Wizardheimer

“Because I'm an evil Koopa Wizard, I don't need a reason to be mean and nasty, it's my nature!”

—Wizardheimer, Ghosts 'R' Us

Wizardheimer is a somewhat overweight "Koopa Wizard" with a booming voice. Wizardheimer was also the main antagonist of the Super Mario World episode "Ghosts 'R' Us".

Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool first encounter Wizardheimer while searching the Enchanted Forest for Oogtar the Caveboy, who is missing. After bumping into Wizardheimer in the forest, the Koopa Wizard forces Mario, Luigi and Toadstool into a nearby Warp Tube, threatening to blow the trio up with a Bob-omb if they didn't obey.

This Warp Tube led to Wizardheimer's Haunted House, the basement of which he shackled Mario, Luigi and Toadstool in.

Wizardheimer later captured Oogtar, who had attempted to break-into his Haunted House. Wizardheimer was later defeated when Yoshi, after facing his fears and venturing into Wizardheimer's Haunted House, eats the Koopa Wizard's wand.

After having his wand eaten, Wizardheimer was bonked on the head by the recently released Mario and fell unconscious into his basement.

In "The Yoshi Shuffle", he makes a brief appearance. As Luigi tries to catch a rock football, he runs into Wizardheimer. Angered, Wizardheimer turns Luigi into an egg; right after doing this, Wizardheimer is flung backwards by the soaring football and subsequently drops his wand, which Mario later finds and uses to turn Luigi back to normal.

Trivia

• Wizardheimer claims to be the owner of the Enchanted Forest, whether this is true or not is unconfirmed.

• Not once in "Ghosts 'R' Us" do Mario, Luigi or any other character pronounce Wizardheimer's name right, constantly referring to him as "Wizenheimer" or "Wisecracker".
