Kamek (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)

Kamek the Magikoopa is one of the two secondary antagonists (alongside Koopa General) of The Super Mario Bros. Movie. He is Bowser's most loyal henchman. A Koopa with supernatural abilities, he acts as a sycophantic adviser and father figure and is also an informant to Bowser. Unfortunately, he also deals with the brunt of Bowser’s wrath when things don’t go as planned.
==Profile==
===Physical description===
Kamek's appearance strongly resembles his video game counterpart.
===Speech===
He is able to talk and even speaks in a German accent reminiscent of Peter Lorre (and Sleet from Sonic Underground) completely unlike his video game counterpart.
==Personality==
Kamek is a very loyal koopa who acts as Bowser's advisor. He demonstrates some level of sadism, as seen by his facial expression when Bowser destroys the Penguin Kingdom, as well as when he is torturing Toad. He is also much more friendly with Bowser and is the main one Bowser opens up to compared to the other koopas.
== Biography ==
Kamek resides in the Dark Lands serving Bowser. One night, he commanded Bowser's army to defeat the army of penguins in Snow Kingdom in which they successfully did and retrieved the Star.
No sooner does Bowser finish singing this than Kamek came to inform him about Mario's arrival into the Mushroom Kingdom; however, Bowser said he is not concerned about this. Then other members of the Koopa Troop alerted him to Mario's presence, causing Bowser to see this stranger as a rival for Peach's affections. Afterward, he has Luigi brought before him and interrogates him on Mario's whereabouts.
Bowser's army along with Kamek intervened with the Mushroom Kingdom with Bowser wanting to marry Princess Peach. As Peach saw Kamek torturing Toad, she reluctantly agreed.
Kamek was a marriage officiant about to announce Bowser and Peach's "marriage". However, Peach interrupted him by punching him in the face.
He was last seen in Brooklyn during the final fight alongside Bowser while levitating the Super Star with his magic. It is unknown what happened to Kamek afterwards, but it is likely he was presumably defeated by Mario and Luigi when they grabbed the Super Star and became invincible against Bowser and his Koopa army. Another possibility is that he escaped by teleporting back to the Dark Lands or just teleporting somewhere else.
==Trivia==
*While his name was shown in the credits, it was never addressed in the film.
*Him impersonating Peach for Bowser while he rehearses for his wedding references games such as New Super Mario Bros. Wii and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, where he dresses up as her to trick the Mario Bros. into thinking that they've won. 
** This could also be a homage to the first draft of the critically panned and box office bomb Mario Bros. Movie from 1993, where an early version of his character creates an illusory castle where he impersonated Daisy to capture Mario.
* It's never stated if he is Bowser's parental guardian like in the games, though this could change in the sequel .
*Kamek is seen on his signature broom in only one scene of the film.
*He speaks with a type of German accent.
* Kamek along with Toad, Princess Peach, Donkey Kong and Bowser are the only five characters in the first film to ever visit Brooklyn.
