'''Crystals''' are | '''Crystals''' are obstacles that appear only in ''Pikmin 3''. Crystals can contain objects like [[fragments]], [[pellet]]s and also [[fruit]]s, but their main purpose is to serve as blockades. Different types of crystal appear in the game, but all of them need [[Rock Pikmin]] to be broken – other Pikmin types will just tap away, only to give up after a bit. | ||

Large crystals are relatively big crystals. This the most common type of crystal; it appears in every area, except the [[Tropical Wilds]]. By throwing 10 Rock Pikmin at them, they will break. They can contain [[fruit]], [[fragments]], [[data files]], and even blobs of [[ultra-spicy spray]] in [[Mission Mode]]. In addition, the [[Onion#Gray|gray Onion]] is found in a large crystal. | |||

Crystal nodules aren't like other crystals: they don't block paths, contains objects or block [[geysers]], but are the main weapon of [[Skutterchuck]]s. Crystal nodules are very small, white crystals, and only need one single hit from a [[Rock Pikmin]] to break. If all crystal nodules in an area are broken, Skutterchucks will not respawn in the area. Crystal nodules do not respawn. | |||

While not given any specific name, the bodies of the [[Calcified Crushblat]] and [[Armored Mawdad]] are also covered in a thin layer of crystal. In addition, the [[Peckish Aristocrab]]'s larger claw is made out of crystal.
