'''Crystals''' are | '''Crystals''' are [[obstacle]]s that appear in ''Pikmin 3'' and ''Hey! Pikmin''. Although there are [[#Other types|several objects made of crystal-like materials]] in the game, the standard crystal obstacle is a see-through rock. Crystals can contain objects inside, like [[fragments]], [[pellet]]s, and also [[fruit]]s, but their main purpose is to serve as blockades. Despite there being different types of crystal-related objects, all of them need [[Rock Pikmin]] or [[bomb-rock]]s to be broken – other Pikmin types will just tap away, only to give up after a bit. | ||

In {{p3}}, 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]].

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. In ''Pikmin 3'', these objects are thrown by Skutterchucks, while in ''Hey! Pikmin'', they are dropped. In ''Hey! Pikmin'', they also aren't found lying around, and are rather obtained when Skutterchucks walk through certain crystals. According to the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]], they are the cast-off shells of juvenile [[Calcified Crushblat]]s. | 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.

In {{hp}}, | In {{hp}}, icicle crystals are crystals that look like icicles. When Olimar and/or his Pikmin approach one of these, the crystals will fall on them, killing or harming the crew. In order to avoid this, the player must trick the crystal into falling and then getting out of its way. This obstacle isn't mentioned by the characters in any way, so its name is conjectural. | ||

Those crystals are united together, making some kind of crystal nests. Like all other crystals, they can be destroyed by [[Rock Pikmin]]. They're one and a half times taller than [[Olimar]], and he can walk on them, but not through them. Unlike any other crystals in the series, the nest actually displays a health bar when attacked, similar to enemies. | ||
