Kamella

Kamella is a boss character that appears in Super Mario Galaxy. She looks similar to a Magikoopa: wearing a purple robe, blue claw polish, and green lipstick. Her appearance is reminescent of Kammy Koopa from the Paper Mario series. Her English name is also similar to Kammy; however, her Japanese name is "Boss Kamek." 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. Her legs are not seen. She also wields a Magic Scepter which houses a Power Star in its orb. When defeated, Kamella will drop the Scepter, shattering the orb, and freeing the Star

Combat
This battle practices throwing green shells. Kamella generally alternates between shooting fireballs and Koopa shells at Mario. She also has the ability to summon other Magikoopas to her aid. To defeat Kamella, Mario must 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). When Kamella uses her scepter to throw fireballs or shells, fireballs will appear as a red streak and a shell as a green one. Kamella starts the fight outside the bounderies of the ship. Mario must simply throw the shell to hit her. Once hit, she will move onto the ship. Then the player will have to jump and throw the shell to hit her, since she will be floating above the deck of the ship. If the player does this successfully, the shell will hit her the second time. Kamella then stays in her position above the deck of the ship and summons two magikoopas to her aid.

The magikoopas will disappear and reappear when Kamella is injured. If done correctly, Kamella will hurtle into space, dropping her scepter that has the Power Star inside of it. The scepter will shatter, exposing the power star for the player to grab. Kamella later appears two more times in Deep Dark Galaxy. In this fight, Kamella has the ability to teleport to random places on the ship in which they are fighting on and requires four hits instead of three, making the fight more difficult.

Trivia

 * She has a certain resemblance to Kammy Koopa of the Paper Mario series.
