Kamek reappears in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', where he is a host alongside [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]]. He places [[Bad Luck Space]]s and Extra Bad Luck Spaces on the board, which replace the [[Bowser Space]]s, thus taking over Bowser's role of bringing bad luck to players that land on the Bad Luck Spaces. When interacting with Bowser and Bowser Jr., Kamek has unique dialogue such as when they land on a Bad Luck Space. The player can also talk to him in the Party Plaza, where he will get rid of the Piranha Plants blocking the pipes or change the time. | Kamek reappears in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', where he is a host alongside [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]].

In battle, Kamek is able to fly on his broom, and toss spike balls from above that can be countered with the [[Hammer]]. During this attack, he may accidentally toss a Mushroom that can heal the Bros. Kamek can also split up into 5 duplicates of himself, which only have 1HP each, and are almost indistinguishable from the real one. At a certain point in the battle, Kamek will fall off his broom and attack from the ground. He now uses a fireball attack that can be countered with the Hammer. Doing so will cause the fireball to hit Kamek and set him on fire; after which, he will charge at the Bro. he meant to shoot the fireball at in a state of panic. This can also be countered by the Hammer. After two turns, he will regain his broom once more. Around halfway through the battle, Kamek will also heal himself once. After his defeat, Kamek does not appear again until the epilogue after the defeat of the Shroobs, traveling back to Baby Bowser's Castle with Prince Bowser. | In battle, Kamek is able to fly on his broom, and toss spike balls from above that can be countered with the [[Hammer]].

Kamek sports an apron while on Yoshi's Island. He uses it to store important items such as his scepter and broom and is never shown performing such tasks as cooking or cleaning. Kamek's role as a parental figure | Kamek sports an apron while on Yoshi's Island. He uses it to store important items such as his scepter and broom and is never shown performing such tasks as cooking or cleaning. Kamek's role as a parental figure is a primary source of comic relief whenever he appears; he often has to perform duties similar to those of a normal parent, but twisted to fit with Bowser's need for villainy (for instance, getting Baby Bowser "evil milk" from "an evil cow"). | ||
