Trivia[edit]
- In a Nintendo Japan questionnaire, Kamek was included as a popularly requested character for Super Smash Bros. Melee.[1]

- 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.
