The '''Crystal King''' is the final boss in possession of a [[Star Spirit]] that [[Mario]] had to face before his final confrontation with [[Bowser]] in the game  ''[[Paper Mario]]''.

==History==
The Crystal King guarded the last [[Star Spirit]], [[Kalmar]], in the [[Crystal Palace]]. Crystal King's body is invisible and he can also make his cloak and crown invisible too. Crystal King can fly, summon [[Crystal Bit]]s and shoot ice beams. When he gets desperate, he begins copying himself and recovering HP.

When Mario defeats him, Crystal King says, "Oh no! The last Star Spirit!! King Bowser, forgive meeeeeeeee!!". He then spins out of control and disappears while sparks are flying away from him.

Like the other characters, Crystal King appears in the parade at the end during the credits. Two Duplighosts are impersonating him, and the real Crystal King is carried away by his Crystal Bits.

*''King's Tattle:'' He's one of Bowser's main guys. I don't know how he managed to take over this palace, but... He'll attack you by summoning and launching Crystal Bits. The power of each attack is 4. The number of times he attacks equals the number of Crystal Bits he's deployed. He'll also try to freeze you whenever he can. When his HP is low, he may try to divide and conquer. The power of this attack is 8. You can hurt him only by attacking his real body. If you don't know which one's the main body, you should attack all of them. Pretty brilliant, eh?
*''Copy's Tattle:'' I think this is a deceptive duplicate of the Crystal King. Since it's just an illusion, all of your attacks will just go through it. Just a reminder, Mario... You must damage the real one.
|moves=Crystal Bit Spit (4), Ice Bolt (6; frozen), Mist (8; after copying), Copy (Copies twice) Recover (+20 HP), Air Copies (copies twice in air)

|tattle=This is a Crystal Bit. Basically, Crystal Bits are just pieces of the Crystal King. You can drop 'em with ease. Their Max HP is 1 and they're only dangerous when the Crystal King spews 'em out. Their defense power is 0. These guys are pretty weak. They'll keep coming, though, until you've finally beaten the Crystal King.

===Crystal King===
The Crystal King is incredibly powerful and Mario's survival is not guaranteed. If not beaten quick enough, the Crystal King will recover 20 [[HP]] at least three times. [[Mario]] should equip [[badge]]s that can bypass defense, as well and multi-strike badges.

[[Watt]] comes in handy because her main attack can breach defense and doesn't use FP. When Crystal King clones himself, Mario should use any multi-strike [[items]] he has (items such as [[Thunder Rage]]). The special attacks [[Time Out]] and [[Star Storm]] are also recommended.

===Crystal Bit===
'''Crystal Bits''' are jewels that belong to the [[Crystal King]]. They assist him in his battle with [[Mario]] during the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They can be destroyed quickly with a multi-hitting attack, like multibounce or [[Thunder Rage]]. Crystal King can summon them several times throughout battle, using up a turn.

Although they are easily defeated, it is more advantageous to leave them in the battle because when they are gone the [[Crystal King]] will shoot a bolt of ice at Mario, dealing 8 damage and possibly freezing him. If properly defended against, the barrage of Crystal Bits can do significantly less damage.

==Trivia==
*Although probably a coincidence, there is a treasure in the game ''Pikmin 2'' called the Crystal King.
*The Crystal Bits both resemble and serve a similar purpose as the [[Elemental Crystals]] do to [[Culex]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''.
