Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: Kamek doesn't die or explode like most of the game's bosses when you defeat him, he simply books it out of town while leaving his star behind.
But actually landing that hit is an uphill battle thanks to the unpredictable, eratic way he flies around town.
One-Hit-Point Wonder: Kamek can only take hit before fleeing. Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Tricks Mario into recovering the wand used to curse the village, then leaves him to get arrested instead. "Get Back Here!" Boss: While he can attack by slinging spells at Mario, the real challenge isn't dodging them, but chasing and hitting the slippery wizard. This usually results in the town being flooded with Goombas given how hard he is to hit. Flunky Boss: If his spells miss Mario, they'll turn into Goombas. Burn the Witch!: Would have suffered this fate at the hands of the townspeople for cursing the town, had Mario not come along. Once Mario frees him, he later returns to try and burn the town to the ground. Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: He pretends to be an innocent Toad falsely accused of witchcraft, but he actually is guilty of everything the townspeople have accused him of. Kamek curses the town to be haunted by spirits, only to get captured by the townspeople. One of the canon Mario characters, Kamek is the boss of Dusky Doomed Dale.
