Examples of this include Wizenheimer from the Super Mario World cartoon, the Magikoopa boss in Yoshi's Safari, a Magikoopa adviser and a Magikoopa hypnotist from Nintendo Power's Super Mario Adventures comic, and a right-hand man Magikoopa from the fourth chapter onwards of Super Mario-kun.

This relates to confusion with the Japanese games where the character and species are considered a single interchangeable subject in all media. Various unnamed Magikoopas appearing in the Super 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:「カメック」( Kamekku), which is derived from「亀」( kame), the Japanese word for "turtle." He is also Baby Bowser's primary caretaker, and he continues to look after his master, even in the present day. He is the arch-enemy of Yoshi and serves as one of the secondary antagonists in the Super 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.'
