Donkey Kong Barrel Blast

In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, Kalypso joins the Kremlings in a racing competition against the Kongs. 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.
