In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Magikoopa appears on [[Bowser's Warped Orbit]]. If a player lands on the nearby [[Green Space]], he switches that character's [[Candy (Mario Party 8)|candy]] with someone else's. He also makes an appearance on [[Shy Guy's Perplex Express]]. If the player lands on a particular Green Space, Magikoopa is summoned, remarks that the train could use a little mixing up (or in initial English releases, recites a rhyming spell that does the same thing), and sends the front train car to the back.

Kamek returns as a character included in Wave 5 of the Booster Course Pass.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Qo6afYUo_w]</ref> This marks his first appearance in a mainstream title of the ''Mario Kart'' series after previously being scrapped in the original ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. He is a middleweight driver, sharing statistics with [[Luigi]] and [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]], while his horn sound is his speaking sound effect from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. Kamek uses the turquoise [[Peach Parasol (glider)|Peach Parasol]] glider, making him and [[Funky Kong]] the only male characters (not counting [[Wiggler]], whose gender is unknown) to use a recolor of the glider.

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.

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 was a primary source of comic relief whenever he appeared; he would often have to perform duties similar to those of a normal parent, but twisted to fit with Bowser's need for evil (for instance, he once had to get Baby Bowser 'evil milk' from 'an evil cow').
