Just imagining this boss in the remake hypes me so much, hope they do a good job.
I'm going to guess that remake happened cuz Square-Enix gave permision to use that FF4 boss theme, as half the rights of Mallow and Geno (cuz I get the right of both characters was 50/50 between Nintendo and SE).
Exact same reason why I'm here. This remake iis giving me a real reason to live (not suicidal don't worry, just it literally makes me glad and excited to be alive. It really is the little things in life, sometimes... isn't it.).
@Manas-co8wl bro I just wanna fight this boss for the first time. When I played this as a kid I never actually fought him or even knew he existed.
Only reason Ik he exists now is I thought "hm, Mario rpg was a jrpg. It probably has a secret boss". I looked it up and found out about this culex.
he's not gonna be in it, Nintendo already said any Square content is being cut, Culex is 100% owned by Square, he's an esper from FFVI.
@@exmaarmaca Nope Culex is being cut.
culex: i can see the future
also culex: corona
oh fuk off.
funny
So him predicted corona... Wow
Dear god...

Lol
Damn you Culex!
dude thats so funny

*Cluex uses Corona*
Cluex: *Coughs*
Mario: *Dies*
"Don't attack it while in mist form"
Wait! Wrong game...
ff4 lmao!
I died XD
and wrong boss...
@LupeGV Chelovek Apyr Final Fantasy II (Final Fantasy IV)
@Maximilianus Soldier The first boss of FF4
Even in a Mario game, it can’t truly be an RPG without that “let’s kill god” trope
It can’t be a square rpg*
@@zappiestlynx9567
Non-Square JRPGs have been guilty of that trope.
I mean despite his looks he states he is just a knight
He's not a God like figure though. And he doesn't die and leaves the party on good terms lol..
If Culex can see Mario's future, wouldn't he already know that he was going to lose?
+DrunkenRampage Mindblow
He knew, and he wanted that battle. He leaves as a friend, which shows he only said the "matter antimatter consume you" to encourage Mario to fight seriously.
If he could see mario's future, why didnt he warn us about super mario run :( lol
Or oddyesy
Re-Tron Cringe-omega What is wrong with Oddyesy
I love that Dark Star attack of his. Just when you think he's going to whip out a really artsy looking FF-esque move, it's just a black Power Star that bounces on the target.
Its Ironically called a Ztar.
Smithy, the last boss of the game, know it too.
@@hayatorpg3896 Perhaps Smithy comes from the world of FF as well

Culex himself only has about 4,000, any crystals left standing will just pop when he's defeated. Trying to defeat him with all four crystals present is possible, but even harder (the rare Red Essence item can _really_ help here).
I mean, he’s matter + antimatter after all. It was only a matter of time.
They should make him dissappear with fancy effects, like in FF7
Stumbling into this as an RPG obsessed kid was like someone validating my life choices.
I'm happy you enjoyed it
I don't know how many people actually encountered this personally, but if you can outlast that boss for about an hour he just runs out of "FP" and becomes almost literally useless.
That was how I always beat him.
What in the world???
Fighting him for an hour sounds like a tougher challenge than beating him!
@@superdemonboy That's how most of us beat him, if not all of us, by spamming Peach revives and item revives. It has a bit more to it, but eventually he becomes a sandbag and you get a special armour, iirc.
Culex has literally one physical attack (which you can actually block!), everything else is special (FP-based).
First time as a kid it took a while. as a 40 yr old, it was just a combo of time
I remember randomly stumbling across this room and shat my pants when I saw this, I was like 12
I am matter...
I am antimatter...
*Explodes.*
lolsotrue
Welp, he'd be one of the few villains who doesn't lie.
Mario: he doesn’t matter
@@MrRyonnsanGet out. 😂
This boss being a Final Fantasy IV reference just put a big smile on my face. Both incredible games.
I’m hoping they make Culex’s design in the remake clash with the game’s art style. Basically, have him look like he was pulled straight out of a modern Final Fantasy game.
YES, like a Final Fantasy 14 character in a Mario game
God I want to to with still be a sprite or an overly designed 3D model
he'd look great in the Octopath style too, really standing out against the HD models
The theme song at the end is from Zelda.
@@MikeLozanoGuitar *Are you sure about that?*
Mario=Cecil
Bowser=kain
Peach=Rosa
Geno=edge
Mallow=rydia
I can't imagine bowser being Kain XD
@@Khann_2102
Imagine Bowser jumps and sits on opponent(instead of spear) on another turn.🤣
1:29 *corona*
Oof this hasn't aged well
I thought the same thibg
Corona, noooooo!!!!! Covid-19 🤒😷😷😷
So this is where it came from 🤔 DAMN YOU CULEX!!!
As soon as i saw it, i was like “Welp, we screwed”
Who else is here after the remake wishing upon a star Culex will still be in it
Who’s checking this out after the remake announcement? Wouldn’t it be great if they expanded this dimension and added new, harder bosses?
Suddenly, Gilgamesh. On a bridge.
@@PostmanDan87 a BIG bridge
@@zalden2565Morphin' Time!
@@zalden2565 That we Battle On.
sephiroth
I love how all the bosses in this game pop like balloons
so...a kefka's cosplay that stole the four crystals came to mushroom kingdom and got beat by a plumber,a robot doll and by a princess armed with a frying pan?
Square enix made a really good move
He was barely in this dimension, you can say most of his power was used to BE there to fight Mario and co. He just wanted the battle and left pleased, showing friendship.
Even then dude, don't underestimate this plumber.
I hope he's in the remake so much.
I would think everything from the original would be in the remake
@@hoppie4263Possibly even some new stuff too!
I love that they give a little shoutout to the final fantasy series with this boss fight. The four crystals bearing reference to FF1, The music setting off to FF4. If I am missing any references, or am incorrect please dont be afraid to say so ^^
Holy crap, I just realized that
hes designed after YOU?!
Matter and anti matter seems to be a reference to the void.
The blizzaga animation
The cutscene after you win plays the prelude theme for final fantasy
Going into this fight without peach is the epitome of hard mode
Yo! I couldn't do that lol
i did it with mario geno and mallow lol
The music, the effing music.
FINAL FANTASY MUSIC
It’s the boss theme from Final Fantasy 4, arranged slightly different.
This better still be in the remake!
Let's cross our fingers. 🤞
@@phantomthiefjoker939 Depends on whether or not Square-Enix is co-developing the remake as well...
It seems our wishes have been granted...
It is and there's more.
He would fit well as a secret boss in a Kirby game
The remake has been revealed.
A Plumber, A Doll, And A Women
Defeated *A GOD*
The "Doll" is a star from space
The plumber is a hyper SUPER plumber see all his power through nintendo's history , back then super mario had way more than remakes for old gamers
The woman's no slouch, either!
during this boss battle it isn't super mario RPG it's final fantasy with super mario rpg characters.
I like it.
It would have been insane if they switched the battle format to Culex on the left and Mario with his 2 party members on the right, Mario top and the other 2 beneath him in a column.
6:39
With today's announcement... I can't wait to see this part in the remake version!!!!! ❤❤❤
Anyone else think Culex saying he can't inhabit this world is referencing final fantasy 6 being the last main final fantasy game to be on Nintendo consoles? Kinda makes sense seeing how he takes inspiration from like almost every game that existed in the series at the time
This game came out before ff6 i believe
@@gavinaverbeck7399 - No, Super Mario RPG came out in March, 1996. Final Fantasy VI came out in April, 1994.
The whole Smithy thing of "turning the world into weapons" may also be a reference to how Final Fantasy shifted away from the medieval fantasy style in favor of sci-fi, and how gaming in general shifted away from childlike adventure and fun to a more mature demographic.
@@josephb.4640 And its also a joke into the fact that he's a 2D sprite while the Mario World is 3D so he cannot exist there
SUPER MARIO RPG REMAKE CONFIRMED!!! PLS NINTENDO KEEP THIS PART IN THE REMAKE
man, its been years since this TH-camr as posted anything....6 years!!!
MAX REVIVE THE TH-camR
And that day, Mario was hailed as Champion Knight by the strongest Final Fantasy warrior
Came here because I am hoping this secret boss fight makes a return in the Super Mario RPG remake.
You know damn well they arent gonna keep an attack called "corona" in the remake 😂. Still hope he returns tho
Mario could go against one of the strongest bosses in Final Fantasy but he couldn't beat Sephiroth.
He can't beat Sephiroth without Luigi and their two hammers.
Mario sport mix he beat alot of final fantasy bosses with a ball like wacka I'm sure he can go toe to toe with seperoth but they had to make the trailer look good
RPG Bad Guys: "Ill destroy you! I am Alpha, I am the Omega."
After the fight: "You wanna be friends? Heres a trinket so we can be BFFs now!"
square needs to get with nintendo again to make super mario rpg 2 for wiiu
Technically paper Mario is super Mario rpg 2 in japan
Aizaku Galcia yeah but i want a real sequel
Square abandoned nintendo after ff7
And without another pair since the switch
Yeah.
Switch
So true
Who's here after hearing about the new one?
Yo, porque me aparecieron muchos vídeos de Mario RPG en recomendados XD
Ye
I wonder how he will look like in the remake
Can't wait to see this in the remake!!
Mario you spoony plumber!!
You Swindler! You spoony plumber!
Son of a Plumbariner!
Se imaginan que en el remake Culex te diga: "que gusto verte de nuevo, ha pasado bastante tiempo" 😮
"Han pasado 30 años, Mario..."
Cuando te dice que son compañeros de armas me imagino a Culex ayudando a Mario en algún juego.
Let’s see how insane Culex will be in the remake. I’ll definitely get the game.
He's gonna have the biggest polygon count in the whole game
(1:30) AHH! They’ve been hit with “Corona”
😂😂 Get It
2023 folks. We about to get a rematch in glorious HD.
Imagine the remake has Sephiroth
Super Mario RPG is finally getting a remake.
Watch this guy be replaced by Sephiroth or Jack Garland
Step 1: unlock monster town
Step 2: get some fireworks for the kid and get some crystal thing
Step 3: be a very high level
Step 4: get the red shell armor for peach and the red shell attack for Mario
Step 5: enter the boss fight
Step 6: kill the crystals first
Step 7: KILL CULEX
Edit: this boss is super duper hard I beat him when I was either 6 or 7
Terminal montage has now brought me here
I can’t wait to see his redesign in the upcoming remake
1:29 Oh, no... That aged well
Rather, it aged TOO WELL.
mario later died from it
4:00 did mario die from corona virus?
I hope this is in the remake!
3:54 Mario is killed off by Corona
so whats the story with Culex? the design is based on the FFVI bosses, the crystals from FFI and the theme from FFIV, but i have no idea where he comes from lol
BirriaBoy64 - Culex isn't a legitimate FF character. He's actually supposed to be a mashup of different FF conventions.
The crystals are supposed to be from the whole "four elemental crystals of power" or whatever that usually is a story plot in several FF games. The boss-like appearance is supposed to represent final bosses (Apparantly Culex is latin for "Mosquito", which is supposed to be a small reference to Golbez from FFIV who's name is based off a certain kind of fly), and his master, "The Dark Mage" is possibly a reference to the class "Black Mage"
+ShadowPersona360 is this the regular battle finished theme? i guess it would make sense, but i dont think it fits mario...
+Jonathon Andrews Its the theme from FF when you win a battle, was used everytime with the same type of theme up to the newer FF's.
larrythebomb5001 Yeah, I know that much. I've been playing FF for most of my life. I just don't think that FFIV themes fit into a cute game like Mario.
I have no idea what to change my name to This boss is a hidden one, the theme and the victory theme at the end are references to FF
Why tf is this small italian man so god damn strong
Man the lore behind this guy is interesting. I'd love to see a game take place where he comes from. (Nevermind the final fantasy reference)
*Blizzara!*

Here's how I fought this boss back in 1996:
1. Collect 3 Red Essences and save your Rock Candy.
2. Use the Red Essence on each character and spam rock candies (this completely eliminates the colored crystals).
3. Fight your heart out until you win.
OR, rely entirely on Toadstool and Pick Me Ups and Kerokerocola to survive, occasionally chipping away at his HP
Both of those comments helped me
Or you could just let Geno equip the Lazy Shell then he'll be immune to pretty much all enemy spells in the game
Or just wail on Culex until he dies and the crystals go with him.
3:54 *cough*
LOL FF4 Boss theme using the Super Mario RPG Soundfont.
ALL OF CREATION BEND TO MY WILL! *rotate battlefield 45°*
Just imagine if bowser was in the ff7 remake as a secret boss if it ever gets ported to Switch.
😂😮
Wonder if they'll bring back Culex in the remake. Or probably a Boss Gauntlet with all the bosses you've defeated, this time even harder, with Culex being the final boss of the gauntlet.
There's a couple of romhacks with that idea
I hope Culex gonna look cool in the remake.
I wonder if they'll still be able to use the FFIV boss music in the remake?
It's being made by Square Enix themselves, as opposed to Nintendo. so.. probably? though they'd have to license it from Uematsu. And it'd probably be the Pixel Remaster version since it's the most recent rendition (not counting the ones made by Soken in FF14)
i have such vivid memory of watching this video 10 years ago
CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THIS IN THE REMAKE
After 26 years they FINALLY REMADE THIS GAME FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😉😉🤩🤩🤩😆😆😆💯💯💯❤❤❤✨✨✨✨🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Imagine if he broke the fourth wall in this remake and said all that stuff in the beginning and also added ' you may have defeated me in the past but I will win in the future'
1:29 That Corona attack though..
1:30 Corona...😨
Flare in Remake Switch .....😮
The scariest thing about Culex is that when he attacks, there's no warning, no flashy animation, no anticipating it.
The magic based attacks cannot be blocked that is why this boss is so difficult in the remake they changed that to not all magic attacks
The intro battle text for Culex and the Axem Rangers I still have engraved in my memory from the first time I played this.
Who came here after the SMRPG Remake Reveal?
They better not remove this fight from the remake
That’s my biggest fear too
yes, so final fantasy
THIS JUST IN! CULEX IS BACK! 😄
Ahora todos queremos.ver esta batalla en el.remake ♡♡♡
Esperemos que lo mantengan
Me pregunto sí harán una referencia al comentario de Culex: "En otro tiempo, en otro juego, hubiéramos sido enemigos mortales"
@@Juanjose-tm4qp podrían hacer
@@SVD978 Supongo que rompan la cuarta pared.
Culex's so strong, he's powerful, oh, Rock Candy's very effective yeh?
I can't wait to see what they do with him in the remake. I'd love to see him updated a bit, same with Smithy
Every time I see the attack name "Corona", I get startled. Until I remember it's also a physics thing
Earth

By your powers combined, I am Captain Plan..I mean Culex!
When the Dark Star was dropped on them...I wish Mallow had been there to attack with his own version of that move

Grey some things are gonna happen tonight, into the realm of death!
This game was BOSS
THIS AMAZING SECRET BOSS BATTLE
“Looks like our neighbors have moved away!”
With the remake out I’m ready to see what it looks like in the remake
I think it would've been cooler if they just straight up used gilgamesh honestly
Bruh i cant wait for this boss battle in the remake its gonna be so badass
Culex: I am matter… I am anti matter.
Me: Yeah and you’re also fodder and Anti fodder since Toadstool SOLOS your verse with no difficulty
Mario: Wahoo! I'm going to have a great time in 2020!
2020: 3:54
The music is final fantasy 4 boss theme and victory theme
I use to call this the final fantasy boss of the game.
He pretty much is. Has a FFIV fight theme and it plays the FF victory theme when you win.
I love the new comments lol
The attack "Corona" isn't in the remake for obvious reasons.
They changed the name of the attack in the english version so it's still in the game.
Is Flare in the Remake Switch
