Took me 32 turns with the lazy shell armor on bowser, forgot to equip the lazy shell weapon also forgot to equip geno's stella 023 as well lol. Beat Culex on my third try and everyone at level 30 which is the max.
Great Video I remember fighting Culex when I first played the Original Version of Super Mario RPG he was a tough Boss I tell you that but I am looking forward to fighting him more in the Remake
It took me 50-something turns to defeat Culex because I killed him while ignoring the Crystals not knowing they'd revive him at full HP so I essentially had to fight him twice lol
@@guidecca3506 As far as I know, no. There didn't seem to be any special additions to fighting his revived form. He just said I took "quite a long time" to defeat him when he said how many turns it took lol.
lol fun how if you did the 100 super jump to get super suit... all that training pays off to use on him... 60 plus supers jumps can do 2,000 damage lol
If Paper Mario got back into the tone of the first 3 games, how could be a Fire Emblem reference boss work? Like isn’t from Fire Emblem (just as Culex is still technically original to SMRPG), but checks the boxes of Fire Emblem rival vibes. Saying this as Intelligent Systems is the developer of Paper Mario and Fire Emblem. Maybe it would work better if it was, say, a fusion of TTYD’s battle attack variety and Origami King battle field layout (since I do enjoy TOK battles as puzzles), it could click more with how Fire Emblem is as a blend of the Strategy and Japanese RPG.
Fought the 2d Culex and lost the first time, but spammed group hug, pick me ups and mario's hammer Once Culex ran out of FP the boss fight became so much easier, but i nearly died with a less than half health Mallow
Took me 33 turns with Lazy Shell Bowser and everyone level 28 except for Mario and Peach (both lv 29) Peach wasn't with the frying pan bc I didn't give much attention to treasure hunter toad
Basically a demon from planet Kinoko's molten depths.
What's Planet Kinoko?
His 3d form intro before the fight reminds me of Safer Sephiroth from ff7
Wait…
Culex isn’t actually from Final Fantasy?
He just actually is a Mario character?!
Yes. People mix that up. Its just the song thats from ff4

Gonna need to see you re try him with no Lazy Armor at some point >: )
@@WeegManThat sounds like a nightmare but im down to try that actually!
Took me 29 turns which is 10 turns lower than the amount of turns almost everyone takes to beat Culex
I had more problems with mario oydessy Rabbit guys than this dude. Or just Smithy. At Least in the remake. Maybe he was harder in the original?
It would be cool if Culex appeared in a Final Fantasy game, even as just a cameo in the background.
The Devil Kazuya Mishima of Mario
In the german version Culex ist called "Crystallux".
No idea how they come with this change.
You forgot the most evil trick Culex 3D has: stealing Bowyer’s button locks.
I am pretty sure that it took me 34 turns with Lay Shell Armor on Peach and the Lazy Shell weapon on Mario. You did pretty well! Thanks for the video!

One of my most greatest foes. Only surpassed by the whale enemy. From Super Mario brothers 2.
Worth noting, thr mosquito genus thing is possibly a reference to Final Fantasy IV’s Golbez, who is named for a type of fly.
Lore wise Culex should be the 2nd strongest Mario villain with only being weaker than Dimentio
The Dark Star and Dreamy Bowser are likely stronger than Dimentio.
@@ag9953 literally no
Lore wise he is fodder inverse talking

Can we get Culex to appear in Smash Bros
His name is pronounced Kyou-Lex though NOT Cuh-Lex. That constant mispronunciation annoyed me.
Phew, glad it’s not just me
I say
que lex 😇
I latin, after all...
Of anything I would say Cyou-lex.
I always said it coolex
It took me 50-something turns to defeat Culex because I killed him while ignoring the Crystals not knowing they'd revive him at full HP so I essentially had to fight him twice lol
Did you beat him again aftet the crystals revived him? Any extra exp or any new dialogue after the fight?
@@guidecca3506 As far as I know, no. There didn't seem to be any special additions to fighting his revived form. He just said I took "quite a long time" to defeat him when he said how many turns it took lol.

I don’t know what I was expecting to be behind that door when I first saw the original game, but it wasn’t a final fantasy boss that’s for sure.
CUE-Lex
Ive gotten it down to 20 turns without the lazy shell or super suit
It took me about 49 turns. I was incredibly slow but the fight wasn’t that hard overall. A few close calls but nothing too scary.
Not really an enemy. More like Allies In Arms like Culex says! 😎😎😎😎
It took me 20 turns at level 30 with work pants to all party members

I like to believe they'd do what the Underchomp battle from SPM did and completely remake the FE battle system for one battle as a joke
I mean, the iconic old dragons aren't that strong but I think any of them would fight just like the Dragon from TTYD
I first tried culex 3d at lv 26 and got wrecked, then on my 2nd try at lv 30 with lazy shell peach I managed to win in 34 turns, was a very fun fight
Amazing video
I over leveled and destroyed culex too easily
2D right?

Took me 42 turns at level 22 😅
51 turns. One attempt. Level 22.
I cant find his 3d form
26 turns
First time, 26
Second time, 24
Third time, 21 O.o
QUE lex not "Cullex"
49 turns at 24, 24, 24, 24, 23 (peach) 58 fp, and piss poor skill at the game
69 turns on my first try in the rematch.
"Cull"-ex?
Ark-Eus, Arse-Eus, Morpheus, Dorpheus, Orpheus
This isn't a case of s vs c vs k... This is you adding an L for no reason and making the u short.
@@WeegMan Nawh dude it's the vowel consonant e pattern, this is basic English
@@verity_amo Was hoping this reply would be the rest of the song lyrics now I'm sad.
@@WeegMan fingers in his a-
Ha. I beat him at 17
