superstar Baseball'', they originate on [[Wario]]'s team, but were made part of [[Bowser]]'s team instead in ''Mario Super Sluggers''.

===''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===
Though Kamek has prominently appeared in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], the Magikoopa species only has a few minor appearances. In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', they appear in the [[Test for the Best]] minigame, holding up the 9,000 points sign. In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', Magikoopas act as background characters on the [[Kamek's Carpet Ride]] board. In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', a regular Magikoopa is one of the puzzles in the Toad's Rec Room minigame [[Puzzle Hustle]].

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Magikoopas reappear as enemies in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|ports]]. They appear in [[Battle Tower Blitz]], [[No Sleep at Magikoopa Keep]], [[Toad Brigade to Magikoopa Keep!]], and [[Mummy-Me Maze Forever]]. They behave the same in this game as they did in ''Super Mario 3D World'', although defeating them rewards three coins.

===''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 are 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 number 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.

===''Minecraft''===
In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Witches and Evokers are replaced by Magikoopas. To match the ''Super Mario'' theme, cauldrons are also replaced with small pipes and are now used for decoration and to store water.

===''Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit''===
Magikoopas make an appearance in ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'', using their magic to mirror a track in [[Magikoopa Mirage]] whenever players pass through the third gate in the course. They once again ride brooms.

===''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope''===
[[File:M+RSOH Magikoopas Memory.jpg|thumb|left|Magikoopa [[Memory]] image]]
{{quote|You ever fought Magikoopas [[File:Magikoopa icon MRSOH.png|20px]] before? Trust me, they're DANGEROUS. They can Empower any allies nearby with ease. AND they have a [[Magic wand|Wand]] that can dish out damage to multiple Heroes within a certain range.|Gargantu-fan|Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope}}
Magikoopas appear as enemies in ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', appearing in [[Barrendale Mesa]] and alongside [[Darkmess Bowser]] in [[Cursa's stronghold]]. Their glasses in this game are red, due to being under [[Cursa]]'s control. In battle, Magikoopas can raise attack power of themselves and nearby enemies by 50%, and attack by firing explosive blasts similar to Bowser's Bowzooka. They also resist all Super Effects. While on the field, they ride on their brooms, but in battle, they float slightly above the ground.
{{br}}

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

==General information==
===Physical appearance===
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. Additionally, [[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. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]]s intended to cause damage to shelled enemies work on Kamek and [[Paper Kamek]]. In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Kamek can also be used to win several [[List of badges in Mario Kart Tour|badges]] which require challenges to be completed with characters wearing shells. In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', Kamek is shown to have a shell-shape hunchback under his robe.
