-From ''Mario Party DS'', it would seem that Kamek is academic, as the board that he owns is a library. This is reinforced by the fact that Kamek can build complicated machines. In ''Super Mario Party'', Kamek is shown to be quite knowledgeable, since he gives articulate advice to the player about modes such as Partner Party. In that game, Kamek is shown to be quite polite, though he takes clear enjoyment in either conjuring [[Bad Luck Space]]s or transforming them into Extra Bad Luck Spaces (exempting instances where the victim is Bowser or Bowser Jr., in which case he is apologetic to his liege and horrified at having to do so). Though his politeness is often genuine in most games, there are times when it is just an act, such as in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series as well as ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', where Kamek usually puts on a sarcastic, falsely polite demeanor when speaking to the heroes.
+From ''Mario Party DS'', it would seem that Kamek is academic, as the board that he owns is a library. This is reinforced by the fact that Kamek can build complicated machines. In ''Super Mario Party'', Kamek is shown to be quite knowledgeable, since he gives articulate advice to the player about modes such as Partner Party. In that game, Kamek is shown to be quite respectful, though he takes clear enjoyment in either conjuring [[Bad Luck Space]]s or transforming them into Extra Bad Luck Spaces (exempting instances where the victim is Bowser or Bowser Jr., in which case he is apologetic to his liege and horrified at having to do so). How genuine his politeness is tends to vary from game to game, ranging from being legitimately civil and reasonable (such as in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series where he tries to reason with Yoshi and doesn't seem to have much against Baby Mario himself) to his "politeness" merely being a facade (such as in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' where Kamek puts on a condescending, falsely polite demeanor when speaking to Mario and Kersti).
 It is hinted that Kamek has a feminine side. This is notable in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' when he starts talking about how cute the dress based on [[Princess Peach|Princess Peach's]] is while calling the Magikoopa robes drab. Furthermore, in the Japanese version, Kamek uses the feminine pronoun 「あたし」 ''atashi'' to refer to himself, and in the Japanese version of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' Kamek is referred to as「ばあさん」''bāsan'' or "old woman" by [[Kylie Koopa]], though it is unclear if this is meant to be an insult, an ignorant comment or an actual indication of Kamek's gender in that game.<ref>蓮山史樹（はすやましき）.
