'''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.

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.
