'''Kalmar''' is one of the seven [[Star Spirits]] found in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He is the star spirit designated to the [[Crystal King]] to guard in his very own [[Crystal Palace]]. As his name implies, he is very calm and hates fighting and arguments. His name is also the same as the Swedish city Kalmar, a fact possibly taken into consideration in the game's development when choosing to place him in a very cold area.


In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', Kalmar is the guide of the options mode.
