[[File:Paper Mario Kammy Koopa Gate Destroy.png|thumb|left|Kammy Koopa prepares to destroy a gate in Goomba Village as Goombaria, Goompapa, and Mario look on]]
Kammy Koopa first appeared in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as the secondary antagonist. During the game's introduction video, which revealed she attacked [[Star Haven]] alongside Bowser and helped him steal the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] and entrap the seven [[Star Spirits]]. Kammy later appeared alongside Bowser when he hijacked [[Princess Peach's Castle]] and invaded, and stood on the sidelines as Bowser pummeled [[Mario]] in battle with the use of the Star Rod. When Mario was defeated by Bowser and blasted out a nearby window, Kammy congratulated him and had two [[Koopatrol]] guards capture [[Princess Peach]].
Kammy Koopa first appeared in ''Paper Mario'', where serves as the secondary antagonist. In the game's opening, [[Bowser]] and Kammy attack [[Star Haven]] to steal the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]] and kidnap the seven [[Star Spirits]]. They succeed in this goal and then use Bowser's newfound power to invade [[Peach's Castle]], propelling it into the air atop [[Bowser's Castle]]. [[Mario]] confronts the pair, and Kammy cheers Bowser on during their battle. After Mario falls to Bowser's strengthened power and is blasted out of a nearby window, Kammy orders two [[Koopatrol]] to capture [[Princess Peach]] as other members of the [[Bowser's Minions|Koopa Troop]] take the other inhabitants of the castle hostage.


When Kammy discovered that Mario had survived his battle with Bowser and the fall from the airborne Princess Peach's Castle and was now in [[Goomba Village (place)|Goomba Village]], she tried to impede his progress. Summoning a [[Yellow Block]], Kammy Koopa dropped it on the gate leading out of Goomba Village, thinking Mario would be unable to pass it and reach the nearby [[Toad Town]]. Kammy Koopa's assumption proved wrong, as Mario managed to smash this Yellow Block using a [[Hammer]] and also defeated the [[Goomboss|Goomba King]]. Seeing Mario do this, Kammy left the scene to inform Bowser of Mario's progress.
In the Prologue, Mario falls down to [[Goomba Village (location)|Goomba Village]], where Kammy discovers his survival. She attempts to impede his progress by summoning a [[Yellow Block]] to drop on the gate leading out of the village, blocking Mario from leaving and returning to [[Toad Town]]. Mario receives a [[Hammer]] from [[Goompa]] and is able to destroy the block. He proceeds to Toad Town, defeating [[Goomboss|Goomba King]] along the way, and Kammy informs Bowser of this development.  


{{pmenemybox
Thereafter, Kammy regularly reports Mario's progress to Bowser during the Princess Peach interludes. In the Chapter 2 interlude, Kammy rushes into Peach's room, where Bowser is speaking with her, to inform Bowser of the [[Skolar|Star Spirit's]] escape from [[Tubba Blubba]]. After Tubba Blubba's defeat, Kammy informs Bowser in the Chapter 3 interlude and reassures him that he remains unstoppable with the power of the Star Rod. Peach happened upon the conversation and eavesdropped, but she was eventually discovered by Bowser and Kammy. Bowser demanded Peach answer questions about Mario's greatest fears, with answers ranging from enemies to helpful items, Bowser orders Kammy to venture to the [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]] and use her magic to summon whatever Peach said Mario feared to guard several treasures the [[Shy Guy]]s had stolen. Kammy expresses doubt that Peach was sincere in any of her responses, but she follows the order.  She appears numerous times throughout the chapter to deploy the enemies or items Peach said most scared Mario.  In the Chapter 4 interlude, Kammy catches Peach in the castle's kitchen after she baked a special [[Special Strawberry Cake]] for [[Gourmet Guy]].  She orders guards to return her to her room yet again, though not before Gourmet Guy informs Peach that the next Star Spirit is being held on [[Lavalava Island]].

Kammy Koopa also appears in the various Princess Peach intermissions of ''Paper Mario'', usually to alert Bowser of Mario's progress and other related information. After Mario defeated [[Tubba Blubba]], Kammy informed Bowser of this and reassured him that with the Star Rod, he was unstoppable. Princess Peach happened to intrude on this conversation between Bowser and Kammy, and, instead of being taken back to her room right away, was asked by Bowser a series of questions relating to what Mario feared. After Princess Peach answered these questions, the answers of which varied between monsters and helpful items, Bowser had Kammy Koopa, who doubted that Princess Peach honestly answered Bowser's questions, venture to the [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]] and use her magic to summon what Princess Peach said Mario feared to guard several treasures the [[Shy Guy]]s had stolen.


Later, after Princess Peach managed to blend into Bowser's forces, using a [[Clubba]] disguise conjured by her [[Sneaky Parasol]], she (Peach) managed to almost reach the top of her castle, where Kammy was apparently working on some top secret project. Exiting a nearby tower, Kammy Koopa exclaimed that her project was complete and began to leave, only to stop and congratulate the disguised Princess Peach on doing a good guarding job. As she was praising Princess Peach, Kammy Koopa, realizing that the Clubba she was talking to smelled too pleasant, used her magic to destroy Princess Peach's disguise; Kammy Koopa then had two nearby Koopatrol guards take Princess Peach back to her room. When the [[Crystal King]] was defeated and [[Kalmar]] was rescued, Kammy informed Bowser of this, and had all of Bowser's guards get ready for Mario's impending arrival.
During Chapter 6's interlude, Peach disguises herself as a [[Clubba]] with the [[Sneaky Parasol]] and explores the Koopa Troop's occupation of her castle, where she discovers Kammy working on a secret project. Kammy took notice of what she thought was a Clubba and congratulated him doing a good job guarding Peach, though she soon realizes something is strange about the Clubba given he smells too nice.  Using her magic to dispel the Clubba illusion, Kammy discovers Peach's disguise and orders two nearby Koopatrol to escort Peach back to her room. Once Mario completes Chapter 7 and has rescued all seven Star Spirits, Kammy urges Bowser to prepare his forces for an attack on the castle.  She recommends ensuring Peach is kept out of their way by tying her up.  [[Twink]] attempts to save Peach, though he is swatted out of a window by Bowser.


When Mario reached the top of Princess Peach's Castle and prepared to fight Bowser, Kammy enhanced the power of her boss to extreme levels using her aforementioned secret project, [[Power Platform|a flying arena]]. As Bowser battled Mario, [[Twink]] appeared and, planning to free Princess Peach, battled Kammy Koopa. At first, Kammy outmatched Twink completely, but as their battle waged on, Twink grew stronger due to the wishes of Princess Peach. Her only attack during this fight is to throw Yellow Blocks at Twink and Peach. Eventually, Kammy Koopa found herself unable to harm Twink and was eventually knocked unconscious by him. When Bowser was defeated by Mario, Kammy's arena exploded, flinging her and Bowser to parts unknown and destroying [[Bowser's Castle]] in the process.
When Mario reaches the castle in Chapter 8, Kammy uses her secret project, the [[Power Platform]], which is powered by her magic, to enhance Bowser's power even further. While Mario battled Bowser, Twink returns to free Peach.  This leads to his own battle with Kammy. At first, Kammy outmatched Twink completely, but as their battle waged on Twink grew stronger due to the wishes of Peach. Her only attack during this fight is to throw Yellow Blocks at Twink and Peach. Eventually, Kammy finds herself unable to harm Twink due to the power of Peach's wishes and was eventually knocked unconscious by him. When Bowser was defeated by Mario, the Power Platform begins to malfunction due to Bowser's power overloading it. The platform explodes, sending Peach's Castle and its inhabitants, including Mario, Peach, and Twink, back down to Toad Town; Bowser and Kammy, however, and blasted off to an unknown location.


Kammy Koopa evidently survived this explosion, as she can be seen in the ending parade of ''Paper Mario'', engaged in a magical duel with [[Jr. Troopa]]. After a wayward magical attack from the duel hits Bowser, both Kammy Koopa and Jr. Troopa are burnt by Bowser's fire breath.

In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and its remake, Kammy Koopa returns as a minor villain, reprising her role as Bowser's right-hand woman but assuming the role of comic relief rather than a menacing threat.  Bowser learns of the power of the [[Crystal Stars]] and that [[Princess Peach]] was kidnapped by an [[Grodus|unknown assailant]] from Kammy's reconnaissance in the Chapter 1 interlude.  Bowser jumps into his [[Koopa Clown Car]] as Kammy follows him to [[Rogueport]] in order to rescue Peach (and kidnap her for themselves) and gain the power of the Crystal Stars.  This leads to a chase for the rest of the game where Bowser and Kammy struggle, and fail, to catch-up to Mario.  Their next stop is in [[Petalburg]], where Mario and his [[Party member|partners]] recently defeated [[Hooktail]] and gained their first Crystal Star.  More importantly to Bowser, it is also where Peach has recently been spotted; however, once they arrive in the village they learn that Peach's "spotting" was actual just a poster of the princess hung in the window of one of the town's [[Koopa Troopa]] residents. Kammy consoles Bowser after he is enraged by being deceived.

The Chapter 3 interlude sees Bowser and Kammy arriving at [[The Great Tree]], where the [[Puni elder]] scolds them for their intrusion. This leads to an argument between Kammy and the elder, which Bowser gleefully watches, chortling "It's Hag vs. Hag! Awesome!" Realizing there is nothing for them in the tree, they depart. Learning that the next Crystal Star is in [[Glitzville]] in the Chapter 4 interlude, Kammy attempts to purchase two tickets for them to ride the [[Cheep Blimp]] to the floating city, one for a "great evil king" and one for a "sweet, young thing" from [[Stewart]], the [[Cheep Cheep]] blimp operator; however, Bowser's presence, as well as that of the "deluded old hag", scare Stewart enough that he runs away from his post. Tired of wasting time, Bowser takes his Koopa Clown Car to the floating city, leaving Kammy to wait for Stewart to return so she can take the blimp and wasting one of the specially prepared Special Dirigible Deluxe Brown Bag Kammy Lunches. The slower method of travel proves fortuitous for Kammy as Bower's craft crashes in the sea, leaving him unable to reach Glitzville, while she enjoys herself by watching fights in the [[Glitz Pit]] and eating the [[Hot Dog (item)|hot dogs]] from [[Mr. Hoggle|Mr. Hoggle's]] [[Hot Dog Stand]].  They eventually meet up again in Rogueport, where Kammy, adorned with balloons and a [[Rawk Hawk]] headband, brags about her time until Bowser blasts her with his fire breath out of jealousy.

[[File:PMTTYD Tattle Log - Kammy Koopa.png|thumb|left|100px|Kammy's bestiary picture.]]
Their resumed search next brings them to [[Twilight Town]] in Chapter 5's interlude, where they are confronted by [[Lord Crump]] and [[X-Nauts (organization)|X-Nauts]] that share their aim of holding Peach hostage and acquiring all of the Crystal Stars. The X-Nauts are searching for the [[Superbombomb]] lost by the [[Three Shadows]], but Bowser and Kammy decide to try to take the weapon for themselves. They summon the Koopa Troop to fight against the X-Nauts for the bomb, but Bowser's fire breath accidentally detonates it, exploding both the Koopa Troop and the X-Nauts. Bowser and Kammy finally reach Glitzville, together, in Chapter 6's interlude. They break into Rawk Hawk's room and find what they believe is the [[Gold Star]]. Rawk Hawk enters and attacks the intruders, sending Kammy flying backwards into the star. This causes the star to fall and drop on Kammy's head, splitting it in half. Kammy deduces the star is a fake and Rawk Hawk confirms Mario has already collected the real star, sending Bowser into a rage.
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Kammy Koopa returns, and is the one who informs Bowser of the [[Crystal Stars]] and Princess Peach's kidnapping by [[Sir Grodus]] (though she isn't aware Grodus is the culprit). Kammy Koopa appears throughout the Bowser intermissions of the game, and was usually used for comic relief, such as getting in a fight with the [[Puni Elder]] or going to [[Glitzville]] and coming back decorated in souvenirs.


In the [[Palace of Shadow]], it was the interruption of both Bowser and Kammy Koopa falling through the ceiling that stopped [[Sir Grodus]] from attacking Mario and murdering Princess Peach. After landing on Grodus, Bowser and Kammy engaged Mario and his [[partner]]s in battle and were defeated and fell on the floor of the Palace of Shadow unconscious. If the player leaves and reenters the room, both she and Bowser will disappear. They never appear again for the rest of the game.
The pair reach [[Poshley Heights]] in the Chapter 7 interlude and question the various residents on the whereabouts of the [[Garnet Star]], most of whom are horrified by their presence. They break into the [[Poshley Sanctum]] only to find that, like in Glitzville, the star housed there is a fake. The sanctum's curator, [[Pennington]], belittles their failed attempt until a [[Paragoomba]] crashes through a window to report that Mario has collected all seven Crystal Stars and is heading to [[the Thousand-Year Door]]. Kammy and Bowser then rush to meet him there, leading to their first and only appearance in the main story of the game. In Chapter 8, Kammy and Bowser ambush Mario and his party as they traverse the [[Palace of Shadow]] to finally rescue Peach. Intent of saving her themselves (only so they can kidnap her instead), Bowser and Kammy engage Mario and his partners in battle. They are defeated, and their distraction of Mario inadvertently provides [[Grodus]] enough time to prepare for the ritual wherein the [[Shadow Queen]] will possess Peach's body. Mario eventually rescues Peach, freeing her from the Shadow Queen's control and defeating the demon.


In the original game, Kammy is seen walking with Bowser during the end [[parade]]; however, the parade is absent in the remake. Instead, Kammy and Bowser walk across the stage with other characters as the credits roll, with Bowser dropping on Grodus in the process. They are both present at the end to the farthest right of the stage, celebrating the ending of the game alongside Mario, his [[party member#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|partners]], Princess Peach, and even [[TEC|TEC-XX]].

==Powers and abilities==
==General information==
In ''Paper Mario'', Kammy Koopa showed a variety of powers, doing such feats as summoning Yellow Blocks and living creatures, using magical lightning which could cancel the effects of the Sneaky Parasol and in the game ending parade, the ability to teleport, and the usual Magikoopa ability to shoot a magical blast. Kammy Koopa also showed some expertise at mechanics, apparently being the one who built Bowser's Power Platform. Despite this range of abilities, Kammy was exceptionally weak in battle, having at the most only ten HP.
===Personality===
Although Bowser outright disrespects her quite often, usually directly in her presence, Kammy appears totally devoted to him and is often shown in his company. In [[Goombella]]'s tattle in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', she wonders whether it is harder for Kammy to put up with Bowser or vice versa. The old Magikoopa is also somewhat vain, believing herself to be beautiful beyond compare, saying her name is beautiful, and often describing herself as such. Kammy can also be unintentionally comical at times and she occasionally shows signs of senility, particularly in ''The Thousand Year Door''.


In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Kammy Koopa appeared to only possess the generic Magikoopa abilities, such as bestowing different powers to herself and Bowser and recovering health.
===Physical appearance===
Kammy Koopa is one of the highest-ranking members of the [[Bowser's Minions|Koopa Troop]]. Accordingly, she wears distinctive purple robes to separate her from the others.  Her dark purple hat, unlike most Magikoopas, bends backwards,where most Magikoopas' hats stick straight up unless they are mounted on a broom. She is seen with white hair down the side of her face and small oval-shaped glasses. She is also noticeably shorter than most Magikoopas, perhaps due to her hunched back. Being shorter, her staff is also shorter than most Magikoopas. She is also often seen mounted on her broom. The broom is much bigger than her, with bamboo-like texture to the wood. The end of the broom has a white and purple cloud-like texture. This end piece puffs as she flies. Her physical appearance bears a striking resemblance to [[Kamella]].

—Kammy Koopa, Paper Mario

Kammy Koopa is a high-ranking Magikoopa in the Koopa Troop, being described as the "brains behind Bowser", who appears primarily in the the first two installments of the Paper Mario series. She serves as the secondary antagonist in Paper Mario and as a minor villain regularly in Bowser's company in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its remake. Her name is a pun on "Kamek" and the feminine given name "Cammy."

History[edit]

Paper Mario series[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

“Who stuck that weird thing into the story?”
—Narrator, Paper Mario
Kammy Koopa prepares to destroy a gate in Goomba Village as Goombaria, Goompapa, and Mario look on

Kammy Koopa first appeared in Paper Mario, where serves as the secondary antagonist. In the game's opening, Bowser and Kammy attack Star Haven to steal the Star Rod and kidnap the seven Star Spirits. They succeed in this goal and then use Bowser's newfound power to invade Peach's Castle, propelling it into the air atop Bowser's Castle. Mario confronts the pair, and Kammy cheers Bowser on during their battle. After Mario falls to Bowser's strengthened power and is blasted out of a nearby window, Kammy orders two Koopatrol to capture Princess Peach as other members of the Koopa Troop take the other inhabitants of the castle hostage.

In the Prologue, Mario falls down to Goomba Village, where Kammy discovers his survival. She attempts to impede his progress by summoning a Yellow Block to drop on the gate leading out of the village, blocking Mario from leaving and returning to Toad Town. Mario receives a Hammer from Goompa and is able to destroy the block. He proceeds to Toad Town, defeating Goomba King along the way, and Kammy informs Bowser of this development.

Thereafter, Kammy regularly reports Mario's progress to Bowser during the Princess Peach interludes. In the Chapter 2 interlude, Kammy rushes into Peach's room, where Bowser is speaking with her, to inform Bowser of the Star Spirit's escape from Tubba Blubba. After Tubba Blubba's defeat, Kammy informs Bowser in the Chapter 3 interlude and reassures him that he remains unstoppable with the power of the Star Rod. Peach happened upon the conversation and eavesdropped, but she was eventually discovered by Bowser and Kammy. Bowser demanded Peach answer questions about Mario's greatest fears, with answers ranging from enemies to helpful items, Bowser orders Kammy to venture to the Shy Guy's Toy Box and use her magic to summon whatever Peach said Mario feared to guard several treasures the Shy Guys had stolen. Kammy expresses doubt that Peach was sincere in any of her responses, but she follows the order. She appears numerous times throughout the chapter to deploy the enemies or items Peach said most scared Mario. In the Chapter 4 interlude, Kammy catches Peach in the castle's kitchen after she baked a special Special Strawberry Cake for Gourmet Guy. She orders guards to return her to her room yet again, though not before Gourmet Guy informs Peach that the next Star Spirit is being held on Lavalava Island.

During Chapter 6's interlude, Peach disguises herself as a Clubba with the Sneaky Parasol and explores the Koopa Troop's occupation of her castle, where she discovers Kammy working on a secret project. Kammy took notice of what she thought was a Clubba and congratulated him doing a good job guarding Peach, though she soon realizes something is strange about the Clubba given he smells too nice. Using her magic to dispel the Clubba illusion, Kammy discovers Peach's disguise and orders two nearby Koopatrol to escort Peach back to her room. Once Mario completes Chapter 7 and has rescued all seven Star Spirits, Kammy urges Bowser to prepare his forces for an attack on the castle. She recommends ensuring Peach is kept out of their way by tying her up. Twink attempts to save Peach, though he is swatted out of a window by Bowser.

When Mario reaches the castle in Chapter 8, Kammy uses her secret project, the Power Platform, which is powered by her magic, to enhance Bowser's power even further. While Mario battled Bowser, Twink returns to free Peach. This leads to his own battle with Kammy. At first, Kammy outmatched Twink completely, but as their battle waged on Twink grew stronger due to the wishes of Peach. Her only attack during this fight is to throw Yellow Blocks at Twink and Peach. Eventually, Kammy finds herself unable to harm Twink due to the power of Peach's wishes and was eventually knocked unconscious by him. When Bowser was defeated by Mario, the Power Platform begins to malfunction due to Bowser's power overloading it. The platform explodes, sending Peach's Castle and its inhabitants, including Mario, Peach, and Twink, back down to Toad Town; Bowser and Kammy, however, and blasted off to an unknown location.

Kammy survived this explosion and can be seen in the ending parade. There, she is engaged in a magical duel with Jr. Troopa. After a wayward magical attack from the duel hits Bowser, both Kammy and Jr. Troopa are burned by Bowser's fire breath.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

“Why, even at my age, I was shaking what my momma gave me!”
—Kammy Koopa, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and its remake, Kammy Koopa returns as a minor villain, reprising her role as Bowser's right-hand woman but assuming the role of comic relief rather than a menacing threat. Bowser learns of the power of the Crystal Stars and that Princess Peach was kidnapped by an unknown assailant from Kammy's reconnaissance in the Chapter 1 interlude. Bowser jumps into his Koopa Clown Car as Kammy follows him to Rogueport in order to rescue Peach (and kidnap her for themselves) and gain the power of the Crystal Stars. This leads to a chase for the rest of the game where Bowser and Kammy struggle, and fail, to catch-up to Mario. Their next stop is in Petalburg, where Mario and his partners recently defeated Hooktail and gained their first Crystal Star. More importantly to Bowser, it is also where Peach has recently been spotted; however, once they arrive in the village they learn that Peach's "spotting" was actual just a poster of the princess hung in the window of one of the town's Koopa Troopa residents. Kammy consoles Bowser after he is enraged by being deceived.

Kammy returning from Glitzville

The Chapter 3 interlude sees Bowser and Kammy arriving at The Great Tree, where the Puni elder scolds them for their intrusion. This leads to an argument between Kammy and the elder, which Bowser gleefully watches, chortling "It's Hag vs. Hag! Awesome!" Realizing there is nothing for them in the tree, they depart. Learning that the next Crystal Star is in Glitzville in the Chapter 4 interlude, Kammy attempts to purchase two tickets for them to ride the Cheep Blimp to the floating city, one for a "great evil king" and one for a "sweet, young thing" from Stewart, the Cheep Cheep blimp operator; however, Bowser's presence, as well as that of the "deluded old hag", scare Stewart enough that he runs away from his post. Tired of wasting time, Bowser takes his Koopa Clown Car to the floating city, leaving Kammy to wait for Stewart to return so she can take the blimp and wasting one of the specially prepared Special Dirigible Deluxe Brown Bag Kammy Lunches. The slower method of travel proves fortuitous for Kammy as Bower's craft crashes in the sea, leaving him unable to reach Glitzville, while she enjoys herself by watching fights in the Glitz Pit and eating the hot dogs from Mr. Hoggle's Hot Dog Stand. They eventually meet up again in Rogueport, where Kammy, adorned with balloons and a Rawk Hawk headband, brags about her time until Bowser blasts her with his fire breath out of jealousy.

Their resumed search next brings them to Twilight Town in Chapter 5's interlude, where they are confronted by Lord Crump and X-Nauts that share their aim of holding Peach hostage and acquiring all of the Crystal Stars. The X-Nauts are searching for the Superbombomb lost by the Three Shadows, but Bowser and Kammy decide to try to take the weapon for themselves. They summon the Koopa Troop to fight against the X-Nauts for the bomb, but Bowser's fire breath accidentally detonates it, exploding both the Koopa Troop and the X-Nauts. Bowser and Kammy finally reach Glitzville, together, in Chapter 6's interlude. They break into Rawk Hawk's room and find what they believe is the Gold Star. Rawk Hawk enters and attacks the intruders, sending Kammy flying backwards into the star. This causes the star to fall and drop on Kammy's head, splitting it in half. Kammy deduces the star is a fake and Rawk Hawk confirms Mario has already collected the real star, sending Bowser into a rage.

The pair reach Poshley Heights in the Chapter 7 interlude and question the various residents on the whereabouts of the Garnet Star, most of whom are horrified by their presence. They break into the Poshley Sanctum only to find that, like in Glitzville, the star housed there is a fake. The sanctum's curator, Pennington, belittles their failed attempt until a Paragoomba crashes through a window to report that Mario has collected all seven Crystal Stars and is heading to the Thousand-Year Door. Kammy and Bowser then rush to meet him there, leading to their first and only appearance in the main story of the game. In Chapter 8, Kammy and Bowser ambush Mario and his party as they traverse the Palace of Shadow to finally rescue Peach. Intent of saving her themselves (only so they can kidnap her instead), Bowser and Kammy engage Mario and his partners in battle. They are defeated, and their distraction of Mario inadvertently provides Grodus enough time to prepare for the ritual wherein the Shadow Queen will possess Peach's body. Mario eventually rescues Peach, freeing her from the Shadow Queen's control and defeating the demon.

In the original game, Kammy is seen walking with Bowser during the end parade; however, the parade is absent in the remake. Instead, Kammy and Bowser walk across the stage with other characters as the credits roll, with Bowser dropping on Grodus in the process. They are both present at the end to the farthest right of the stage, celebrating the ending of the game alongside Mario, his partners, Princess Peach, and even TEC-XX.

Field Tattle[edit]

Outside of battle, Goombella can use Tattle on Kammy Koopa only after Mario defeats her and Bowser in the Palace of Shadow.

  • "That's Kammy Koopa. She's the old witch that serves as Bowser's advisor. But what do you care? Let's stop worrying about her and go save Peach!"

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Two items featuring Kammy Koopa appear in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there is a sticker of Kammy that raises the attack power of "direct" attacks by eight. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Kammy is featured as a primary, attack-type spirit that, when equipped, increases the power of magic attacks.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Cropped from page 38 from issue 27 of Super Mario-kun.
Kammy Koopa in Super Mario-kun.

Kammy Koopa makes appearances in both the Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door arcs of Super Mario-kun. In volume 27, she battles Mario, Goombario, Kooper, Peach, and Twink at Bowser’s Castle. In the bonus chapter of volume 33, Kammy Koopa, disguised as Bowser, fights Yoshi Kid in Twilight Town.

General information[edit]

Personality[edit]

Although Bowser outright disrespects her quite often, usually directly in her presence, Kammy appears totally devoted to him and is often shown in his company. In Goombella's tattle in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, she wonders whether it is harder for Kammy to put up with Bowser or vice versa. The old Magikoopa is also somewhat vain, believing herself to be beautiful beyond compare, saying her name is beautiful, and often describing herself as such. Kammy can also be unintentionally comical at times and she occasionally shows signs of senility, particularly in The Thousand Year Door.

Physical appearance[edit]

Kammy Koopa is one of the highest-ranking members of the Koopa Troop. Accordingly, she wears distinctive purple robes to separate her from the others. Her dark purple hat, unlike most Magikoopas, bends backwards,where most Magikoopas' hats stick straight up unless they are mounted on a broom. She is seen with white hair down the side of her face and small oval-shaped glasses. She is also noticeably shorter than most Magikoopas, perhaps due to her hunched back. Being shorter, her staff is also shorter than most Magikoopas. She is also often seen mounted on her broom. The broom is much bigger than her, with bamboo-like texture to the wood. The end of the broom has a white and purple cloud-like texture. This end piece puffs as she flies. Her physical appearance bears a striking resemblance to Kamella.

Powers and abilities[edit]

In Paper Mario, Kammy Koopa showed a variety of powers, doing such feats as summoning Yellow Blocks and living creatures, using magical lightning which could cancel the effects of the Sneaky Parasol, and, in the game's ending parade, the ability to teleport and the usual Magikoopa ability to shoot a magical blast. Kammy also showed some expertise at engineering, being the one who built Bowser's Power Platform. Despite this range of abilities, Kammy was exceptionally weak in battle, having at the most only ten HP.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Kammy Koopa possess more generic Magikoopa abilities, such as bestowing different powers to herself and Bowser and recovering health.

Quotes[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

  • "You little whippersnapper... You're too young to fight me!"
  • "Congratulations on your victory, Your Viciousness! That's why you're the king!"
  • "Bleah nyeah heh hee ha heh! You fell right into our trap! And you call yourself a hero? Did you think we were foolish enough to just sit back and watch as you saved the Star Spirits? I put together a little surprise for you...a device that increases Bowser's power! King Bowser will be so powerful that not even the power of the Star Spirits can compare! He'll now truly be invincible... ...thanks to my wisdom! Are you ready, my King? Then power up!!"
  • "Nyeah heh heh heh!!! Ooh, I can't wait until Mario gets here! He's gonna get beaten so bad! He'll probably start crying! Then King Bowser and I will laugh and laugh! Come and get it, Mario! Nyeah heh heh ha!!!!!"
  • "Nyeah heh ho ha... Did I just feel a breeze, or was that really your attack?"

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

  • "I am a beautiful Koopa with a beautiful name, Kammy Koopa!"
  • "This ugly thing knows where the Crystal Stars are! Tell us!"
  • "Why, even at my age, I was shaking what my momma gave me!'"
  • "You there! Two tickets! One 'great evil king' and one 'sweet, young thing'!"
  • "Glitzville was FANTASTIC! The fights were SO COOL!" [...] "And then... the Hot Dogs! Oh my gracious! YUMMERLY!"
