King Calamari is the name of a giant Blooper in the Sea of Super Mario RPG. It sank Johnny Jones' ship and was locked in the treasure room. Mario had to work out a six letter word before he can enter the treasure room. This word is Pearls, and after Mario works it out, King Calamari allows Mario in the treasure room, where he is battled as a boss. Unlike normal squids, King Calamari has eight tentacles rather than ten. There are various logs throughout the ship referring to the squid and the calamity it caused.
Trivia
- King Calimari's name is derived from "calimari", a term for edible, fried squids. "Calimari" (from which the food calimari's name is derived) is also the word for "squid" in Spanish, Greek, and Italian, making it an indirect namesake; however, King Calamari was most likely named after the food term.
- Interesting enough, King Calamari resembles Gooper Blooper, and probably may be a specie of Gooper Blooper.
- King Calamari's name should not be confused with the Kalimari Desert, a race course in Mario Kart 64. Obviously there are no connections with a marine animal like King Calamari and the dry Kalimari Desert.
