'''Kalypso''' is a female [[Kritter]] who makes her debut in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', where she is an unlockable character. Currently, she and [[Kass]] are the only female [[Kremling]] characters to have appeared in a game in the ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' series, although [[King K. Rool]] has been implied to have a wife in some games. Her name is derived from the style of lively Caribbean folk music known as "[[Wikipedia:Calypso music|calypso]]". Aside from her debut appearance she has only appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as a trophy and sticker. According to her European trophy description, she seems to have a high rank among the [[Kremling Krew]] as she is described as being a strong leader figure while having trust of the full crew, including [[King K. Rool]]. She is also good at sports and dancing and owns a clubhouse.

==History==
===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
[[File:AAA_DK_JetRace_kalypso.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Kalypso in ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''.]]
In her first appearance, Kalypso joins the races against their long lifetime rivals the [[Kongs]]. She is unlockable by beating the Sapphire Cup with a Kremling. She appears in the game as a rival for the character [[Tiny Kong]]; as such they share stats and have similar body composition. Kalypso has a claw attack and as all characters in the game she can also perform [[Wild Move|Wild Moves]]. 

Her bongos are designed to represent her purple palette and golden jewelry. She has top boost, good speed and medium agility. 

Aside from the main game she can be seen in various cutscenes. In the Single Racing cutscene Kalypso can be seen, alongside Kass, Kritter and [[Klump]], in front of their rivals, Tiny Kong, [[Lanky Kong]], [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Donkey Kong]]. In the Time Trial cutscene she can be seen along with [[Kopter]] and [[Diddy Kong]] as part of the public giving indications to the racers of where to go next by showing them a sign. 

She makes another appearance in one of [[Candy Challenges]] in Challenge # 14: '''Help Tiny Kong!'''. Donkey Kong has to help Tiny Kong beat Kalypso in a race; this challenge is level 2 in difficulty.

====''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''====
Kalypso also appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]] and a [[Trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', both of which are unlockable, and designed after her appearance in ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''. Her trophy mentions her beauty and her groovy hair as well as describing her stats and her clawing attack. Her sticker uses her artwork from ''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast'' and increases launch power. The European version of the game mentions that she owns a clubhouse and that she is good at sports and dancing, while also being a good leader.

==Character Description==
Kalypso has pale blue-green skin, a purple top with a skull design, purple claw polish, and blue jeans with a skull belt. Her hairstyle is a large purple afro. Her size complements Tiny Kong's; 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. She is also described as being a good leader who has the trust of all the Kremling Krew as well as having good reflexes. She is also good at sports and dancing, the latter never having been shown in games. Kalypso is known to own a clubhouse which is seen as an oasis by all the Kremlings.

| align=center | A cool beauty with chic makeup and groovy hair. Kalypso combines enough acceleration to break free from the pack with a respectable top speed. Her cornering is a bit weak, but good players should be able to overcome this. Her claw attack will get you...if her high-pitched laugh doesn't.
