==Trivia==
*In a Nintendo Japan questionnaire, Kamek was included as a popularly requested character for Super Smash Bros. Melee.https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/PostResult3.html
*Kamek's trophy in Smash 3DS depicts him as a generic Magikoopa, while his Smash Wii U trophy lists Super Mario World as one of his appearances. While Magikoopas in general debuted in Super Mario World, Kamek himself debuted in .
**This may be because Magikoopas are called "Kameks" in Japanese, with no clear distinction between the character and the species.
*Kamek's trophy in the Wii U version erroneously states that he might trick the player by not casting any magic at all when he appears in Mushroom Kingdom U. This is false; Kamek will always cause a stage transition with every appearance.
*Despite being a Mario trophy in both versions of Super Smash Bros. 4, the Kamek trophy is part of the Yoshi's Island Trophy Box in the Wii U version, which makes sense considering he is Yoshi's arch nemesis.
*Kamek's spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is listed under the Mario series, despite the fact that he made his debut in the Yoshi series, as well as being a primary antagonist of these games, likely because he appears in Super Smash Bros. on a Mario series stage.
