| Latest appearance | Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch) (2023) |
The Earth Crystal is an enemy encountered in battle alongside the optional boss Culex in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Like Culex and the other crystals, they are from the dimension of Vanda and met in a portal leading to that world found in Monstro Town.
The Earth Crystal has the highest amount of HP out of all of the four crystals, but balances out with a dismal defense of 70.
Despite being the crystal of earth, it only has two earth-based attacks, Boulder and Sand Storm. It also wields Storm and Water Blast. It finishes up with the move Blast.
It is weak against Thunder-based attacks.
In the Nintendo Switch remake, the Earth Crystal initially returns in the Culex boss fight where it retains its two-dimensional 16-bit appearance, offering a stark contrast to the game's revamped and updated 3D graphics. However, a post-game rematch gives it a full model, called Earth Crystal 3D, as well as the other crystals and its master. In this form, defeating it causes it to use Valor Force before shattering, giving all its allies a defense boost.
