It sank [[Jonathan Jones]]' [[Sunken Ship|ship]] (as chronicled in various logs found throughout the vessel) and was locked in the Treasure Room. [[Mario]] has to work out a six-letter word before he can enter the Treasure Room using clues provided in various rooms of the ship. After Mario learns the word is "pearls", King Calamari allows him in the Treasure Room to battle. | ||

When the battle starts, the player encounters three tentacles in each of the first two sequences; the tentacles attack by either slamming a party member or throwing one high into the air. The latter attack does not reduce a party member's HP, but it induces the [[Fear]] status effect regardless of immunity. The last sequence is fought against King Calamari's main body and two other tentacles. Even if King Calamari is defeated, the remaining tentacles need to be destroyed to finish the battle. | When the battle starts, the player encounters three tentacles in each of the first two sequences; the tentacles attack by either slamming a party member or throwing one high into the air.

* | *King Calamari's name is from ''calamari'', a term for edible, fried squids. "Calamari" is also the word for ''squid'' in Greek and Italian; in Spanish, the word for ''squid'' is similar, "calamar." However, King Calamari was most likely named directly after the food term. | ||
*In the | *In the Japanese version of the game, the password to get to King Calamari is「すいぞくかん」(''suizokukan''), which translates to "aquarium" rather than "pearls." | ||
*The "tentacles" appear to actually be arms, as the suction cups travel all the way up, as opposed to simply being on the end. | |||
