Red Magikoopa

A Red Magikoopa is one of the members of the Koopa Troop, abbreviated as R Magikoopa in Paper Mario. This kind of Magikoopa uses attack-increasing spells and can create clones. In battle, Mario has to Guard against his Magic Blast one second after contact to dodge correctly. Sometimes Red Magikoopas will ride brooms, but this doesn't affect their stats in any way, except hammer attacks will miss. And if a Red Magikoopa's allies have been defeated in Paper Mario, it will run away if it was battled alone.

In Mario Superstar Baseball, one of Magikoopa's alternate costumes has him wearing red robes, making him resemble a Red Magikoopa. This returns in Mario Super Sluggers.

One Magikoopa appears in Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, as an enemy in the Glitz Pit and member of the Magikoopa Masters. In this game, it has gained the ability to raise its allies' defense, as well as their attack power. Additionally, it can now clone itself if alone.

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, a Magikoopa, after being brainwashed by Smithy, dons red robes. After he is defeated in combat by Mario and his allies, the Magikoopa's red robes turn back to blue.

In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Kamek creates a red-robed clone of himself called Kamek (Red) to assist him in his third battle against the Mario Bros in Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle. This clone does not raise stats like its other fellow clones or even like Red Magikoopas in the Paper Mario series. Instead, it will attack on its own by summoning a giant broom to sweep Mario up.
