As a stage element

Kamek appears as a stage element on the Mushroom Kingdom U stage. When he appears, he casts a spell which switches the stage between its possible forms. He doesn't interact directly with the fighters.

In Smash Tour

Kamek appears as a random event in Smash Tour. He appears at the beginning of a turn and uses his magic to change the position of the checkpoints.

Trophy information

Kamek's trophy is part of the Yoshi's Island Trophy Box.

North AmericaSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Kamek is a magic-wielding, robed figure usually seen riding on a broomstick in the Mario series. He teleports around the stage, looking for fighters. When he finds one, he'll cast spells at them. If he hits you with one, your stats will drop. That's no good, since you'll need some power to deal with Kamek's high stamina!

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U This magical menace is one of Bowser's henchmen and shows his face in plenty of titles, even outside of the Mario series. In the Mushroom Kingdom U stage, he swoops onto the screen every so often to transform the stage with his magic. Now and then, though, he'll tease you by not casting any magic at all. He's a sly one, that Kamek.

Origin

Kamek appears before the boss battle with Roy in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Kamek is a Magikoopa in Bowser's army. He debuted in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island as Baby Bowser's caretaker and the game's main antagonist: throughout the game, as well as in later Yoshi games, he assist bosses with his magic, usually by making them gigantic.

Kamek later went on to appear in the New Super Mario Bros. series starting with New Super Mario Bros. Wii: once again he appears at the beginning of the boss battles to assist the boss, though unlike the Yoshi series in most cases his magic alters the arena instead of the boss itself.
