| '''Kalypso''' is a female [[Kremling]] who makes her first and only physical appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', where she is an unlockable character. She and [[Kass]] are the only two female Kremling characters, not counting [[King K. Rool]]'s [[List of implied characters#King K. Rool's wife|implied wife]]. Kalypso has pale blue-green skin, red eyes, a purple top with a skull on it, purple claw polish, blue jeans with a white belt, and golden jewelry around her neck, left wrist and tail. Kalypso has a large purple afro, and she is only one of three Kremlings to have hair, the other two being Kass and [[Kasplat]]. Kalypso is about the same height as Tiny. Kalypso's name is derived from "{{wp|calypso music|calypso}}," a style of lively Caribbean folk music.

| ==History==
| | '''Kalypso''' is an [[unlockable]] character in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. Kalypso is a female [[Kritter]] designed to rival [[Tiny Kong]], and as such has the same stats, as well as a similar body composition. Currently, she and [[Kass]] are the only female [[Kremling]] characters in the ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' series. |
| ===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
| |
| In ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'', Kalypso joins the Kremlings in a racing competition against the [[Kong]]s. She is an unlockable character and is unlocked by winning the [[Sapphire Cup]] with a Kremling. She appears in the game as a rival for [[Tiny Kong]]; as such they share stats and have similar body compositions. Kalypso slashes with her claws as her attack. Her bongos are designed to represent her purple palette and golden jewelry. She has top boost and good speed, but below-average agility similar to Tiny.

| |
|
| Aside from the main game, Kalypso also appears in various cutscenes. In the Single Racing cutscene, Kalypso can be seen, alongside Kass, [[Kritter]] and [[Klump]], in front of their rivals, Tiny Kong, [[Dixie Kong]], [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Lanky Kong]]. In the Time Trial cutscene, she can be seen along with [[Kopter]] and [[Diddy Kong]] as part of the public giving indications to Kass and Lanky Kong of which lap they are on by showing them a sign. She makes another appearance in [[Candy's Challenges|Candy's Challenge #14: Help Tiny Kong!]], where Donkey Kong has to help Tiny Kong beat Kalypso in a race.

| ====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
| | Kalypso also appears as a [[sticker]] and a [[Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Both of which are unlockable, and designed after her appearance in ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''. |
| [[File:KalypsoBT.png|thumb|x200px|Trophy model in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'']] | |
| Kalypso also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] and a [[trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], both of which can be obtained in single-player modes at random. The Kalypso sticker can be applied to any fighter, and doing so boosts their launch power by 26 points in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]]. Kalypso's original trophy description, also translated for British English and Korean localizations, mentions that she owns a clubhouse, is talented at sports and dancing, and a good leader. In American English releases, Kalypso's trophy description was rewritten to instead focus on her ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' rather than details about herself.

| ====''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''==== | | ==Character Description== |
| Kalypso reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a Novice-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. When used on a fighter, it takes up one support slot and equips them with a [[Rocket Belt]] at the start of a battle. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the spirit is located in a small forested area at the southwest of the Light Realm. In its corresponding battle, the player has to win against a team of four [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendys]] on the [[Kongo Falls]] stage. The core obtained from Kalypso's spirit can be combined with Don Flamenco's core to summon [[Jimmy T]]'s spirit. | | Kalypso has pale blue-green skin, a purple top with a skull design, and blue jeans with a skull belt. Her hairstyle is a large purple afro. Her size compliments Tiny Kongs, as such they rival each other in her debut appearance. Kalypso has been described as a cool and attractive character, but it is said she has an irritating laugh. |
