[[File:KamekBrainwashed.png|thumb|left|The brainwashed Magikoopa in battle]]
'''Magikoopa''' is the leader of [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick/Projects/Kamekku|the rest of his species]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. He is first seen leading Bowser's troop of Magikoopas in [[Rose Way]] and also in [[Moleville]], where his units have dwindled and he complains to Bowser that they are inexperienced with fighting the [[Smithy Gang]]. By the time Bowser is met at [[Booster Tower]], he and the rest of the [[Koopa Troop]] are nowhere to be seen. Later, he is found at [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. He has been brainwashed to work for [[Smithy]] and attacks the party for trespassing the castle. In battle, Magikoopa would attack by using magic attacks (such as [[Water Blast]], [[Blizzard (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Blizzard]], and [[Flame Wall]]), and would summon monsters (such as [[Bahamutt]], [[King Bomb]], and a [[Jinx Clone]]) to fight for and protect him. After being defeated, he returns to normal (signified by his robe changing from red to blue), and apologizes to Bowser. He makes a [[magic treasure box]] that has an infinite amount of [[coin]]s appear for the player, and will fully heal them when spoken to.

During the battle with Magikoopa, his thought via [[Mallow]]'s [[Psychopath]] ability is 「キイーッウキイーーッ！　あの時の赤んぼう！？」 (''Kiii ukiii! The baby from that time!?'') in the Japanese version, an [[Easter egg]] implying he may be the same as [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick/Projects/Kamekku|Kamek]] from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. However, his thought is "''That's...my child?''" in the English version, which presumably refers to seeing Bowser, whom Kamek helped raise since a baby. Despite this, Bowser is not required to be in Mario's active party, and Magikoopa does not react to Bowser like the castle's earlier monsters that run away from him.

[[List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars pre-release and unused content|Unused]] battle setups reveal that the red-robed "Kamezard" Magikoopa was originally intended as a generic enemy for Bowser's Keep rather than a specific boss character, which may indicate it was not actually intended to be the specific character from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' in spite of the Psychopath thought's implication. Additionally, the character is otherwise treated as original to ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' alongside Bowser's other commanders, hence why the unique Japanese name was never used again.
