Crystal King (Mario)

Crystal King is the Chapter 7 boss in Paper Mario. He works for Bowser and guards Kalmar, the seventh Star Spirit. He took over the Crystal Palace. The White Clubbas were afraid of getting him angry, and would apparently rather be killed by Mario then by him.

Mario encountered the Crystal King in the Crystal Palace and defeated him. Crystal King dissolved into snow.

In the credits parade, two Duplighosts imitated the Crystal King.

Battle
Crystal King has 70 HP, an attack power of 5, and 2 defense. He has three Crystal Bits which can be killed by one attack. He will spit any Crystal Bits he has at Mario for 4 damage each. The easiest way to defeat him it to destroy two of the Crystal Bits, because if all three are gone, he will use an ice beam to freeze Mario. After a while, he will stop summoning Crystal Bits and start using the ice beam. The freezing effect can be guarded against with A. Crystal King can also split into three, in which the two fakes will only disappear if the original is attacked. He can also heal for 20 HP, twice.
