'''Kapp'n''' ({{ja|かっぺい|Kappei}}, ''Kappei'', known as {{ja|うんてんしゅ| Untenshu}} Driver in the Japanese versions of ''Wild World'' and ''City Folk'', as well as ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'') is a character from the ''{{uv|Animal Crossing}} series''.
'''Kapp'n''' ({{ja|かっぺい|Kappei}}, ''Kappei'') is a character from the {{uv|Animal Crossing}} series. In his appearance from ''Animal Crossing: Wild World'' and ''City Folk'', he is referred to in Japanese as {{ja|うんてんしゅ|Untenshu}} (''Driver'').

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|GCN}}''. 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, 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 ''Animal Crossing: Wild World'', he shuttles the player into town through taxi, while in ''Animal Crossing: City Folk'', he drives a bus to and from the player's local city. In ''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, [[List_of_SSB4_trophies_(Animal_Crossing_series)#Leilani|Leilani]]; his daughter, [[List_of_SSB4_trophies_(Animal_Crossing_series)#Leila|Leila]]; and his mother, [[List_of_SSB4_trophies_(Animal_Crossing_series)#Grams|Grams]].

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. [[Training Mode]] describes his Assist Trophy: ''Takes opponents who are hit by the bus off of the screen. Can't be KO'd.'' He also reprises his appearances in Smashville, Tortimer Island, and Town and City.

Kapp'n (かっぺい, Kappei) is a character from the Animal Crossing series. In his appearance from Animal Crossing: Wild World and City Folk, he is referred to in Japanese as うんてんしゅ (Driver).

Origin[edit]

A player boarding the bus at the Bus Stop

Kapp'n is a sea-faring kappa, 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 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, 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 Animal Crossing: Wild World, he shuttles the player into town through taxi, while in Animal Crossing: City Folk, he drives a bus to and from the player's local city.

In 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, Leilani; his daughter, Leila; and his mother, Grams. He was later added in version 2.0 of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, where he now ferries a player to several exotic islands with unique seasonal changes and a buried gyroid fragment for the player to dig up and take home to grow into a 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.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

Kapp'n appears as a trophy and a sticker in Brawl, using his appearance from Animal Crossing: Wild World. Additionally, his taxi appears in the background of Smashville, as well.

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U[edit]

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

In Smash Tour[edit]

In Smash Tour, Kapp'n can be seen inside the Bus to the City as a blue item. Players can use Bus to the City at the beginning of a turn to warp all other players to their location on the map.
