A sequel, '''''Crystal Crazy''''', introduced more convoluted objectives such as assembling jigsaw puzzles and sinking pool balls in order. [[ContestedSequel Some considered it a quantum leap over its predecessor, but it never won enough popularity]] to be ported beyond the Mac.
!! Tropes found in ''Crystal Quest'':
* AntiGrinding -- From the [[http://www.stainlessgames.com/games/go/14 official tips page]]:
--> No more nasties come out if you stop collecting crystals, so don't try hunting.
* BlobMonster -- The Dumple.
* {{Bowdlerise}}d -- The original level completion fanfare, a woman making a suggestive gasping sound, was not carried over to the Xbox remake.
* BulletHell -- Zarklephasers "emit bullets like a hail storm".
* CartoonBomb -- Smart bombs.
* CollisionDamage / EverythingTryingToKillYou / OneHitPointWonder -- Touch ''anything'' not collectible, and you're dead.
* CoolGate -- The exit.
* DeadlyWalls -- The ''sides'' of the exit.
* DestroyableItems -- Bonus Crystals.
* EveryTenThousandPoints -- Extra lives are awarded "at depressingly rarer intervals."
* [[OneBulletAtATime Five Bullets At A Time]]
* FrickinLaserBeams -- Menaces employ "laser beams" that extend and retract like measuring tape.
* GottaCatchThemAll -- Each level's crystals.
* HarderThanHard -- Hold down Option to disable speed limiting and play as fast as your CPU can throw at you. [[ScoringPoints High scores]] achieved in "Super-Fast Mode" will be marked with an asterisk.
* KillerApp -- It was the first game on the market to use the Mac II's capacity for color graphics.
* LevelEditor -- The bundled Critter Editor.
* MadeOfExplodium -- The Shrapwarden.
--> Quite sweet little things these. Unless you shoot them...
* MadeOfIndestructium -- The Bane's "bouncing bombs". The ''constantly spammed bouncing bombs that will fill your screen within seconds.'' Prepare to ''weep.''
** In the [[SequelDifficultyDrop significantly more merciful]] Xbox remake, the bombs can be shot.
* MonsterCompendium -- ''The Crystal Quest Repertoire of Nasties.''
* MookMaker -- There's one on either side of the screen.
* {{Portmanteau}} -- Various creature names, such as the Tentawarble, Shipnapper, Rawpuscle, and Shrapwarden.
* ScoreScreen
* SillinessSwitch -- The included GameMod example, "Totally Silly", in which your ship is a baby's head and your foes include dung-shooting elephants.
* SmartBomb -- The instructions liken it to "using an anti-aircraft gun to kill a mosquito."
* SpiritualSuccessor -- ''VideoGame/XQuest''.
* StatusLine
* SuperPersistentPredator -- The inaptly named Parasite will pursue you relentlessly only to kill you with a single touch.
* SymbolSwearing -- The game refers to Zarklephasers as "little #!£$%s".
!! Tropes specific to ''Crystal Crazy'':
* BonusStage -- Every third level is a "bonus wave" with no mines or enemies, just goodies to collect...with the catch that TheWallsAreClosingIn.
* CouldSayItBut
--> Although it might be possible to think up some [[ExcusePlot contrived scenario]] like you're a ship raiding somebody else's crystals while some nasties try to stop you, it wouldn't really be worth it.

* PowerUp -- Guns and armor.
* SamusIsAGirl -- Turns out your FlyingSaucer is piloted by a [[VertebrateWithExtraLimbs six-legged]] [[SpaceX Space]] [[EverythingsBetterWithCows Cow]]. (Who is, of course, a girl.)
* UnrealisticBlackHole -- {{Lampshade}}d.
