'''Crystal''' is the second area that [[Kirby]] visits in [[The Great Cave Offensive]]. The area has 16 [[Treasure]]s. It is the only area inside of the cave that resembles an actual cave, and is lined with crystals (presumably made of quartz), and many underwater sections. The boss of this area is [[Computer Virus]].

==Synopsis==
The first room that Kirby enters will place him in a vertical column chamber, with the way down leading into water. There are two treasures here.

The second room is a hub of sorts, with four doorways accessible from the main area. The top door leads to a save room, and the lower three leads off to different sections of the cave. There are no treasures here.

The leftmost door leads to an open area of the cave, where switches can be pressed to create waterfalls that bust through certain walls. There are seven treasures here.

The lower middle door from the hub room leads to a largely underwater section of the cave. There are a great deal of winding tunnels and nooks and crannies here. There are three treasures here.

The rightmost door leads into a more brightly colored section of the cave, which is an open passage leading further off to the right. Lots of quick enemies await Kirby in this room. There are four treasures here.

From here, the boss room awaits (details in the Boss section below).

===Boss: Computer Virus===
{{main|Computer Virus}}
[[File:Computer Virus Fight.png|thumb|right|250px|Kirby beats the poor puppet to death.]]
The room before the boss fight contains three [[Copy Essence]]s, holding the [[Fighter]], [[Wing]] and [[Jet]] abilities.

From there, the main chamber is a big open space, where Kirby will need to keep moving until he is stopped by a series of computer desktop windows that appear. The fight with [[Computer Virus]], as this [[Boss]] is known, takes place in a turn-based fashion, like a traditional Japanese RPG. Kirby has to face down against three opponents (a Slime, a Puppet, and a Magician), one after the other, and can't attack them until it's 'his turn'. Meanwhile, when it's the enemy's turn to attack, Kirby does have the option of dodging or raising his [[Guard]].

Once all three opponents are defeated, the screens slowly disappear, while telling Kirby which non-existent attributes he just leveled up. From there, Kirby can take the [[Cart]] to reach the next area of the cave, the [[Old Tower]].
