Kamek also appears as the famous [[Game Mage]] in ''[[Mario Party Advance]]''; [[Monty Mole]], [[Hoot]], and [[Amp]] all mention him when their quests are cleared. If players can find Kamek's location, he challenges them to a mini-game, the winner of that mini-game becoming the Game Master. If players defeat Kamek he explains that he has left Bowser's forces due to Bowser simply taking the title of Game King instead of earning it. The end credits for ''Mario Party Advance'' say that Kamek had "forgiven Bowser and rejoined his side."

If the player lands on a particular Green Space, Magikoopa is summoned, remarks that the train could use a little mixing up (or in initial English releases, recites a rhyming spell), and sends the front train car to the back.

In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', Kamek is the one who acts out the first stage of Bowser's plan, by delivering the invitations to dinner at Bowser's Castle to Mario and his friends. Then, once the heroes have been shrunken and Bowser has taken their [[Sky Crystal]], Bowser orders Kamek to "give 'em the boot", which he does offscreen. Later in the story mode, he hosts the board [[Kamek's Library]] and traps [[Koopa (Mario Party DS)|Koopa]]'s grandfather, [[Koopa Krag]], inside one of his library books. Koopa asks Mario and co. to rescue Koopa Krag, thus beginning the Party.

[[File:MP9 Toad Road beginning Mario Wario Daisy Kamek.jpg|thumb|Magikoopa's appearance in ''Mario Party 9''.]]
Kamek (referred to as Magikoopa in the American localization) is one of the unlockable characters in ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', along with [[Shy Guy]]. In Solo Mode, he appears randomly in the boards as a CPU player competing against the player. If he or Shy Guy wins a board, the player has to play through the board again. If they tie with or are defeated by a player, the player proceeds to the next stage. If he ties with Shy Guy on a board, the results are the same as if only one of the two characters won that board. When the player finishes Solo mode once, Kamek and Shy Guy both become playable characters for any mode excluding Solo. Although other Magikoopas have been playable in the ''Mario Baseball'' games, this is the first game since ''Tetris Attack'' where Kamek himself is playable. He is also the only playable character in ''Mario Party 9'' who has not returned as a playable character in later installments.

====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
===''Mario Party: Island Tour''===
Kamek is seen riding his broomstick in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''. Here he owns a board known as [[Kamek's Carpet Ride]], which allows the players to move forward or back. He also has two items that appear in [[Perilous Palace Path]]. These are the [[Crazy Kamek]], which summons him to switch the user's space with another randomly-chosen player, and the [[Chaos Kamek]], which switches everyone's spaces like the [[Bowser Space#Mario_Party_3|Bowser Shuffle]] event from ''[[Mario Party 3]]''.

Kamek, who is giant, appears as the final boss of [[Airship Central]]. He attacks by shooting [[Bullet Bill]]s, [[Banzai Bill]]s, and [[Big Amp]]s. To defeat him, the player must collect missiles from bubbles and shoot them at him. Small missiles are worth 2 points, while big missiles are worth 5 points. Kamek just shoots standard Bullet Bills at first, but when he loses half of his HP, he gets mad and then shoots Banzai Bills and Big Amps along with the Bullet Bills. After Kamek loses all of his HP, he is defeated and is sent flying with his broom.

====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
===''Mario Party: Star Rush''===
Kamek appears as both a boss in the Toad Scramble mode and as an obtainable item in the Coinathlon mode in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. His boss minigame is [[Kamek's Card Tricks]], where players need to select cards with down arrows to deal damage to him. If players select a card with an image of him in it, he delivers a lightning blast that deducts one point from the team. Kamek also briefly appears in the beginning of the minigame, [[Bowser Jr.'s Pound for Pound]], where he enlarges Bowser Jr. before leaving.

Kamek reappears in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', where he is a host alongside [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]]. He places [[Bad Luck Space]]s and Extra Bad Luck Spaces on the board, which replace the [[Bowser Space]]s, thus taking over Bowser's role of bringing bad luck to players that land on the Bad Luck Spaces. When interacting with Bowser and Bowser Jr., Kamek has unique dialogue such as when they land on a Bad Luck Space. The player can also talk to him in the Party Plaza, where he will get rid of the Piranha Plants blocking the pipes or change the time.

Although Kamek himself does not return in the ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' version of GBA Bowser Castle 3, there is a bike modeled after the Magikoopa called the [[Magikruiser]]. More specifically, it is designed like a Magikoopa riding on his broom and is a bike for small characters. Since this includes the baby characters, it may be a reference to Kamek's frequent kidnapping of the babies in the ''Yoshi'' series, which he does on his broom.

As of the [[Battle Tour]], Kamek became available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe. Kamek uses brand new voice clips instead of reusing his old ones.

Kamek sports an apron while on Yoshi's Island. He uses it to store important items such as his scepter and broom and is never shown performing such tasks as cooking or cleaning. Kamek's role as a parental figure was a primary source of comic relief whenever he appeared; he would often have to perform duties similar to those of a normal parent, but twisted to fit with Bowser's need for evil (for instance, he once had to get Baby Bowser 'evil milk' from 'an evil cow').

Washing up on [[Plack Beach]], Kamek and Bowser Jr. reunite with the latter already preparing to set out for his "rematch". Exasperated with Bowser Jr.'s arrogance, Kamek lectures him on the importance of respecting one's minions as they would respect their master, a lesson his father knows. When Bowser Jr. objects, Kamek makes the youth look around to make him realize that he has isolated himself through his selfishness and immaturity. With his words seemingly getting through to the youth, Bowser Jr. simply remarks of his current state of hunger. Dejected, Kamek sets off to look for food. In his absence, however, Bowser Jr. slowly comes to realize his own shortcomings and the importance of having allies. Kamek is attacked by a group of [[Drillbit Crab]]s and Bowser Jr. comes to his rescue, announcing his plan of rescuing the Koopalings. Elated with Bowser Jr.'s change of heart, Kamek joins him in their newfound quest of gathering the scattered Koopalings.

After the Bowsers begin to fight, Kamek talks with a minion who claims to have seen paper Toads and minions erupt from Peach's Castle and talks of a book housing a world between the pages. He later joins forces with Paper Kamek, primarily by creating paper constructs to halt the Mario Bros' progress.

In battle, Kamek will create a magic beam with his paper counterpart. The trio must jump over the beam each time it passes under them, as well as jump in sequence when the Kameks move the magic beam in a circular motion. Another attack involves either Kamek traveling through different portals that the other creates and each targeted Bro. must jump once Kamek exits a portal of a certain color. In another attack, Kamek will charge up a magic fireball while Paper Kamek creates copies of himself, initiating Trio Boomerang. The Bros. must fire Paper Mario at Paper Kamek's copies, then hit Kamek enough times, causing him to get hit by the fireball. After enough turns have passed, the Kameks will [[Prohibited Command|disable]] the most-used command block for each bro, and after more turns have passed they will summon some [[Paper Dry Bones]] stacks.

In the original Japanese script, there is no such specification, merely listing the events of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' while attributing them to Magikoopas in general.

Dr. Kamek's skill is to immediately eliminate a number of [[virus]]es of the most common color, even those that require multiple matches or are contained inside objects such as [[floatie virus]]es or viruses in [[barrel]]s respectively. In stage mode, the amount is up to four of them, while in versus the amount is 4, 8, 12, 16 and 20 for level 1 to 5 respectively, with the skill meter charging faster at level 4 and even faster at level 5.

In versus mode, there is a slight delay between the skill's usage and the execution. If no viruses are found in the stage while this skill is used, it does nothing.
