'''Crystals'''<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Random House Inc|date=May 23, 2010|page=16|isbn=978-0-30746-907-6}}</ref> appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' as quartz-like objects that typically hold objects or items, such as [[coin]]s, [[1-Up Mushroom]]s, and occasionally [[Launch Star]]s or [[Life Mushroom]]s. There are also octahedron crystals, which contain only power-ups. Most of these crystals contain [[Star Bit]]s; however, some may even contain [[Luma]]s or [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s, who help the player out once they are freed. Crystals sometimes contain enemies, namely [[Goomba]]s. The quantity of Star Bits obtained averages from three to ten, and most of the crystals found throughout the game contain four to six.


Crystals have fairly weak structures and can be shattered in both ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games by a variety of attacks, including [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]'s standard [[spin]], [[fireball]]s, [[Green Shell]]s and [[Red Shell]]s, and [[Rock Mario]]'s boulder attack.
A '''Crystal'''<ref>Browne, Catherine (May 23, 2010). ''Super Mario Galaxy 2: Prima Official Game Guide'', page 4.</ref> is an object found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are quartz-like objects that can be found in multiple areas of the levels in the two games, and typically hold objects or items.
 
Inside them are items such as [[coin]]s, [[1-Up Mushroom]]s, and the occasional [[Launch Star]] or [[Life Mushroom]]. There are also octahedron crystals which contain only power-ups. Most of these crystals contain [[Star Bit]]s; however, some may even contain [[Luma (species)|Luma]]s or [[Toad (species)|Toads]], who help the player out once they are freed.

There are also large, rare Crystals that contain [[Power Star]]s. Large Crystals require two spins to be shattered.

[[File:SMG Castle Spin.png|left|200px|thumb|Mario destroys some crystals.]]
Crystals in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' first appear during the introductory cutscene, where the [[Airship]]s are shown shooting crystal bits at Toads.

Crystals in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' retain their appearance and behavior. In the opening, they are seen dropping from the sky during [[Bowser]]'s attack on the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Anything hit by the crystal bits is trapped in a crystal, unable to move. Some crystals are also opaque, hiding whatever is inside until they are broken. These crystals have a rounder appearance than the transparent variety.


===''Mario Party 10''===
[[File:SMG Castle Spin.png|left|200px|thumb|Mario destroys some crystals]]
Three crystal-like recipients appear on different sides of the [[Rosalina Board]], containing Star Bits, in ''[[Mario Party 10]]''. When the player lands on an [[Event Space]], the crystal associated with it opens and empties itself of the Star Bits, commencing a short [[minigame]] where the player has to collect as many Star Bits as possible within a time limit.


===''Dr. Mario World''===
Crystals are first introduced in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They first appear during the introductory cut-scene, where the [[Airship]]s are shown shooting crystal bits at [[Toad (species)||Toads]].
