Kapp'n is a sea-faring ''{{iw|wikipedia|kappa|folklore}}'', though he is occasionally referred to as a turtle. His first appearance was in ''Dōbutsu no Mori+'' for the Nintendo GameCube, which was later localized as ''{{iw|Nookipedia|Animal Crossing}}''. He would ferry players to their town's local island as long as a [[Game Boy Advance]] was connected via Link Cable. Along the way, [[nookipedia:Kapp'n's Song|he would sing shanties]], make wry comments, and flirt with female players. This started a trend of Kapp'n transporting players to new places: in ''{{iw|Nookipedia|Animal Crossing: Wild World}}'', he shuttles the player into town through taxi, while in ''{{iw|Nookipedia|Animal Crossing: City Folk}}'', he drives a bus to and from the player's local city.

In ''{{iw|Nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Leaf}}'', he returns to his original role of ferrying players to the local island. ''New Leaf'' also introduced his extended family: his wife, {{iw|Nookipedia|Leilani}}; his daughter, {{iw|Nookipedia|Leila}}; and his mother, {{iw|Nookipedia|Grams}}. He was later added in [[nookipedia:Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Update history/2.0|version 2.0]] of {{iw|Nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Horizons}}, where he now ferries a player to [[nookipedia:Boat tour|several exotic islands]] with unique seasonal changes and a buried {{iw|nookipedia:Item|Gyroid fragment|New Horizons}} for the player to dig up and take home to grow into a {{iw|Nookipedia|gyroid}}.

His appearance as an Assist Trophy in ''Ultimate'' is based on his appearance in ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'' where he would take the player to the City by bus.

Kapp'n appears as a [[background character]] in the [[Tortimer Island]] stage, now using his appearance from ''{{iw|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: New Leaf}}''. He drives his motorboat, creating a temporary platform on either side of the stage.

Kapp'n makes a cameo in the [[Town and City]] stage, driving the bus from his ''{{iw|nookipedia|Animal Crossing: City Folk}}'' appearance. Once again, his taxi from ''Wild World'' can be seen in the background of Smashville.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Kapp'n debuts as an [[Assist Trophy]]. When summoned, he will get in his bus and drive it across the stage, turning around at edges and occasionally jumping the bus up into the air. Any fighter hit by his bus will get trapped inside, after which Kapp'n will drive it towards a [[blast line]], potentially causing an [[OHKO]]. Any player caught inside can mash buttons to escape, after which Kapp'n will resume driving erratically across the stage, potentially capturing another player. As with other items that grab the player and carry them away like the [[Beetle]] and [[Boss Galaga]], the higher the damage the captive has, the more difficult it will be to escape. If Kapp'n succeeds in driving a player past a blast line, he is then removed from play. Like the [[Thwomp]], his bus is indestructible and therefore he cannot be defeated. [[Training Mode]] describes his Assist Trophy: ''Takes opponents who are hit by the bus off of the screen. Can't be KO'd.''

==Trivia==
*Kapp'n is the only Assist Trophy from a major universe who can’t appear on any stage from his own series, as he appears as a background character in all 3 ''Animal Crossing'' stages: Smashville, Tortimer Island, and Town and City.
