Template:Item-infobox Magic Scepters (also known as Magic Wands or Koopa Scepters) are the magic items that the Koopalings stole in Super Mario Bros. 3. They were used to turn Mushroom Worlds' multiple Mushroom Kings into various creatures, usually ones that Mario and the gang usually face. The transformations vary between the NES and remakes. The Koopalings also used the Scepters to shoot harmful projectiles when encountered as bosses.

Magic Scepters, along with the Koopalings, appeared again in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Appearance

The Magic Scepters are seven magic wands owned by kings which were stolen by Koopalings. They look like large golden rods with round, dome-shaped gems at the end of them in different colors. The scepters' gems are vividly colored and that is where the power is released from.

History

The Magic Scepters first debuted in the game Super Mario Bros. 3, where one of the seven Koopalings steal one of the seven magic scepters from the seven kings and use those scepters to turn the kings into animals (or in the case of the Pipe Maze king, a plant). In the e-reader levels for the GBA remake Super Mario Advance 4, despite the scepters being returned to their rightful owners, Lemmy, Morton, and Ludwig were shown to wield them in battle again.

In the cartoons, Bowser has used Magic Scepters since The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. They also had prominent roles in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, being used to make and solve tomfoolery.
