Psycho Kamek

Psycho Kamek trying to hypnotize Luigi.

Psycho Kamek is a strange, white-garbed Magikoopa hypnotist who lives in Little Fungitown during the events of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. After Mario was diagnosed with Bean Fever, Luigi had to go to Guffawha Ruins to retrieve Crabbie Grass. However, Luigi lacked courage to go on his own, so he visited Psycho Kamek to help him get his courage back. Psycho Kamek put a spell on Luigi to make him think he was Mario, giving him confidence.

Psycho Kamek seems to be a bit senile, attempting to hypnotize a Toad into believing he was a Toad; he can also sometimes be seen purposely trying to hypnotize himself in front of a mirror. This has caused the residents of Little Fungitown to begin to refer to him as Psycho Kamek. There are also speculations that Kamek and Psycho Kamek are the same person (the latter being older), but this has been disproved because Kamek appears as young as he was during the events of Super Princess Peach and the Mario Party series, among other games.

Also, it should be noticed that the similar Kamekku is Japanese for "Magikoopa," so his name may actually be "Psycho Magikoopa."

Trivia

• Psycho Kamek's white, red-trimmed robes may be designed after those of the White Mages of the Final Fantasy video game series.
