The Crystal King is the seventh boss in Paper Mario. He is an invisible crystal being who guards the seventh and final Star Spirit, Kalmar, in the Crystal Palace.
History[edit]
Paper Mario[edit]
The Crystal King appears at the end of the Crystal Palace, which Mario visits during Chapter 7. He suddenly reveals himself when Mario approaches him, and declares that he will defeat and freeze Mario and hand him over to Bowser, before engaging Mario in battle.
Crystal King has three phases. In his first phase (between 70 and 36 HP), he will only attack using the Crystal Bits. In his second phase (between 35 and 21 HP), he will stop using Crystal Bits, and instead shoot freezing beams and create fake clones with whom he can make a stronger blizzard attack if not dispelled in time. If the Crystal Bits were defeated prior to his attack, he will shoot ice beams in the first phase. In his third phase (below 21 HP), he will also make himself and his illusions levitate. When beneath 38 HP, the Crystal King can also recover 20 HP up to twice, however, this will not revert him to an earlier phase.
When Mario defeats him, Crystal King says: "Oh no! The last Star Spirit!! King Bowser, forgive meeeeeeeee!!" before spinning and disappearing in a flurry of sparks.
Like the other bosses, Crystal King appears in the parade at the end during the credits. Two Duplighosts are impersonating him. The real Crystal King removes their disguises and proceeds to berate them until he is carried away by his Crystal Bits, much to his surprise.
Super Mario-kun[edit]
The Crystal King also makes an appearance in volume 27 of Super Mario-kun. Before the fight, the Crystal King announces his presence by using Ice Bolt to freeze Kooper. The Crystal King borrows his attacks from the original game, such as hurling Crystal Bits and creating duplicates of himself. After an assortment of attacks — including Mario's use of smelly clothing — Kooper uses a flaming shell to defeat the Crystal King.

| Tattle | This is the Crystal King. He's one of Bowser's main guys. I don't know how he managed to take over this palace, but... Max HP: 70, Attack Power: 6, Defense Power: 2 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 gets 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? | ||||||||

| 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. Max HP: 70, Attack Power: 5, Defense Power: 0 Just a reminder, Mario... You must damage the real one. | ||||||||
