'''Kamek''' is an old, yet powerful [[Magikoopa]] and apparent advisor to [[Bowser]] (or at least high-ranking member in the [[Koopa Troop]]). He first appears in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. He is also [[Baby Bowser]]'s caretaker, and continues to look after Bowser, even in the present day. Because of this, he is generally considered to be Bowser's stepfather or at least his primary parental figure. Kamek's name comes from the name for the Magikoopa species in Japanese: ''Kamekku'' (カメック), which is derived from ''kame'', the Japanese word for "turtle"<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/mariosan.shtml The Mushroom Kingdom] (Accessed on 10-11-08)</ref>.

Various unnamed Magikoopas appearing in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] are considered to be Kamek, often due to the parallels between their relationship with Bowser or their position in the [[Koopa Troop]]. In the case of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', this assumption stems from the character having "Kamek" in his name, and not from the so-called [[Psycho Kamek]]'s portrayal, which bears little resemblance to Kamek himself. | Various unnamed Magikoopas appearing in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] are considered to be Kamek, often due to the parallels between their relationship with Bowser or their position in the [[Koopa Troop]].
