Magikoopas debuted in Super Mario World. They wear blue robes and hats, similar to wizards' clothes. They are generally considered senior members of Koopa's forces, and some were personal advisors to King Bowser Koopa. Kamuk, the leader of Magikoopas, has appeared in several parts of the Yoshi series. He is usually the main villain or assistant. Kamek is the only magic house in Yoshi's game. Lonely Magikoopas that appear in other games is often referred to as Kameks. Sometimes Kamek is intended to be the character in question but is accidentally called the typical "Magikoopa" because "Kamek" is also the common name for the Japanese species. This example is Mario Party 9, where Kamek is called by name in the Paar region but is called "Magikoopa" in the North American version.
