They are the most prominent Toadies in any game they appear, to the point of standard Toadies being given their attributes in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', where Kamek is absent. The group has not been seen to directly attack and, save for in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''{{'}}s Time Attack mode, cannot be attacked themselves.
==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
{{multiframe|[[File:SMW2 Kamek's Toadies and Mario.png]]|size=150|Kamek's Toadies carrying Baby Mario away, from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''}}
In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]], Kamek's Toadies appear to kidnap and carry [[Baby Mario]] away if [[Countdown Timer|star power]] runs out. They can appear virtually anywhere if the timer depletes completely, including [[Froggy]]'s stomach. In the final boss battle, it is possible for [[Yoshi]] to shoot down Kamek's Toadies with [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]] if they are thrown directly upward. One of Kamek's Toadies also appears on a card in the mini-game [[Scratch and Match (minigame)|Scratch and Match]], which is featured as a bonus challenge.

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
Kamek's Toadies, referred to as '''[[Magikoopa]]s''' in the [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]],<ref>{{cite|quote=If your star points tick down to 0, the Magikoopas will carry your baby away.|date=November 6, 2006|isbn=1598120166|author=Williams, Drew|title=''Yoshi's Island DS'' Player's Guide|page=7|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> reprise their role in the direct sequel to ''Yoshi's Island'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Serving Kamek, who has traveled back in time, the Toadies kidnap babies from all over the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], including Baby Mario and [[Baby Peach]]. However, the latter two's captors are attacked by the [[Stork]], who saves them from being kidnapped. At the end of the game, they carry the unconscious [[Bowser]] away. Additionally, their role in Scratch and Match returns.

====''Yoshi's New Island''====
Kamek's Toadies appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', with exactly the same role and behavior as their first appearance.

===''Club Nintendo''===
[[File:ToadiesCN.jpg|thumb|Some Toadies seen in "[[Mario in Mariozilla]]."]]
Kamek's Toadies once more appear in the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Mario in Mariozilla]]." They help Kamek invade Mario's garden, but when his plan to shrink Mario fails, they flee. The Toadies are later seen during a fight between Mario and Kamek, supporting the Magikoopa. After Kamek and Mario get shrunk by the abilities of the Magikoopa's broom, some Toadies work together with [[Dr. Light]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] in order to transform their master back.

In this comic, the Toadies look different from their appearance in the games: their actual eyes and pupils are visible behind their glasses, rather than just the spiral form, their characteristic teeth are missing, they wear armor with round short sleeves instead of their usual robes and they possess fingers.

===''Yoshi Touch & Go''===
In ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', Yoshi must stop Kamek's Toadies from stealing [[Baby Luigi]] in Time Attack mode by throwing eggs at them. The four of Kamek's Toadies (each of which has two hit points, giving the group a total of eight) carry Baby Luigi at the top of the screen, shielded by a group of many purple Toadies that can each absorb one hit. If Yoshi manages to break through the purple Toadies and defeat Kamek's Toadies before the time runs out, he can save Baby Luigi.

===''WarioWare Gold''===
In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', Kamek's Toadies appear in the [[Yoshi's Island (microgame)|Yoshi's Island]] microgame if Yoshi fails to catch [[Baby Mario]] before time runs out.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', while Kamek's Toadies do not appear, their artwork is used for the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] of regular Toadies.

==Trivia==
[[File:SMW2 Snifit unused.gif|frame]]
*During development of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Kamek's Toadies were originally designed as [[Propeller Mūcho|propeller-wearing Snifit]]s.<ref>{{cite|author=Salad Plain Zone|date=July 24, 2020|url=x.com/saladplainzone/status/1286711808363884549|title=X post featuring screenshots from a ''Yoshi's Island'' prototype|publisher=X|accessdate=July 24, 2020}}</ref>
*In ''Tetris Attack'', though they solely appear as part of the background image for Kamek's window, Kamek does announce them when he appears in the Cave of Wickedness.
*Unused text for ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' reveals an enemy called "Kamek apprentice," with "Kamek" meaning "Magikoopa." While no associated graphics have been found, this could means that the Toadies were intended to be in the game at some point in development.
