Examples of this include Wizenheimer from the Super Mario World cartoon, the Magikoopa boss in Yoshi's Safari, a Magikoopa hypnotist from Nintendo Power's Super Mario Adventures comic, and a Magikoopa from the third volume of Super Mario-Kun.

Prior to the development of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, singular Magikoopas had already been depicted in important roles as elite members of the Koopa Troop across various media, likely owing to their powerful abilities. 1.14 Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros.1.11.2 Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.1.11.1 Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games.U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. 1.7.2 Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey.1.3 Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.1.2.6 Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World.1.2.1 Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.Many appearances of individual Magikoopas, however, specifically call back to Kamek's behavior in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island in having him power up bosses, likely making these the same individual.

Various unnamed Magikoopas appearing in the Mario franchise are presumed to be Kamek, often due to the parallels between their relationship with Bowser or their position in the Koopa Troop. Kamek's name comes from the name for the Magikoopa species in Japanese: Kamekku (カメック), which is derived from kame, the Japanese word for 'turtle.' He is also Baby Bowser's primary caretaker, and he continues to look after Bowser, even in the present day. He is the arch-enemy of Yoshi and serves as one of the secondary antagonists in the Mario franchise, alongside Bowser Jr., and is one of the two main villains of the Yoshi franchise, alongside Baby Bowser. Kamek (referred to as Magikoopa on occasion) is an old yet powerful Magikoopa, adviser to Bowser and a high-ranking member in the Koopa Troop. “You know, when I think 'little Mario,' I think ' Bowser's perpetual enemy.'
