Wizakoopa: Difference between revisions

'''Wizakoopa''' (originally localized simply as "'''[[Magikoopa]]'''") is the leader of the Magikoopas in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]]. 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 [[Koopa Troop|Bowser's Minions]] are nowhere to be seen. Later, he is found at [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. He has been put under mind control to work for [[Smithy]]. Wizakoopa first shows up in the battle courses in [[the Trial Course]], where he summons various enemies. He is encountered again shortly after the course, where he attacks [[Mario]]'s party for trespassing the castle. In battle, Wizakoopa attacks by using magic directly (such as [[Water Blast]], [[Blizzard (Super Mario RPG)|Blizzard]], and [[Flame Wall]]), and he can also summon monsters—[[Bahamutt]], [[King Bomb]], and [[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. Wizakoopa makes a [[magic treasure box]] that has an infinite number of [[coin]]s appear for the player. He also fully heals the party when spoken to from then on.

[[List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars pre-release and unused content|Unused]] battle setups from the original game reveal that the red-robed Magikoopa was originally intended as a generic enemy for Bowser's Keep rather than a specific boss character.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Super_Mario_RPG:_Legend_of_the_Seven_Stars#Unused_Battle_Formations The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>

In the original game, Wizakoopa's battle sprite is very large, appearing around the size of Bowser despite being around Mario's size in the overworld. In the remake, Wizakoopa is consistently around Mario's size.
