Magikoopas (カメック, Kamek) are magical and powerful Koopas in the Mario series. A notable Magikoopa named Kamek is the main antagonist of the Yoshi series.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

In Smash Run, a mode exclusive to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Magikoopas appear as enemies. They possess a magic attack similar to how it appears in the Mario series, that can lower a random stat, like Koffing. Like all enemies, they drop a number of stat boosts when defeated.

Kamek appears in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, making an appearance on Mushroom Kingdom U. When he appears, he uses his magic to change the layout of the stage.

Trophy description

The 3DS trophy of a Magikoopa seems to conflate the Magikoopa species with the individual Kamek; this is likely due to the fact that they share the same Japanese name. Kamek is a magic-wielding, robed figure usually seen riding on a broomstick in the Mario series. He teleports around the stage, looking for fighters. When he finds one, he'll cast spells at them. If he hits you with one, your stats will drop. That's no good, since you'll need some power to deal with Kamek's high stamina!

Origin

Magikoopas are enemies in the Mario series since Super Mario World. Their leader is Kamek, who either assists Bowser (whom he raised) and is the main villain of the Yoshi series. A Magikoopa's magic can have various effects, depending on the spell cast. Kamek has been known to give power to common enemies (Yoshi's Island series) or Bowser, the Koopalings, and Boom Boom (New Super Mario Bros. series), among other spells.
