Hey everyone! I’m here to continue on my last post about things from the Super Mario Universe series that didn’t find their way to Wattpad. Enjoy!
Kamek - Perhaps no character experiences as much character development as Kamek. Over time, he goes from Bowser’s sidekick to being the true main antagonist of the entire series. As you know, Kamek worked with Bowser in the first book before they were defeated. He returned along with Bowser in the sixth book and became a recurring villain from then on, hatching his own schemes. He secretly plans to one day take over the world in his own name, not Bowser’s. In the final book, he and Bowser invade the Mushroom Kingdom for a final time, wreaking havoc on the country. He later betrays his fellow villains, taking all power for himself and killing Bowser and Fawful, who just joined their team. Kamek accomplishes more than any villain previously had. Ultimately, Mario defeats Kamek in what is the ultimate final battle of the series.
Sir Grodus - In the eighth book, Mario faces an epic showdown with Sir Grodus, a leader of the X-Nauts. 1,000 years ago, Grodus and his army of X-Nauts invaded the Mushroom Kingdom after the Astrostar fell from space. Grodus wanted to use it to unlock the Thousand Year Door, which unleashes the power of dreams and nightmares. However, he and fellow X-Naut leader Beldam clash over the star and it ended up breaking into 5 pieces scattered over the kingdom. Soon defeated, the X-Nauts returned to the moon. 1,000 years later, the Astrostar has begun to reawaken, and Mario is tasked with finding the pieces by the royal court. After Mario completes the star, Grodus brings him to the moon where he steals the Astrostar and opens up the Thousand Year Door, unleashing nightmares upon the universe. Mario teams up with Beldam, and with the X-Nauts defeat Grodus and seal the door. Grodus is dethroned by Beldam and flies away into space. He returns for a moment in the final book where he reminisces on his plan.
