Red Magikoopa

Red Magikoopas are red-robed Magikoopas that primarily appear in the Mario role-playing games, their behavior varying between series.

History

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, a Magikoopa, after being brainwashed by Smithy, dons red robes. After he is defeated in combat by Mario and his allies, the Magikoopa's red robes turn back to blue.

Paper Mario series

In the Paper Mario series, Red Magikoopas use attack-increasing spells for its allies in battle. In addition to wearing red robes, they are depicted having green shoes with green jewels for their magic wands.

In Paper Mario, they are encountered later in the game and never appear outside of battle. In battle, they can boost another enemy's ATK by one point, but otherwise fire a magic blast or strike Mario with its magic wand, both attacks dealing three points of damage. Sometimes Red Magikoopas will ride brooms, but this doesn't affect their stats in any way, except hammer attacks will miss. When alone, it flees from battle. In-game, a Red Magikoopa's name is abbreviated to R Magikoopa.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, one Red Magikoopa appears in Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door, as an enemy in the Glitz Pit and member of the Magikoopa Masters. In this game, it has gained the ability to raise its allies' defense, as well as their attack power. Additionally, it can now clone itself if alone. In-game, its name is abbreviated to R. Magikoopa.

In Mario Superstar Baseball, a Red Magikoopa can be chosen as an alternate costume of a Magikoopa. This returns in Mario Super Sluggers.

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

In Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, Kamek creates a red-robed clone of himself called Kamek (Red) to assist him in his third battle against the Mario Bros. in Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle. This clone does not raise stats like its other fellow clones or even like Red Magikoopas in the Paper Mario series. Instead, it will attack on its own by summoning a giant broom to sweep Mario up.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition

Red Magikoopas appear in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition, as enemies and allies that the player can use against other enemies. Instead of wearing green shoes and having a green jewel on their wand like they do in the Paper Mario series, they now wear blue shoes and the jewel on the wand is red. Its attribute is Fire.
