In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', Kamek reappears as '''Giant Kamek''' (Japanese デカメック ''Dekamekku''), working for Bowser once again. After the Mario Bros. and several Toads are kidnapped by the [[Army Hammer Bro.]], Kamek is trusted with safeguarding the captured Luigi. | In ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', Kamek reappears as '''Giant Kamek''' (Japanese デカメック ''Dekamekku''), working for Bowser once again. After the Mario Bros. and several Toads are kidnapped by the [[Army Hammer Bro.]], Kamek is trusted with safeguarding the captured Luigi. Upon [[Peach]] and her talking umbrella [[Perry]]'s arrival at the section of [[Giddy Sky]] where Luigi is held captive, they find the green-clad plumber trapped in a bubble with Kamek watching over him. When Peach attempts to approach her friend, Kamek interrupts the reunion with a magical spell that sends Luigi flying. The Magikoopa then flies around before being inveloped in magical rings that grow him giant-sized, he then attacks. Kamek's ensemble is different from his other appearances: His robe is now purple and covers his whole body (Though his underclothes are still blue, shown when he attacks) with matching shoes and hat. Kamek's wand is also enormous and floats at the wizard's side instead of being held by him. | ||
During the battle, Kamek levitates in the air, periodcaly teleporting from place to place. This teleporting can be tracked via his wand, which moves around to stay by his side. Kamek frequently fires the Polygon blast typical to the Magikoopas from his wand. The either come in bursts of three or five, or occasionally three shots in succession that home in on the princess. Kamek will also summon magikoopas on brooms to ram the princess, some of which carry [[Vibe Crystals]] which drop to the ground on defeat. A cloud moves in a circular fashion in the center of the battleground, which is the easiest way to get to Kamek and strike the Wizard with his weakness: Wind. | |||
If Peach attacks Kamek's face with the [[Joy Vibe]]'s whirlwind, Kamek's head will spin 360 degrees multiple times before stopping, leaving the wzard dazed and vulnerable to any method of attack. It should be noted that Kamek's face is the only solid part of his body, Peach will pass harmlessly through his robe. When Kamek's [[HP]] is reduced to 2 points, the wizard starts using the [[Gloom Vibe]], his robes and clothing turning blue and starting to cry. The cloud is destroyed and Peach must now use Joy to fly up to Kamek as well as stun the Magikoopa. His magic comes faster and he also teleports more frequently. Despite his powers, Kamek is defeated by the teamwork of Peach and Perry in the end. | |||
Unlike the other bosses, who explode upon being defeated, Kamek turns transparent and disappears, hinting that he survived the battle (enforced by his appearance in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''). Luigi then falls from the sky, his bubble popping, and has a happy reunion with the princess, though she apparently does not remember his name, the game's dialogue calling him a "strange green man". Peach, Luigi, Perry and the Toads then travel to [[Bowser's Villa]] to confront the villain and rescue [[Mario]]. | |||
Kamek must be battled again post-game to unlock the extra stages in Bowser's Villa. | |||
The glossary of ''Super Princess Peach'' refers to Kamek as "A Kamek made huge by magic." Because "Kamek" is the Japanese name of both the Kamek character and the species known as "Magikoopa" in Western localizations, Giant Kamek may actually be a generic Magikoopa and not the genuine Kamek due to translation errors (which would explain the seemingly improper article "a" being applied to him). However, because Giant Kamek is clad in robes that are not the same as the Magikoopas he summons, it is still likely that he is the true Kamek due to this form of distinction. The fact that Giant Kamek was guarding Luigi, a hostage of major importance, also supports the theory that he was indeed intended to be accepted as the Kamek character, as naturally Bowser's best wizard would be suitable for the job of guarding Luigi. | The glossary of ''Super Princess Peach'' refers to Kamek as "A Kamek made huge by magic."
