In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Kamek appears under the name Magikoopa (or "Kamezard" in Japanese). He is first seen leading Bowser's troop of Magikoopas in [[Rose Way]] and also in [[Moleville]], where his units have dwindled and he complains to Bowser that they are inexperienced with fighting the [[Smithy Gang]]. By the time Bowser is met at [[Booster Tower]], he and the rest of the [[Koopa Troop]] are nowhere to be seen. Later, he is found at [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. He has been brainwashed to work for [[Smithy]] and attacks the party for trespassing the castle. In battle, Magikoopa would attack by using magic attacks (such as [[Water Blast]], [[Blizzard (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Blizzard]], and [[Flame Wall]]), and would summon monsters (such as [[Bahamutt]], [[King Bomb]], and a [[Jinx Clone]]) to fight for and protect him. After being defeated, he returns to normal (signified by his robe changing from red to blue), and apologizes to Bowser. He makes a [[magic treasure box]] that has an infinite amount of [[coin]]s appear for the player, and will fully heal them when spoken to. | In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Kamek appears under the name Magikoopa (or "Kamezard" in Japanese).

During the battle with Magikoopa, his thought via [[Mallow]]'s [[Psychopath]] ability is 「キイーッウキイーーッ！ あの時の赤んぼう！？」 (''Kiii ukiii!

The baby from that time!?'') in the Japanese version, which refers to recognizing Mario from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''; despite this, other dialogue implies that this Magikoopa is original to the game, and as such, that reference may simply be an [[Easter egg]] - especially since Kamek is otherwise not treated as distinct from Magikoopa in that language. In the English version, his thought is "''That's...my child?''" which presumably refers to Bowser. Despite this, Bowser is not required to be in Mario's active party, and Magikoopa does not react to Bowser like the castle's earlier monsters that run away from him. | ||
