For anyone wondering why Culex became a 3D character on his rematch, is becuase the joke is that he is from another dimension, the Final Fantasy dimension and that he is LITERALLY a 2D character. So in his rematch he becomes WAY more powerful beccause he is now 3D And no is not a reference for how final fantasy games are 3D now, because every game is 3D now

@69metersbelow25 you'll have to rematch 5 or 6 bosses, talk to the tadpole sage and he'll tell you which bosses need to be beaten. Then, talk to Johnny after beating everyone and you'll get the stone for this Culex
@@speedymatt1236I googled it just to be sure, and I can confirm Culex; in the Japanese version, foresaw a remake happening no fewer than 25 years later where he would finally get the power of the third dimension

I beat this battle by keeping my party alive as much as possible. I swapped knocked out party members back into the party so peach can revive them. I always group hugged or used a drink before meteor. When the crystals were dead, I swapped peach out of the party before Culex used Final Claw, so peach would be alive to revive whoever got knocked out. Peach had lazy shell armour and safety ring so she was very protected against attacks.
Me too! But what I also used was the triple move with mario, geno and peach, that protects against the meteor blast that leaves your party with 1 hp and also protects against the final claw. At the end it was only culex vs mario and geno, I was anxious cause I ran out of pick me ups and peach was dead but luckily Culex was very low on health by then. Toughest match I've played on any game
I expected them to scrap the FF4 theme due to copyright stuff. The fact that they kept it in tells you Nintendo was hella dedicated to making this remake as faithful to the original as they possibly could. FF4 is known as FFII in Japan. Just clarifying this for anyone seeing this comment before flame wars start.
Interesting. Meteor Blast and Meteor are 2 entirely separate moves. Meteor Blast does damage to your whole party while Meteor is instant death if HP isn't maxed out
Meteor is actually a fixed move that always sets the party’s health to 1 more akin to heartless angel from final fantasy 6. Well the one at the beginning is like that, the countdown one though is mainly a high damage dealer

I personally went with: Mario: Lazy Shell Hero shirt Attack Scarf Bowser: Wonder ChainChomp Work Pants Quartz Charm Peach: Frying Pan Lazy Shell Feather It's not easy, you need to be good at timing attacks that can be defended against, especially the 1-hit KO ones. You need to be at full health once Culex reaches 0, otherwise he one-shots you. Kill the yellow, green, red & blue crystals in that order. Peach only needs to heal if low on HP, otherwise use energizers and bracers to buff or fire, ice, rock candy to deal damage.
You have to get rid of the crystals this time. Sure they boost Culex’s stats when they’re defeated, but if you defeat Culex when there’s at least 1 crystal left, they’ll transfer their life force to him, reviving him. The crystals die afterwards. You wouldn’t want to beat Culex twice in the same fight, would you? BTW, once Culex is alone, he’ll switch to final claw instead of meteor. Final claw is a single target attack that’s instant death unless you block it perfectly.
Meteor does (Max HP - 1) damage to everyone. If you're full HP, it leaves you 1HP, any less and thar character dies. Keep your HP at full when starting the battle and whenever his countdown to Meteor hits.

I mean that's a semantic argument. Technically if you fight him you necessarily must have beaten all other bosses, including Smithy, so in a literal sense, he is the final boss of Super Mario RPG (2023). The reason people say Smithy is the final boss is because his defeat marks the end of the narrative, which is true, but it doesn't delegitamise Culex 2 in 3D's claim to that title.
@@TorrentialStardust has it right. For all purposes, EVERY fight precedes 3D Culex. So he is the final boss fight you can ever do. It's semantical in the most correct fashion.

They even remade the Final Fantasy 4 boss theme just for the remake 😭❤

I think that the FF II was in USA and not in Japan, all FF were launch in Japan and not in USA.
@@draydenferguson3128 It was FF2 in the US, but is now also FF4 because Squeenix fixed that.
@@draydenferguson3128I mean, Square Enix made the remake, so why wouldn’t they use the music?
At least they kept his intro dialogue from the Japanese version of the OG game into the remake.

Just Group Hug your way to the end.
Why do you use Geno Blast instead of Geno Flash?

Red crystal is immune to fire damage, which Geno Flash is counted as.

Culex 2D is still in the game, with the same attacks and same sprite.
Culex 3D is an even more powerful version of him.
