First I shall defeat you, and then I will present to King Bowser an iced Mario gift!
~ Crystal King

Background

The Crystal King is the seventh boss in Paper Mario. He guards the seventh and final Star Spirit, Kalmar, in the Crystal Palace.

The Crystal King appears at the end of the Crystal Palace, which Mario visits during chapter 7. He gradually appears when Mario approaches him, and declares that he will defeat Mario before attacking.

The Crystal King can levitate, summon Crystal Bits to use as ammunition and shoot freezing beams. In desperation, he can make fake clones of himself and recover his HP; if not beaten quickly enough, the Crystal King will recover 20 HP at least three times, and he and his copies use a blizzard attack. The Crystal King and its copies are indistinguishable.

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, to his surprise.

  1. "If you're familiar with things like Popeye and some of the old comic characters, you would oftentimes see this cast of characters that takes on different roles depending on the comic or cartoon," Miyamoto said. "They might be businessman in one [cartoon] or a pirate in another. Depending on the story that was being told, they would change roles. So, to a certain degree, I look at our characters in a similar way and feel that they can take on different roles in different games."
