* Kamek, the Magikoopa master from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', has been retroactively established as being in some of the games that featured a Magikoopa since his first appearance in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. ''Yoshi's Safari'' featured an unnamed Magikoopa as a boss, now he's Kamek's first official appearance. Some appearances by a singular Magikoopa have also been considered Kamek appearances: the Magikoopa who teaches Bowser how to use his abilities and cares for the injured Koopa King in ''Bowser's Inside Story''; the Magikoopa who blasted Mario away from Peach's Castle in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' ([https://web.archive.org/web/20140710154444/http://www.mariowiki.com/images/9/9b/KamekTradingCard.PNG confirmed by an official trading card]); the Magikoopa who was going to be in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' but was replaced by [[Donkey Kong]]; and a Magikoopa who informed Kammy Koopa of Peach's abduction in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The Magikoopa the party fights in Bowser's Keep in ''[[Super Mario RPG]]'' was intended to be Kamek, which is made more clear by his Japanese Psychopath message, which reads "The baby from that time!?" {{spoiler|He's called Kamezard in the Japanese version of the game.}}
** More of a case of [[Did Not Do the Research]] on Nintendo of America's part. In Japan, "Kamek" is a single character ([[Negative Continuity|or species in some games]]) with minions called Kokameks (Toadies in English). This distinction has for the most part been preserved in non-English translations.
*** Alternatively, this could be considered as an attempt by the localisers to add some internal logic to the series, given the confused nature of Kamek/Magikoopa appearances between Mario games.
