Wizakoopa (originally localized simply as "Magikoopa") is the leader of the Magikoopas inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars andits Nintendo Switch remake. He is first seen leadingBowser's troop of Magikoopas inRose Way and also inMoleville, where his units have dwindled and he complains to Bowser that they are inexperienced with fighting theSmithy Gang. By the time Bowser is met atBooster Tower, he and the rest ofBowser's Minions are nowhere to be seen. Later, he is found atBowser's Keep. He has been put under mind control to work forSmithy. Wizakoopa first shows up in the battle courses inthe Trial Course, where he summons various enemies. He is encountered again shortly after the course, where he attacksMario's party for trespassing the castle. In battle, Wizakoopa attacks by using magic directly (such asWater Blast,Blizzard, andFlame Wall), and he can also summon monsters—Bahamutt,King Bomb, andJinx 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 amagic treasure box that has an infinite number ofcoins appear for the player. He also fully heals the party when spoken to from then on.
Wizakoopa'sthought implies a connection toKamek fromSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. In the original Japanese script, the quote is「キイーッウキイーーッ！ あの時の赤んぼう！？」(Kiii ukiii! The baby from that time!?), presumably referring toBaby Mario. In the original English translation, his thought is "That's...my child?" which presumably refers toBaby Bowser. Despite this, Bowser is not required to be in Mario's active party. In the remake, the line has been retranslated to resemble the former.
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.[1]
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.
