'''Red Magikoopas''' (abbreviated as '''R Magikoopa''' in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and '''R. Magikoopa''' in [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|the sequel]]) are red-robed [[Magikoopa]]s that primarily appear in the ''Super Mario'' role-playing games, their behavior varying between series.
==History==
===''Paper Mario'' series===
In the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'']] series, Red Magikoopas use [[ATK-Up|attack-increasing spells]] for its allies in battle. In addition to wearing red robes, they are depicted having green shoes with green jewels for their [[magic wand]]s.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', they are encountered later in the game and never appear outside of battle. In battle, they can boost another enemy's ATK by one point, but otherwise fire a magic blast or strike Mario with its magic wand, both attacks dealing three points of damage. Sometimes Red Magikoopas will ride brooms, but this doesn't affect their stats in any way, except [[hammer]] attacks will miss. When alone, it [[Flee|flees]] from battle.

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', one Red Magikoopa appears as an enemy in the [[Glitz Pit]], and member of [[The Magikoopa Masters]]. In this game, it has gained the ability to raise its allies' defense, as well as their attack power. As such, it acts as a combination of the previous depiction of them and [[Green Magikoopa]]s. Additionally, it can now clone itself if alone.

===''Mario Baseball'' series===
[[File:RedMagiSelectMSB.png|thumb|In the ''Mario Superstar Baseball'' character select screen]]
In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', a Red Magikoopa can be chosen as an alternate costume of a Magikoopa. It has a point higher in batting compared to the standard Magikoopa, but a point less in running, making it one of the slower characters in the game. Red Magikoopa returns in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', this time as a part of Bowser's team, as with the other Magikoopas. Much like in the previous game, they boast a point higher in batting, but a point lower in running.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', [[Kamek]] creates a red-robed clone of himself called [[Kamek (Red)]] to assist him in his third battle against the Mario Bros. in [[Dreamy Neo Bowser Castle]]. This clone does not raise stats like its other [[Kamek (White)|fellow]] [[Kamek (Green)|clones]] or even like Red Magikoopas in the ''Paper Mario'' series. Instead, it will attack on its own by summoning a giant broom to sweep Mario up.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
Red Magikoopas appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' after being absent in the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|original game]]. They are labeled as '''Magikoopa (Red)''', and appear as enemies and recruitable allies exclusively in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. They are ranged troopers, and can use their magic wands to raise the unit's power. Like other Magikoopas, they are weak against [[Bowser Jr.]]

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
Red Magikoopas also reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' as enemies and allies in ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode. The broom riding variety was originally going to reappear, but was cut from the game.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
Red Magikoopas appear in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'' as Fire-attribute enemies, found primarily in [[World 8 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|World 8]], first appearing in {{world-link|8|towerp1|World 8-Tower 1 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)}}. They wear bright blue shoes in this game. A Red Magikoopa attacks by firing a blast of fire magic at the screen, inflicting Fire damage to the player's team. Their Skill, '''Fire Trick''', changes all Water and Heart Orbs on the Orb field into Fire Orbs. When defeated, it may occasionally drop a large [[Coin]] worth 100 coins or a [[Baddie Block#Grand Fire Block|Grand Fire Block]] of itself. It will always drop a [[Spiky Shell]] when defeated with a 10+ Combo attack. Red Magikoopas can be found in {{world-link|8|towerp1|World 8-Tower 1 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)}} (appearing rarely in the last regular battle), {{world-link|8|towerp2|World 8-Tower 2 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)}} (as part of the boss battle with the four other Magikoopa types), and {{world-link|8|bowserp|World 8-Bowser's Castle (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)}}. Because Red Magikoopas occasionally drop Grand Fire Blocks in addition to appearing only in static enemy formations in the latter two courses, and within a rare enemy formation in {{world|8|towerp1}}, they are one of the most difficult enemies to recruit in the game.

Red Magikoopas also appear as teammates. With this role, they have an HP rating of 5/6, an ATK rating of 5/6, and a RCV rating of 0/6. Their Max Lv. is 99. Their Fire Trick Skill functions the same as it does when they appear as enemies. Red Magikoopas use Spiky Shells and [[Grand Spiky Shell]]s to raise their Skill levels. Red Magikoopas may give [[List of plus bonuses in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition|ATK+ bonuses]] to other teammates when being depowered. Their Awoken Skill, '''Skill Boost''', reduces the amount of turns required to first use Skills when entering a course.

In [[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition#Update|version 2.0]] of ''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition'', the player can transform a Red Magikoopa into three other forms in which another Magikoopa accompanies it: '''Red Magikoopas''', '''Red/[[Green Magikoopa]]s''', and '''Red/[[Purple Magikoopa]]s'''. All three forms share the same Skill and Skill Item requirements, and have an HP rating of 5/6, an ATK rating of 5/6, and a RCV rating of 0/6 (with the exception of Red/Purple Magikoopas, which has an RCV rating of 1/6).

[[File:PDSMBE-RedMagikoopasCard.png|right]]
'''Red Magikoopas''' can be created by transforming a Red Magikoopa with six [[Fire Flower]]s. This duo is a Fire/Fire attribute teammate, and its Awoken Skill, '''Fire Boost''', raises ATK of the player's Fire attribute teammates when they clear a horizontal line of Fire Orbs.  

[[File:PDSMBE-RedGreenMagikoopasCard.png|right]]
'''Red/Green Magikoopas''' can be created by transforming a Red Magikoopa with six [[Super Leaf|Super Leaves]]. This duo is a Fire/Wood attribute teammate, and its Awoken Skill, '''Twin Target''', raises ATK and attacks two foes for each of this ally's attributes that the player clears four Orbs for.

[[File:PDSMBE-RedPurpleMagikoopasCard.png|right]]
'''Red/Purple Magikoopas''' can be created by transforming a Red Magikoopa with six [[Boo Mushroom]]s. This duo is a Fire/Dark attribute teammate, and shares the same Awoken Skill as Red/Green Magikoopas.

===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
Red Magikoopas appear in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'' as selectable teammates in Baseball. Red Magikoopa boasts the same hitting and fielding as normal Magikoopas, however its speed is lower in comparison. In return, it has higher stamina. In addition, Red Magikoopa is unable to perform a sinker pitch. Instead, it is capable of a screwball pitch.
