The Magikoopa's usual routine in platformer games is to appear from nowhere, cast a spell and then teleport across the room. The Magikoopa's wand emits magical blasts (shaped like squares, triangles and circles) that transform blocks into enemies. Other magical abilities have included the ability to grow and shrink other creatures. Magikoopas have also been known to ride flying broomsticks. |

In other games, they appeared as bosses. A nameless Magikoopa who changed size was boss of the Dark Woods in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]''. Another unnamed Magikoopa was a boss in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' while under the control of Smithy. After being defeated by Bowser and his allies, the Magikoopa was free from Smithy's spell and tried to redeem himself by summoning a chest with an endless supply of coins. Other Magikoopas were seen in the game as part of Bowser's Koopa Troop, but they were never battled. |

In ''Paper Mario'' and ''The Thousand-Year Door'' they have a wider variety of spells, but in ''Super Paper Mario'' they can only fire blasts of magic. In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', one Magikoopa was fought by Bowser and became helpful afterwards, and after a group of Magikoopas were freed at Bowser's Castle, they would teach Bowser the Magikoopa Mob attack which summoned Magikoopas to aid in battle. In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', they were present during a boss battle with a "Giant Kamek". They also appeared as enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', usually in airship levels, along with a Magikoopa boss named [[Bosses in Super Mario Galaxy#Kamella|Kamella]], and they appeared again in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They appeared again in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' with a simplified attack pattern of throwing magic and then teleporting away. The second [[Bowser]] fought in the game was also shown to actually be a Magikoopa assuming his form with a [[Tanooki Suit|Tanooki tail]]. |

In other ''Mario Party'' games, Magikoopa items (the Magikoopa referred to as Kamek in several games) appear, and the item summons a Magikoopa that shuffles around all the players' capsules. Magikoopas are playable in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' (Blue, Green, Red and Yellow varieties) and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', where they use their wands as baseball bats. In the latter game's challenge mode, each Magikoopa appears individually in a different area and must be challenged at different points to progress. |

Later games implied that the two split ways, and [[Kammy Koopa]] (the only female Magikoopa shown to date) instead operated as Bowser's main minion primarily in the ''Paper Mario'' games. Kamek has since returned to prominence in games such as ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. In some cases, Kamek is the only Magikoopa to appear in a game. The only other Magikoopa character is Kamella, another female Magikoopa who is a boss in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. |

*Magikoopas make an appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]''. In the 3DS version, Magikoopas appear as enemies in the Smash Run mode. In the Wii U version, Kamek specifically appears in the Mushrom Kingdom U stage, where he can use his magic to alter the stage. The 3DS game has a Kamek trophy, although it seems that the trophy is actually intended to be for Magikoopas as a whole, as Kamek having the same Japanese name as the Magikoopas in general often leads to such translation errors and the trophy specifically refers to the Magikoopas' attacks from Smash Run. | *Magikoopas make an appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]''.
