Kamella

Kamella is a boss character that appears in Super Mario Galaxy. She looks similar to a Magikoopa wearing a purple robe and green lipstick. Her appearance is reminescent of Kammy Koopa from the Paper Mario series. Her name is also similar to Kammy. She is first fought in the Space Junk Galaxy and is encountered two more times in the Deep Dark Galaxy. Whether it is her natural size, or due to some sort of magic, Kamella is much larger than other Magikoopas.

Appearance
Kamella, like all Magikoopas, is a Koopa wearing a flowing robe and wizard hat. One minor difference between her and a Magikoopa is that her fangs point upward, while other Magikoopas' point down. She also wields a Magic Scepter which houses a Power Star in its orb. When defeated, Kamella will drop the Scepter, which in turn will shatter the orb, freeing the Star.



Combat
Kamella generally alternates between shooting fireballs and Koopa shells at Mario. She also has the ability to summon other Magikoopas to her aid. One of the ways to defeat Kamella is to grab the Koopa shells she summons and toss them back at her. As she takes damage her attacks become increasingly dangerous (for instance, she begins firing multiple fireballs at once).
