People seem to think Culex is new in other videos I'm confused um sure he is from FF IV no ?

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

_"Now, I will vanish to that land... until I gain someday the power of the third dimension and the fluctuations visit -- yet unknown lands. O traveler who appears before me, I give you this. Farewell, o mighty one."_ ~ Culex (Japanese translation) At least he's not wrong. After 27 years, the Dark Knight of Vanda finally got the power of the third dimension in the palm of his hands. The 16 bit isn’t even his final form.

[@BANDANADEE2]

Imagine in another 27y he goes 4d

[@ferrisgt]

Its a touch of genius that they keep the 2D for his 1st form and the rematch made him 3D and all

[@ECOTecJeff83]

I wish they would have used the Final battle theme Dancing Mad I stead though would have made it more epic since he looks more like Kefka

[@cloudthelemon756]

I'd like to remind everyone again that Culex's attacks are just Mario-fied versions of actual final fantasy attacks. Dark star is probably something that looks even more devastating.

[@dforond]

The four crystals are a reference to four primordial crystal are returning element in most of the final fantasies, and boss theme it's boss the from ff iv, the victory theme form the whole series, and prelude the main theme in the select screen of the majority of the games

[@saber2802]

[@Last_Strawman]

Did they seriously write new dialog alluding to this being a rematch 27 years after the SNES version? ... AWESOME!

[@kai0318]

Yes, and no. The dialogue in the original SNES version was completely changed from his original Japanese script, where he was wondering why everyone was 3D while he was still 2D. (Obviously, since the game was still *technically* 2D, just with pre-rendered sprites, it didn't translate all that well.) This is basically the original script coming full circle, thanks to the game being in actual 3D.

[@mariogs8761]

​@@kai0318Bueno, en orden de apremiar al juego... Esas líneas de diálogo resultaron ser una coincidencia muy acertada, antes el diálogo era el mismo, pero no eran realmente personajes en 3D real, pero ahora sí y ahora ese diálogo tiene sentido, fue un presagio XD por eso Culex es tan grande

[@stevenr.rodriguez9997]

I wish games had these really cool secret bosses more often.

[@tylermercado1445]

Just so you know, the crystal shard doesn’t do anything. It’s just proof you defeated the ultimate superboss. Anyways here’s some advice for fighting 3D Culex: right at the start, he’ll use a fixed damaging meteor that sends your party’s HP down to 1. If you have Geno in your active party and you equip a feather onto him, or if you equip the attack scarf and super suit onto Mario, you can heal up before the 3D wind crystal uses petal blast. In easy mode, Culex has 8999HP while it’s 9999 in normal mode. Over time, Culex will be counting down to his ultimate attack. Once it hits 0, he’ll use 1 of 2 attacks. If there are still crystals on the field, he’ll use meteor again, only non fixed damage this time. If there are no crystals left, he’ll use final claw, which deals 9999 damage to one of your party members if not blocked. If you take out a crystal before Culex, it will boost a certain stat on the remaining enemies before dying. If you defeat Culex before taking out the crystals, they’ll drop their HP to 0 to revive him, meaning they’ll die afterwards. You’ll have to choose the best course of action here, defeating Culex once with all his stats boosted, or beating him twice with 0-3 stat boosts before death 1.

[@rohinkartik-narayan7535]

One thing to point out: so long as a character is at full health, the meteor attack will *never* kill them and instead leave them with exactly 1 HP. Anything below that, and your defense likely isn't high enough to survive it, so you'll die. The key then is to just have at least one party member at full health just before the attack (ideally all three). This is where the Healing Rainbow triple move (Mario+Peach+Mallow) can be really useful as it can also heal those dead in reserve.

[@Damateos-pn8ct]

Wow what a TREAT ! I did not expect the skit at the beginning. Such a nice touch!

[@GigabiteAnimeReviews]

[@wesleyblake6249]

His 3D design really reminds of Safer Sephiroth

[@Probably_JENOVA]

It’s a shame that Culex doesn’t have tasty looking wings to cook into fried chicken wings and devour like the glorified KFC meal that is Safer Sephiroth. Would’ve loved to eat some special KFC. Instead, he looks like rock candy.

[@liammccbyrne4184]

Kinda, he was made for this game but he's from a different universe probably a Final fantasy one. Mario rpg was developed by square enix so they added a boss that used the same style of sprites and music from the 2D Final fantasy games.
