A crag-vision is a television found in The Land of the Cragnons. It was invented by the Cragnons and Cragnons watch many shows here. The crag-vision itself is made of stone that is somewhat shaped like a television set, outputting what resembles crudely-animated chalk drawings.

Crag-visions give out clues to Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser, and the Pixls telling them what to do. For example, the first crag-vision seen in Super Paper Mario has a man running around a Yoshi shaped statue. This is a clue telling the heroes to run around the statue. Other "shows" that may be found on a crag-vision is a flame, giving the player a hint that the characters must be used to burn something. The last of the three crag-vision pictures is a visual of a person swimming in water, giving the player a hint that the character must swim underwater.

There is another "show" that Flint Cragley stars on, called Flint Cragley, Cragtrotter, but it is not seen in-game.

The crag-vision is similar in concept to the Koopasonic Rock TV from the Super Mario World cartoon.
