Psycho Kamek is a white-robed Magikoopa ally who appears in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. He makes his debut appearance during the Little Fungitown chapter, after Mario is poisoned by an Invincishroom. Luigi wants to go to Guffawha ruins so his brother can get a cure, but is forced this Magikoopa a visit and request him to help Luigi his fear of the Guffawha Monster. It should be noted that despite his name, Psycho Kamek should not be confused with the real Kamek, who himself was named after the Magikoopa race's Japanese name.

Profile[]

Physical description[]

Psycho Kamek MLSS sprite

Psycho Kamek is a Magikoopa dressed in white robes and hat, with red trimmings around the ends. He also wears swirly glasses, similar to those of Professor Elvin Gadd.

Powers and abilities[]

  • Magic: Psycho Kamek is able to use magic like all Magikoopas by using his magic wand.
    • Hypnotism: Psycho Kamek can put his patients in a deep trance and make them think whatever Psycho Kamek makes them believe of, in which whatever case can dramatically and effectively change their mood and personality traits. However, if the hypnotized patient is hit by lightning, the effects of the trance will wear out and the patient will return back to normal.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga[]

During the events of the game, Mario had come down with Bean Fever, Luigi had to go to Little Fungitown, the home of Psycho Kamek to gain Crabbie Grass as a cure for the Bean Fever. In the area, he found Psycho Kamek, a hypnotist. He lacked courage to go find Mario by himself, so he went to Psycho Kamek to hypnotize him into thinking he is Mario. When Psycho Kamek calmed down, he saw that Luigi looked a lot like his brother and accidentally thought Luigi was Mario's number one fan and then Luigi had been hypnotized.

He can be referred to as psychotic, hence the name as he tried to hypnotize a Toad into believing he was himself. Occasionally, Psycho Kamek attempts to hypnotize himself in front of his mirror, making the residents of Little Fungitown call him Psycho Kamek.

The music that is playing when Psycho Kamek hypnotizes Luigi with his magic is the same music played in the Chateau de Chucklehuck. In the remake, this is changed to the standard Chucklehuck Woods theme.
