'''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)|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.

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 translated more accurately to presumably refer to Baby Mario.
