Kamek made his debut in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island}}'' as the main antagonist and has become a recurring antagonist in the ''Yoshi'' and ''Mario'' series. He is a [[Magikoopa]], a high-ranking Koopa, and is a caretaker to {{s|mariowiki|Baby Bowser}} and later his personal advisor.
Kamek is a [[Magikoopa]] in [[Bowser]]'s army. He debuted in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island}}'' as {{s|mariowiki|Baby Bowser}}'s caretaker and the game's main antagonist: throughout the game, as well as in later {{uv|Yoshi}} games, he assist bosses with his magic, usually by making them gigantic.


Kamek is known for assisting the bosses of the ''Yoshi'' and in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros.|series}}'' series starting with ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. Wii}}'' by using his magic. In ''Yoshi's Island'', Kamek uses his magic to make the bosses gigantic (or in the case of the {{s|mariowiki|Prince Froggy}} boss, shrinking Yoshi and Baby Mario). In the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, Kamek uses his magic to alter the elements of the [[Koopalings]]' boss stages and make Bowser gigantic.
Kamek later went on to appear in the ''{{iw|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros.|series}}'' series starting with ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. Wii}}'': once again he appears at the beginning of the boss battles to assist the boss, though unlike the ''Yoshi'' series in most cases his magic alters the arena instead of the boss itself.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In a Nintendo Japan questionnaire, Kamek was included as a popularly requested character for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult3.html</ref>
*Kamek's trophy in the 3DS version depicted him as a Magikoopa, due to Magikoopas being called "Kameks" in Japanese.  
*Kamek's trophy in ''Smash 3DS'' depicts him as a generic Magikoopa, while his ''Smash Wii U'' trophy lists ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as one of his appearances. While Magikoopas in general debuted in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Kamek himself debuted in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island}}''.
**Unlike Magikoopas that debuted in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Kamek himself debuted in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island}}''.
**This may be because Magikoopas are called "Kameks" in Japanese, with no clear distinction between the character and the species.
*Kamek's trophy in the Wii U version erroneously states that he might trick the player by not casting any magic at all when he appears in Mushroom Kingdom U. This is false; Kamek will always cause a stage transition with every appearance.
*Despite being a ''Mario'' trophy in both versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the Kamek trophy is part of the Yoshi's Island Trophy Box in the Wii U version, which makes sense considering he is Yoshi's arch nemesis.
*Despite being a ''Mario'' trophy in both versions of ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', the Kamek trophy is part of the Yoshi's Island Trophy Box in the Wii U version, which makes sense considering he is Yoshi's arch nemesis.
*Kamek's spirit in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is listed under the ''Mario'' series, despite the fact that he made his debut in the ''Yoshi'' series, as well as being a primary antagonist of these games, likely because he appears in ''Super Smash Bros.'' on a ''Mario'' series stage.
*Kamek's spirit in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is listed under the ''Mario'' series, despite the fact that he made his debut in the ''Yoshi'' series, as well as being a primary antagonist of these games. This may be due to the Magikoopa species originating from ''Super Mario World'', as well as Kamek having the same name as the Magikoopa outside of English.
