The King's crystal seems to be the only one which has markings all over it.Even the main facade of the Evil Wizard's castle is decorated with many crystal-like motifs, which could make one speculate if the whole castle was made from magical crystals. Some of them have skeletons of unfortunate victims embedded in them. Starting from Wizard Castle Takeoff and throughout all of the Wizard Castle Interior, many similar crystals can be found scattered in the background.Destroying each one of these crystals will remove a magic barrier and allow access to the next boss fight. The game was originally supposed to be a variation on the mega-hit 'Asteroids' and the working title was Toporoids (from TOPOgraphics and asteROIDS). In the Wizard Castle Interior, the King's knights have to destroy three purple crystal-like formations, each guarded by one of the Evil Wizard's loyal servants: the Painter, the Undead Cyclops (with the Undead Groom), and the Necromancer. When it first appeared in arcades in July 1983, Crystal Castles amazed players with its sharp graphics and pseudo 3-D mazes.One time that its powers are in fact shown is in the Final Battle, where the Evil Wizard uses it to spawn four crystal shards to attack the King's knights. Not much is known about the crystal's powers, but considering that it is worth to start a war only to obtain it, and without regards of how many lives are lost for this purpose, it is implied that those who possess it will be granted an incredible amount of power. The Evil Wizard will suddenly appear riding the crystal and take the princess away, abandoning the Industrial Prince to his fate. After destroying the Industrial Machine, the Industrial Prince will grab the Orange Princess, run to the castle's balcony and get cornered there by the King's knights. 'Crystal Castles' was one of the first arcade games with an actual ending.
The crystal is seen once more at the end of the Industrial Castle. Which 3D game has Bentley the bear collecting gems while avoiding enemy trees, bees, ghosts, skeletons, and Berthilda the witch Crystal Castles. Before the Necromancer resurrects the petrified corpses of Volcano Town's villagers, you can see the Evil Wizard riding on the crystal. The next time the crystal is seen is in Lava World. At the start of the game, after successfully storming into the King's castle with an army of barbarians and slaughtering most of the King's forces, the Evil Wizard approaches him and, with a couple of swings of his magic wand, releases the crystal from behind the King's throne, then he climbs on top of it and escapes from the castle, sparing the King's life as he decides he doesn't present a threat now that he has the crystal in his hands.
