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. Screenshots indicate that Magikoopas will be appearing in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', which would make it their first appearance in a 3-D mainstream Mario game. |
− | + | In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', a Magikoopa resided at Horror Land's Mystery Mansion and sold Darkness Lamps. 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), where they use their wands as baseball bats. | |
