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. | Kapp'n is a sea-faring ''{{iw|wikipedia|kappa|folklore}}'', though he is occasionally referred to as a turtle.

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.'' | In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Kapp'n debuts as an [[Assist Trophy]].
