  • Hi! As the game is finally officially available, I've decided to share my own experience from the game from beginning to End.
    This is the final Boss Battle after you've finished the game but also postgame.
    This is the hardest fight you'll take in this game.
    List:
    0:00 Culex Intro
    0:38 Culex Final Battle
    1:13 Triple Moves Mario, Bowser and Mallow against Culex
    1:30 The Legendary Fight Continue
    12:44 Triple Moves Mario, Bowser and Peach against Culex
    12:58 The Legendary Fight Continue
    15:54 Triple Moves Mario, Geno and Mallow against Culex
    16:27 Culex Battle Theme added More Percussion Masterpiece
    20:27 Culex Battle Theme Return to normal
    22:11 Triple Moves Mario, Bowser and Mallow against Culex
    I did absolutely everything from the game and I also recorded all the stuff.
    If you don't want to get spoiled although it's from a game that already existed, don't go on the internet.
    I hope you appreciate my videos content, not an easy task to do but I'm here now.

      It’s specifically for a rematch when you beat all the other rematches. The original fight is untouched down to the music where even using the new OST still plays the original version of the song in the soundfont of the original game instead of FF4. And the best part? Yoko Shimomura herself composed a masterpiece that certainly rivals Soken’s mix of FF4’s Battle 2.

      The first with the battle with Barbariccia, in which that version even has the original SNES version popping in with the orchestra.
      The second version with the battle with Rubicante called 'Forged in Crimson'. Remixed with Hyadain, who had remixed the theme years ago. The lyrics are pretty awesome tbh.

      Geno's a combination Machinist/Black Mage. Bowser's a summoner, or whatever the FF class equivalent would be. He wields Chain Chomps and Mario as his weapons and summons a Boo, Gassox, and Mechakoopa for his special attacks, and in the remake where the characters actually have more animations for the different specials, Bowser clearly summons the pillar of rock for his 'Crusher' move with a pump of his arm.

    When I first saw that Culex was going to be just his 2D sprite in the remake I was honestly a little disappointed, but I was still extremely happy to see him back
    But I was NOT expecting that he'd have a rematch where he's 3D after seeing that. He looks amazing in the remake, and I'm so happy that they made this sort of mini arc for him as well

    • @HideyoshiKinoshita84
      @HideyoshiKinoshita84 7 місяців тому +9

      The first 2D sprite is fitting because his whole appearance in the first original game was that he was a fully 2D character from Final Fantasy trying to enter a "3D" world (Super Mario RPG used 3D assets turned into sprites with a 3D navigational world).
      So first Culex fight being 2D keeps to that original theme, hence the whole rematch fight being Culex achieving a higher dimension (literally) in becoming 3D in a remake that is now fully true 3D.

    to those of you who say they are surprised to see him in 3D, (don’t get me wrong, I was too), he actually hinted at it in the original Japanese SNES version. Which, for some reason, they didn’t include that dialogue in the international version. He hints at wanting to become 3D. Just like in the remake. why they decided to put that dialogue in the remake, and not the original? Who knows? But I’m glad it’s there, and I’m glad we got this fight because of it.

  • @bowserknight
    @bowserknight 6 місяців тому +1

    From all the different Mario RPG games, this was one of the hardest bosses I faced. Only others that come to mind are:
    -Bonetail & Shadow Queen from Paper Mario TTYD
    -Dreamy Bowser from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros (mainly because I intentionally stayed low level), fight took me like 45 minutes
    But even tho 3D Culex was hard, I actually beat him on my 2nd try. I didn't even want to fight him, I the first 5 minutes I just wasted time trying out different items, mind-reading everything, and I thought I wasn't strong enough anyways. I just wanted to see what happens when the countdown runs out... and after that, I just decided to actually fight back and it was actually pretty managable, as long as you have Peach in your team.
    The whole fight took me over 30 minutes but I managed to do it without too much trouble. I was expecting him to become even harder once you destroy all the crystals and he gets all the 4 buffs, but on his own he's actually very simple. All his attacks are quite easy to super-block and his one-hit move can be cheesed if you use the trio move with Mario + Peach + Geno. If you use it right before the countdown runs out, the one-hit will be absorbed.

    Update. I beat him after a few tries. Fight was awesome. However I would have switched the order of final claw and meteor. The one thing the fight suffers from is once you defeat the crystals 3D Culex doesn't really pose a serious threat. I know 2D Culex has the same issue. Keep meteor as the intro because that's an effective Oh 💩 moment. I think moving meteor to the second half of the fight would keep the difficulty more balanced.

    If possible, have all party members at level 30 or as close as possible. If you need exp, you can easily grind levels at the factory using the exp booster accessory
    Mario: Lazy Shell Weapon + Attack Scarf
    Peach: Lazy Shell Armor + Safety Badge
    Geno: Stella 023 + Quartz Charm
    Strategy: Focus blue crystal first, ensure all party members have full health before Culex counts down to 0 and uses his special. This will ensure they have at least 1HP remaining. Heal up, Geno boost Mario and Geno and pound crystals with physical attacks. Take out all the crystals, and then finally Culex.

    His pattern is as follow👇🏾
    First turn he put everyone at 1hp
    The green crystal will petal you
    Your first team die unless u have princess mario and geno doing the invinsible one turn limit
    Culex will wipeout the entire 3 foward character after 4 turns .. you can avoid it by using red essences or geno/princess/mario limit….3d culex will continue killing the entire party after every 4 turns untill all the crystal are killed
    Each time u kill. Crystal the died crystal enforce the other crystal + culex
    And sometime culex lock your attack or special its ok focus with your item to put more defense and red essence you
    When you kill all crystal culex stop doing meteor, he Dark fang one of ur character 9999 or u need to dodge it
    And Culex attack 2 turns now
    You NEED ALL 5 MEMBERS to win… and everyone should be level 27+ u will die a lot so try to put peach in the back…. So she wont get kill by his auto kill and you limited to 6 pick me up….
    It take me 2 times to beat him because i didnt knew his pattern and i am a advanced player of final fantasy opera omnia so im used to difficult fight

      Did this at Level 21. Was a very unoptimized fight, but still beat it first try. Stabilizing was pretty easy with Red Essence on Peach and subbing in Bowser to take deaths for me. Party Bracer kept me alive when all four crystals were up, Party Energizer ensured Mario, Peach, and Mallow were doing full damage, and then it was basically a matter of mashing Snowy + Super Jump on Green/Ultra Flame on Blue + Peach mashing bombs or Frying Pan. Mallow's damage is pretty high in this fight, and you likely want him and Peach for their magic resist.
