You are not off topic at all, we can discuss Yoshi's enemies here. :boshi:

What confused me is when I googled Kamek this was at the top of the page:

"Kamek is a Magikoopa who acts like a maternal figure to Bowser and who took care of Baby Bowser during the events of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, and Yoshi's Island DS."
mario.fandom.com › wiki › Kamek, googled

Maternal:

relating to a mother, especially during pregnancy or shortly after childbirth.
"maternal care"

*denoting feelings associated with or typical of a mother; motherly.
  • "maternal instincts"
Opposite: Paternal

But then in Super Mario Wiki Kamek is described as a he:

"Kamek (referred to as Magikoopa on occasion) is an old yet powerful Magikoopa, adviser to Bowser[1] and a high-ranking member in the Koopa Troop. He is the archenemy of Yoshi and serves as one of the secondary antagonists in the Mario franchise, alongside Bowser Jr., and is one of the two main villains of the Yoshi franchise, alongside Baby Bowser."


Do you think google and that other Mario Wiki is confusing Kamek with Kammy Koopa?

Kammy Koopa


Or does it mean Kamek though a male Magikoopa acting like a mother to Bowser Jr.?
 
It might have to do with Fandom/Gamepedia being owned by corporate and can afford to do SEO shenganigans and have higher search results.

I suspect Kamek is involved in these shenanigans.
