Crystal Area is one of four areas appearing underground Dream Land in The Great Cave Offensive. The area precedes the Old Tower Area and comes after Sub-Tree Area.
As its name suggests, almost the entire area is made of crystals, gems, etc. The area splits into three paths after the Save Cottage, although only the right door goes anywhere. The left door goes to an area that resembles a crystal wall, with Kirby climbing the outsides. The center door leads to a water-filled cavern. The right door leads to a cavern made of yellow crystal.

Trivia[]
- The Machine Parts, Power Paintbrush, and Cell Phone all come from Kirby games: Kirby Air Ride, Kirby: Canvas Curse, and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, respectively. They are only found in Kirby Super Star Ultra since the aforementioned games were released years after Kirby Super Star.
- The music for this area and the Garden Area is a remix of Green Greens' theme. This remix was most likely the inspiration for the theme of Green Greens in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
