The '''Crystal Palace''' is a location where the final [[Star Spirits|Star Spirit]] is being held during the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]''. This palace is a 'mirror' filled castle with puzzles in every which way. [[Mario]] and his teammates must solve the puzzles and fight off many [[Duplighost|Duplighosts]] and [[White Clubba]]s to get to the boss. After solving the puzzles, they manage to reach the [[Crystal King]]. After they defeat him, they free the last Star Spirit, [[Kalmar]].


The '''Crystal Palace''' is where the last [[Star Spirits|Star Spirit]] is being held in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. This palace is a 'mirror' filled castle with puzzles in every which way. [[Mario]] and his teammates must solve the puzzles and fight off many [[Duplighost|Duplighosts]] and [[Clubba|White Clubba]]s to get to the boss. After solving the puzzles, they manage to reach the boss: the [[Crystal King]]. After they defeat him, they free the last Star Spirit, [[Kalmar]].
Comically, at one point in the palace, four Duplighosts pretend to be [[Kooper]] and say they are him, when in actuality they turned into [[Goompa]], [[Kolorado]], [[Koopa Koot]], and [[Luigi]], and act like them (with the Luigi one even calling Mario "Brother").


Many of the walls look like mirrors, but they're actually just glass, because the reflections are always [[Duplighost]]s in disguise. The palace has two areas, the front (main) area and the rooms behind the glass walls. Each will need to be inspected carefully, because going back and forth between them can be confusing, since they're almost exactly the same.

The Crystal Palace was once a shrine to the [[Star Spirits]], but it's location and how to get there became lost over time. The only way to reach it is a secret passage in [[Shiver Snowfield]] to [[Shiver Mountain]], where at the top is the palace. This is the last chapter before [[Bowser's Castle]], so try to solve everything.

==Enemies Found==
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Koopook]] mentions in his RDM to Mario that he is hiding in the Crystal Palace. The English script of the GameCube version mistranslates the Crystal Palace's Japanese name (''Kurisutā Shinden'') as '''Goomstar Temple''', a result of misinterpreting ''Kurisutā'' as a portmanteau of "[[Goomba]]" (''Kuribō'') and "star" (''sutā'') along with translating ''shinden'' more literally as "temple." In [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|the Switch remake]], this is correctly translated to "Crystal Palace."

The Albino Dino section.
“The Crystal Palace was originally built to honor the Stars... But as time passed, it slowly faded from the memories of local people... ...and now, no one can remember how to reach the palace.”
—Merle, Paper Mario

The Crystal Palace is a location where the final Star Spirit is being held during the events of Paper Mario. This palace is a 'mirror' filled castle with puzzles in every which way. Mario and his teammates must solve the puzzles and fight off many Duplighosts and White Clubbas to get to the boss. After solving the puzzles, they manage to reach the Crystal King. After they defeat him, they free the last Star Spirit, Kalmar.

Comically, at one point in the palace, four Duplighosts pretend to be Kooper and say they are him, when in actuality they turned into Goompa, Kolorado, Koopa Koot, and Luigi, and act like them (with the Luigi one even calling Mario "Brother").

Many of the walls look like mirrors, but they are actually just glass, because the reflections are always Duplighosts in disguise. The palace has two areas, the front (main) area and the rooms behind the glass walls. Each will need to be inspected carefully, because going back and forth between them can be confusing, since they are almost exactly the same.

The Crystal Palace was once a shrine to the Star Spirits, but its location and how to get there became lost over time. The only way to reach it is a secret passage in Shiver Snowfield to Shiver Mountain, where at the top is the palace.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Koopook mentions in his RDM to Mario that he is hiding in the Crystal Palace. The English script of the GameCube version mistranslates the Crystal Palace's Japanese name (Kurisutā Shinden) as Goomstar Temple, a result of misinterpreting Kurisutā as a portmanteau of "Goomba" (Kuribō) and "star" (sutā) along with translating shinden more literally as "temple." In the Switch remake, this is correctly translated to "Crystal Palace."
