'''Wizakoopa''' (originally localized simply as "'''[[Magikoopa]]'''") is the leader of the Magikoopas in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]]. He is first seen leading [[Bowser]]'s troop of Magikoopas in [[Rose Way]] and also in [[Moleville]], where his units have dwindled and he complains to Bowser that they are inexperienced with fighting the [[Smithy Gang]]. By the time Bowser is met at [[Booster Tower]], he and the rest of [[Koopa Troop|Bowser's Minions]] are nowhere to be seen. Later, he is found at [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. He has been put under mind control to work for [[Smithy]] and attacks the party for trespassing the castle. In battle, Wizakoopa attacks by using magic directly (such as [[Water Blast]], [[Blizzard (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Blizzard]], and [[Flame Wall]]), and he can also summon monsters—[[Bahamutt]], [[King Bomb]], and [[Jinx 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. He makes a [[magic treasure box]] that has an infinite number of [[coin]]s appear for the player. He also fully heals the party when spoken to from then on.

An [[Easter egg]] with Wizakoopa's [[Thought Peek]] quote implies a connection to [[Kamek]] from ''[[Super 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 to [[Baby Mario]]. In the original English translation, his thought is ''"That's...my child?"'', which presumably refers to [[Baby Bowser]]. Despite this, Bowser is not required to be in [[Mario]]'s active party. In the updated localization from the remake, the original line is properly translated to presumably refer to Baby Mario. Additionally, what appears to be an early iteration of this character is simply referred to as カメック (Kamek) in concept art for the original game.

[[List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars pre-release and unused content|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.

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.
