| | An '''Item Crystal''' is an object found exclusively in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. It is a three-layer crystal that can be found in multiple areas of the game. Item Crystals can be shattered using [[Mario]]'s [[Star Spin]] move; inside them are items such as [[Coin]]s, [[1-Up Mushroom]]s, and the occasional [[Boost Star]]s. There are also some that [[Toads]] are trapped inside of them. Most of these crystals contain star bits of which Mario can later feed to hungry lumas. Some of these crystals contain mushrooms like [[1-Up Mushroom]]s or [[Life Mushroom]]s. The quantity of star bits obtained will average from 3-10 mostly 4-6. |

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

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
| |
| [[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.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====

| |
| 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''===
| |
| 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 in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' can be seen on several planets on the [[World 8 (Dr. Mario World)|World 8]] map.
| |
| | |
| ===''Minecraft''===
| |
| In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Amethyst Shards are replaced by crystals.
