Magic Wand

Magic Scepters (also known as Magic Wands) are the staves that the Koopalings steal in Super Mario Bros. 3. They were used to turn Mushroom Worlds' kings into various creatures, usually ones that Mario and the gang usually face. The transformations vary between the NES and remakes. Magic Scepters, along with the Koopalings, appeared again in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Appearance
The magic scepters are seven magic wands owned by kings which were stolen by Koopalings. They look like large golden rods with round, dome-shaped gems at the end of them in different colors. The scepters' gems are vividly colored and that is where the power is released from.

Appeared In
The Magic Scepters first debuted in the game Super Mario Bros. 3, where one of the seven Koopalings steal one of the seven magic scepters from the seven kings and use those scepters to turn the kings into animals.

In the cartoons, Bowser has used Magic Scepters since The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. They also had prominent roles in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, being used to make and solve tomfoolery.

Morton uses his scepter to turn the Mushroom King into a rabbit in the book Leaping Lizards. However in that book the wand's magic only worked one-way, so when Luigi tried to use the wand to reverse the spell, instead of turning the king back to normal, it turned him into a six-foot rabbit.

The Magic Scepters were not seen again for some time, as they are peacefully resting in the hands of the leaders of the Mushroom World. Although it is not one of the original scepters, Bowser himself used a special rod known as the Vibe Scepter in Super Princess Peach (which was also supposed to feature the Koopalings). This magical object intensified one's emotions to a frighteningly powerful degree.

After a long absence, Magic Scepters returned in the game New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Once again, they are being used by the seven Koopalings to defeat Mario. Five Koopalings fire magic blasts at the heroes (Larry, Roy, Iggy, Morton, and Ludwig), while Lemmy and Wendy use their Magic Scepters to create circus balls and candy rings respectively. While the colors of the magic blasts don't match with the magic scepters' colors by Larry, Roy, Iggy and Morton, Ludwig's magic blasts match with the color of his hair, shell, and wand. The Koopalings are generally far more skilled with magic attacks than they were in their first appearance. As the Mushroom World is absent in this game, it is assumed that these scepters are replicas. This may have some connection to Kamek's appearance.
