==Nature and Abilities==
The '''Crystal King''' is the seventh boss in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. He guards the seventh and final [[Star Spirits|Star Spirit]], [[Kalmar]], in the [[Crystal Palace]].
The Crystal King is invisible, save for his robe, crown and floating yellow eyes. He can disappear and reappear altogether in a flurry of snowflakes.


The Crystal King is exceptionally powerful. He can levitate, summon [[Crystal Bits]] to use as ammunition and shoot freezing bolts of blue lightning. In desperation, the King can make fake clones of himself and recover his [[Heart Point|HP]]; if not beaten quick enough, the Crystal King will recover 20 HP at least three times, and his army of fake clones will unleash a powerful mist attack.
==History==
===''Paper Mario''===
[[File:Crystal King Boss.png|thumb|200px|left|The Crystal King attacks Mario.]]
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.


==Plot==
Crystal King has three phases. In his first phase (between 70 and 36 [[Heart Point|HP]]), he will only attack using the [[Crystal Bit]]s. 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. 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.
The Crystal King guards the last Star Spirit, [[Kalmar]], in the [[Crystal Palace]].


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 [[Duplighost]]s are impersonating him, and the real Crystal King is carried away by his Crystal Bits.

The Crystal King also makes an appearance in volume 27 of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''. Before the fight, the Crystal King announces his presence using Ice Bolt by freezing [[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 using smelly clothing, Kooper uses a flaming shell to defeat the Crystal King.

==Trivia==
*Although Crystal King is not weak to fire, he has no [[Defense|Defense Power]] towards it. This creates a rare situation where [[Fire Shell]] will deal more damage than expected, but not [[Fire Flower]]s.
*Crystal King's copies are indistinguishable from his real self, but if he creates them while under the effects of [[Chill Out (move)|Chill Out]], the arrows signifying its effect will appear on the copies with a slight delay which can be used to tell them apart.
