Culex is the strongest boss in Super Mario RPG before the post-game. Here’s all you need to know to prepare for and defeat Culex.
Who is Culex in Super Mario RPG?
Culex is a secret boss in Super Mario RPG, and the hardest boss in the game outside of post-game rematches. In the monster codex, he’s described as coming from the world of “Last Illusion,” a reference to Final Fantasy. Culex even uses the Final Fantasy IV boss battle theme during his battle. These references are included because the original Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars was developed by Square. He’s returned in the Nintendo Switch remake and is just as strong as before.
