Thanks for those who appreciate my content! I'm always trying to bring the best quality possible on this channel. I'm grateful. I want you to know this.
As a kid I was totally caught off gaurd by this secret fight and even more so by the boss music from the first rpg I ever played. So happy they kept everything 🥲
They both kept the old and added the new. You can rematch him in the post game and even though you have to challenge all the other postgame bosses first, the struggle is entirely worth it.
This is so strange to witness after an additional 20+ years of Nintendo's history with Final Fantasy. I may not have been around during the original SNES games' time, but I can appreciate how amazing something like this truly is
Well, it was an original secret boss from the Mario RPG, it was obvious that they would bring it, it would have even felt strange if they removed it xd
In a way it does sound pretty funny that a Final Fantasy-like monster finds its way into a Mario world in 2D and then takes it a step further with 3D. it sounds brilliant and hilarious
For a 2D battle, they did this perfectly. The battle mechanics, Yoko's original music, everything. Is it just me, or is this battle easier than in the original?
Nobuo Uematsu composed this piece. It's an arrangement of the Final Fantasy IV boss battle theme.Yoko Shimomura is a fantastic musician though, and I adore her work on this game.
I don't know if someone has already stated this but remember that in the Original Mario RPG magic-based attacks cannot be blocked that explains why culex was so difficult and obviously they changed that to make a more easy boss in the switch version
yeah but how cool would have it been if this remake actually used Final Fantasy VII's boss theme? and using the one form the remaster foethe 3D culex fight?
We don't need FFVII in everything, there's a reason people roll their eyes whenever people talk about VII. Not because it's bad, but because it's shoved down our throats. And besides, so many people talk about how VI is the best game in the series so where's the love for that game? Pretty much everyone and their mother talk about how Kefka is the best WRITTEN villian, so why not represent their game for once?
@@AzumarillConGafasBvJust that his regular attack is kinda meh and his heal is not as good as peach so he alway get benched by Geno as he have similar magic power but he can also BUFF your party
That video is from the remastered version of Super Mario RPG. But they obviously didn't change the look of Culex in the remastered version since he was a 2D sprite back then. Probably just upscaled him though.
@@warkiller they could have made Culex 3D like the rest, but this is part of his character. He comes from a 2 Dimensional Realm hence the script of this scene. It's more based on the Japanese one than the original Localization Script
Spoilers: You have the option of have a rematch with Culex sometime after beating him. He will have returned to Mario's world with a brand new power: THE THIRD DIMENSION!
I remember that in the original Super Nintendo game you had to choose wisely which 3 characters you were going to take or else this damn guy who hits like a truck was going to destroy you
You could always just choose to not use those things if you want a challenge tho. I used to play the original game without using timed attacks to make it harder.
@@dew-it8744 He was saying how if it was a recreation of the old game, that he was most certain on them bringing back Celux even though most remakes tend to miss a few things sometimes.
YESSSS!!! That is a fantastic idea!! I would buy 6 copies 🥰 I didn't even ever play that game til like 20 years after it came out but I fell in love with it so much. ❤
I don't know if I can beat this boss like I have decent characters that I can beat on which I think I'm gonna fight his tooty lock now. This is probably gonna be tough and not easy. I need some help guys I really do
I was wondering why you were taking so much damage then I figured our you didn't have the Lazy Shell armor equipped as well as Peach's frying pan I usually wait until i'm in the mid 20s to fight this guy like level 24 I usually fight this guy before fighting Smithy at least that's what I did when I played this on the Wii virtual console
Just recently beat the game, I believe you need to beat all bosses that can be rematched (idk how many bosses have rematches)and then return to monstro town and enter the sealed area again to fight culex again (this is just a guess since I tried to fight culex again but the door was locked again)
>Beat the game >Use the voucher given when you re-enter the game > _Some steps I won't describe here_ > Obtain a second shiny stone > You can now fight 3D Culex
Even after all these years, Culex is unable to escape the 2D plane. Meanwhile, Mario and his crew have long enetered 3D. Yeah, I’m sure you’re some super strong knight or something, Culex. Come back to us when you can see a Z-axis. Update: I have been severely humbled, and would like to apologize for my actions.
Makes it easy for new players to figure out how to play. For older players, it makes it easier. As a new player myself, I know the gauge will help make the game more fun for me and easier to figure out and understand.
@@chigginnuggie7681 i understand that but i feel like its more fun if it was like “if we had to suffer in the original, you have to suffer in the remake” type of thing
@@kusunoki_sushi I don’t see why new players should have to suffer. But this does make me think of an answer: old players can challenge themselves by avoiding the special move and instead only use what they’re given. A nice challenge, like those “don’t touch coins” challenges, but instead a “don’t use the special move” challenge, you know?
Thanks for those who appreciate my content! I'm always trying to bring the best quality possible on this channel. I'm grateful.
I want you to know this.

Thank you for making content! I’ve been watching you for years now- enjoyed everything. Keep it all up ^^
I love that they managed to keep his 2D version from the original AND made a fancy new 3D version for the rematch. This really is such a great remake!
How much more difficult is he on the rematch?
@@2001four if you don't play properly, literally 1 hour.
@@valencearthur3230 lol WOW
As a kid I was totally caught off gaurd by this secret fight and even more so by the boss music from the first rpg I ever played. So happy they kept everything 🥲
Wait till you fight him again
Final fantasy?
Final Fantasy 4, specifically.
This music also got used for the Arch-fiend boss encounters in Final Fantasy 14.
They both kept the old and added the new. You can rematch him in the post game and even though you have to challenge all the other postgame bosses first, the struggle is entirely worth it.
They retained his original JPN character AND his US backstory. Perfect adaptation. No notes.
I love that the characters have fighting posses now. It felt a bit deflating when they stood like statues in the OG.
I'm glad the dialogue is now more similar than the original one in japanese.
Yeah, especially since the rematch would've made much less sense without it
Just becauss of that im super glad they didnt even change one bit of him
I love hearing good old final fantasy IV in this game
I was so worried they were going to remove this boss in the remake but it’s awesome that it returned.
This is so strange to witness after an additional 20+ years of Nintendo's history with Final Fantasy.
I may not have been around during the original SNES games' time, but I can appreciate how amazing something like this truly is
I honestly didn't expect them to bring culex back, but I'm glad they did
Well, it was an original secret boss from the Mario RPG, it was obvious that they would bring it, it would have even felt strange if they removed it xd
I laughed so hard at the idea of fighting him in 2D with retro music, that was great!
The Final Fantasy Prelude playing after you beat him is such a nice touch
It sent chills down my spine. FF4 was one of the first games I ever beat.
Im so glad it's the same battle theme ^__^
But... hahaha
Let's be honest, the remake just makes this fight a hundred times funnier.
In a way it does sound pretty funny that a Final Fantasy-like monster finds its way into a Mario world in 2D and then takes it a step further with 3D. it sounds brilliant and hilarious
"I am matter. I am antimatter. I can see your past. I can see your future. I will consume time. And I will consume you"
*FFIV Boss music plays*
*super jump intensifies*
For a 2D battle, they did this perfectly. The battle mechanics, Yoko's original music, everything. Is it just me, or is this battle easier than in the original?

Don’t worry about this match potentially being easier. You should check out his rematch. It’s beautiful.
Being able to swap out party members makes this much MUCH easier.
If you want an added challenge don't swap party members, don't use triple attacks. If you want even more of a challenge, don't use timed hits either.
And, the 2d version ls, also a remake? Yet the same ff4 from snes Mario rpg playing ?
Same music, just like I wanted! Thanks for showing the fight, Pokeli. Well- Mixeli.
I don't know if someone has already stated this but remember that in the Original Mario RPG magic-based attacks cannot be blocked that explains why culex was so difficult and obviously they changed that to make a more easy boss in the switch version
The difference between graphical styles is way more pronounced when Mario's party isn't pre-rendered lol.
I'm so glad that they used the Final Fantasy boss theme ❤
They actually made it! With the FF main theme! 😭✨
It's the FFIV boss theme.
@@TouchybananaIn their defense, it does have the Prelude at the very end.
Yes !! 😭😭😭😭
The main theme is a different song. The songs that play are:
-The FF IV Boss Theme
-FF Victory Theme
-FF Prelude
they made it 25 years ago you mean
I love how when you read his mind he says "I feel so out of place"
Peach: does anyone hear some Final Fantasy music playing?
I'm so glad they kept Culex in for the remake, AND the music!
My musics still here!!! FFIV FOR LIFE!
What’d you mean your music?
He's also back in 3D form 😅
yeah but how cool would have it been if this remake actually used Final Fantasy VII's boss theme?
and using the one form the remaster foethe 3D culex fight?
We don't need FFVII in everything, there's a reason people roll their eyes whenever people talk about VII. Not because it's bad, but because it's shoved down our throats.

@@garsrandom4358wtf lol, FFIV music is better, why replace it.
Man! They made my boi Mallow more useful!
He was always useful
@@AzumarillConGafasBvJust that his regular attack is kinda meh and his heal is not as good as peach so he alway get benched by Geno as he have similar magic power but he can also BUFF your party
Mallow kinda hits like a truck now!
I was hoping that they would keep culex 2d and I’m so happy they did
There’s a 3D version too which is awesome
Is it just me, or does Culex's attacks become more three dimension over time?
Foreshadow
Was that original or remastered? What an exact look!
That video is from the remastered version of Super Mario RPG. But they obviously didn't change the look of Culex in the remastered version since he was a 2D sprite back then. Probably just upscaled him though.
@@warkillerhe's on par with the pixel remastered FF games. Just without animations.
@@warkiller I see "upscale". That's the word.
@@warkilleryou’re in for a surprise post game for sure!
@@warkiller they could have made Culex 3D like the rest, but this is part of his character. He comes from a 2 Dimensional Realm hence the script of this scene. It's more based on the Japanese one than the original Localization Script

And a phase 2.
I was really hoping he would get the 3d treatment too.
Inb4 they realize about the rematch
He did in the rematch
It's like seeing an old friend
Hehe. I love when Mario and the others dancing the victory fanfare.
.
(The fact they kept him pixelated)
This is the first out of 2 times you fight in the remake
STOOOP THE DANCING TO THE FF VICTORY MUSIC I LOVE IT
Why in other videos is Culex in 3D and very different?
Culex 3D is the rematch, and of course he is a lot stronger than his 2D form.
I wonder if you can solo Culex with Peach?
in a fight, probably not. and in a bit more than a fight still probably not
@@handsomeharold4698In a fight with all odds at your favor still probably not
@@handsomeharold4698bro.
Yes.
If you have the super suit.
I remember that in the original Super Nintendo game you had to choose wisely which 3 characters you were going to take or else this damn guy who hits like a truck was going to destroy you
You can switch teammates plus the triple attack? Seems that would make the game even easier.
Don't worry, Culex has an even more intense battle to match up to that
OH boy just wait until the rematch...
You could always just choose to not use those things if you want a challenge tho. I used to play the original game without using timed attacks to make it harder.
rock candies first>fire bomb on blue>ice bomb on red, then finish with lazy shell, star rain
Final Fantasy IV was my first and fav game and forever
Looks like Chris Noisi’s theory was correct!
Kirb will enjoy that!
Just curious, what was his theory?
@@dew-it8744 He was saying how if it was a recreation of the old game, that he was most certain on them bringing back Celux even though most remakes tend to miss a few things sometimes.
@@christopherbrown1988ah ok got it. Just watched it. Thank you
What are some tips that I can use when fighting culex?
This games been super easy tbh but got my first lost from Culex but beat him right after. Looking forward to the rematch 😬
So glad they kept the FF4 boss theme
Lore of Super Mario RPG Remake - Hidden Boss 2D Culex Battle (HQ) momentum 100
😊Nintendo should do Earthbound for Switch.
Earthbound would look amazing If they use the SMRPG Remake Design probably.
Mother 3 💀
YESSSS!!! That is a fantastic idea!! I would buy 6 copies 🥰 I didn't even ever play that game til like 20 years after it came out but I fell in love with it so much. ❤
3D rematch is no joke…… Good Luck 😁
What level did you fight this guy? I fought him at Lv30 right after beating the game
I don't know if I can beat this boss like I have decent characters that I can beat on which I think I'm gonna fight his tooty lock now. This is probably gonna be tough and not easy. I need some help guys I really do
I didn't know he had a 2D form and a 3D form
Almost 30 years and i don't know yet where is Vanda 😂😂😂😂😂
That's one way to avoid having to figure out how to 3D that monstrosity.
He comes back for round 2 in 3d
He was 2D in the original Super Mario RPG my guy.
@@KingGisInDaHouseThere's a second battle with him and he is 3D with arranged music.
@@KingGisInDaHouseÀter you complete the game you can re challenge him again in post game
There's a 3D battle against him too, lol.
Does anyone know if you can fight 2D Culex after beating Smithy? Or will you only be able to fight 3D Culex?
yes you need to beat 2d culex first anyway
Wait, how do you do that ? I saw that there was a 3d fight as well, so is there this fight and the 3d version ?
Imagine trying to beat Culex in this game, well Weiss is even harder in FFVII Remake
Aun recuerdo cuando busque en UA-cam como enfrentármelo XD
escuchaba su OST por horas 😍😍😍😍😍😍
No me lo esperaba en 2D XD
La mejor parte es saber que se puede dar la revancha contra Culex y.....que en esa revancha podamos ver a Culex en un glorioso modelo poligonal
The spell Corona (now named Flare) is broken as usual.
I wish they kept ye olde lightning flashes before the boss dissolves.
Does he still have corona as an attack?
I was wondering why you were taking so much damage then I figured our you didn't have the Lazy Shell armor equipped as well as Peach's frying pan I usually wait until i'm in the mid 20s to fight this guy like level 24 I usually fight this guy before fighting Smithy at least that's what I did when I played this on the Wii virtual console
So Culex is kept 2D. Apparently there's a 3D Version, but how does that happen?

Yeah, I’m sure you’re some super strong knight or something, Culex. Come back to us when you can see a Z-axis.

@@Failentinyou can tell 😅😅😅
Seems like this one is much harder then the original snes.i remember I use to beat this thing easily when I was a kid but this one kept killing me

Nope, his plotline of being flat was in the og game, but only un the japanese version since for the localisation they changed It for some reason
i think its stupid you can swap characters out mid-battle, and the gauge kinda panders to the kids and takes some difficulty out of the game.
Makes it easy for new players to figure out how to play. For older players, it makes it easier. As a new player myself, I know the gauge will help make the game more fun for me and easier to figure out and understand.

Ff4 boss teme is the best batle teme
I beat him.
That’s a sprite
He's 3D in the rematch.
they shoul all jus step slightly to th side & then touch culex' brain! they'r 3d they can win easy!
Ummmmm…… I think that doesn’t work now…..
Loved the original. Hope this comes out on Steam eventually.
A Mario game? On Steam? Like that could ever happen!
I dont think thats gonna happen... because nintendo dont work like that
Uh… not happening lmao
Mario has never been on steam what are you talking about
Nintendo would never let that happen
