The fact it's the FF 4 boss theme but with Mario RPG music flare it's amazing, THIS is how you do a crossover song, perfection.
No one mentions Mario RPG IS a Final Fantasy game.. that's kinda the easter egg 😅 It's hip to be _Square_ you know🔳
such a damned good game. I wish they made a proper mario RPG 2 instead of paper mario
@@dizzle6709 From the looks of things, when Square was still developing it, the "proper" Super Mario RPG 2 they were working on, and the game we came to know and love as "Paper Mario", are, from the beginning of the development cycles of both, one and the same. As it turns out, Intelligent Systems just picked up where Square left off and finished its development.
@@LittleAl016 I dunno about that. I remember during that time period when I had nintendo power and all that stuff. They had previews for the RPG 2 and they were NOT paper mario. It was all images of things that looked like the art style of 1. I could be not remembering things correctly but that all happened before the internet, which, will be a weird concept in the 10-20 years from now "well its not on the internet so it's not true" because of lack of archiving or what have you.
@@Pressplay_Media_EU The second I can make a connecting arguement between the two franchises it's over.
Fun fact: The wind crystal is weak to jump attacks, just like you jumped on the wind fiend in FF4 to get her to drop her guard.
brilliant
By your very own Mario aka the Dragoon!
That’s really cool
Didn't realize that. They really thought on everything
I was today years old
This game is 27
I am matter... I am antimatter... I ca-
*EXPLODES*
lmao
Glad someone else sees the paradox of Culex's being...
lmfaooooooo
Geno ::Well, that was anti-climactic...anyone up for Grate Guy's Casino?
IS THAT AN TERMINALMONTAGE REFERENCE?
I hope Culex and this song keeps in the remake!! 🙌
Yeah
Yasssss 🙏🏼✨
im guessing either a new rmeix for the ff4 boss theme or they just use the one from the recent Pixel Remaster.
@@sonictj3 there are so many FF IV battle remixes... in FF XIV we just got one some months ago... and IS A BLAST BELIEVE ME!!! Any of them should be fine...
Yo but what if, plottwist:
They‘re also adding a secret Jenova boss or smth becuz FF7 rebirth
I dare someone to just use Mario, Bowser, and Mallow on Culex. And no Lazy Shell armor.
yeah i cant beat culex without the latest armor and weapons.....cant be done, unless I use red essence...and there is if i remember correctly only 4 of them
Okay, I'll make it Mario, Geno, and anyone besides Peach. No lazy shell armor, but anything else (items and gear) is okay.
you really love cursing. I dont curse but you over curse so go away
***** Na its just people who swear in every comment. Also you hacked my account I think or maybe it was someone else with S*&% poster in their name.
*****
k wel l some1 did
Suddenly a boss from Final fantasy appears completely with a classically arranged tune.
Imagine if they did that in other games. I guess they kinda did. It certainly happened in Kingdom Hearts.
the gamehad originally more references to Final Fantasy, more on the FF6 then FF5 side of things, but still
@@Evilriku13We couldn't tell until the remake came out, but that little mech figure on the front desk at Booster Tower is the MagiTek Armor from FFVI
It’s not even a boss from any final fantasy game though
“I am matter... I am antimatter... I can see your past... I can see your future... I consume time... And I will consume you!”
*Let the Final Battle commence*
@terminalmontage eh?
@@hashtagbiscuits no actually it's a quote from culex
Cringe
And then the WAHOO defeated him
Yoko is going to drop a Kingdom Hearts-level remake of this song isn’t she.
Well she didn’t write it, so let’s hope she doesn’t miss certain energies.
Would’ve been happy to see Uematsu and Sakaguchi part of the project too.
I feel that it would be much funnier if he just stayed the exact same, with the sprite and the music, afterall he is an invader, he already looked out of place in the original game
@@francjirachi he’s not an invader, he’s a celebrity…
You're God damn right
@@francjirachi Maybe get the Final Fantasy XVI team in here to make a Culex design XD
Culex: I Am Matter, I Am Antimatter, I can see your Past, I can see your Future, I consume Time, AND I WILL CONSUME YOU!!!!
Toadstool with Lazy Shell: i will end this man's whole career.
(Proceeds to take 1 damage while everyone else instantly dies)
Mario with Lazy Shell and safety ring as well!
Gotta admit his pre-fight quote is one of the hardest things a 10 year old has ever read. When child me discovered Culex without my brother around I got scared but it was the fight that turned a boy into a man.
Don't forget about the Amulet from Booster to make her basically invincible
To this day I don't get why people would destroy Peach's ability to heal just to give her that defense.
My favored setup:
Mario - Lazy Shell, Super Suit, Attack Scarf
Mario at his absolute strongest. Best possible stats, immunity to instant death and most elemental attacks.
Geno - Star Gun, Lazy Shell, Jinx Belt
The Jinx Belt offers immunity to instant death and negates just over half the attack/magic attack penalties of the Lazy Shell. The shell offers elemental resistance.
Peach - Frying Pan, Royal Dress, Safety Ring
Keeps her magic attack strong so she can fully heal the party with every Group Hug. Safety Ring provides her elemental and instant death resistance.
Learn the timing to block Culex's physical attack (it is instant, but CAN be blocked if you know when the attack starts relatively to who he acts after... he acts after Mario with this set up, but if Mario's speed is 50 or below, Culex acts after the Earth Crystal) and she will not go down easily, especially if you keep her Geno Boosted (timed).
Man, I used all of my Red Essences against this dude.
Oh, the memories...
I saved my red essences specifically for this guy.
And honestly, this is really the only fight where they're an excellent help and can make the difference while you chip away at the crystals. All the other fights you can manage fine with the right equipment and decent level. The Safety Ring is the most broken accessory in the game - protects from all elemental attacks, status effects AND instant death? Holy hell, it makes fights a breeze.
@@peggieschafer485 - 100 damage to all (150 with an Attack buff) for the amount of time it takes that animation to complete? I'll pass lol.
I used Red Essence only because I did a play of never selecting HP boosts and no Lazy Shell
I know you're all here from the Nintendo Direct. The hype is real! 😁
And his frozen dick
i am hype! but i still listen to music from smrpg, diddykong racing, megaman x, banjo kazooie kinda regularly haha
I ain't.
Culex: I am matter. I am antimatt- OH SHI-
*BOOM*
*Cue FF4 victory fanfare*
T H I S

Culex is such A gigachad he still lives anyways
Science moment
Culex is a warp core for some reason by referencing both matter and antimatter. Guess he's made up of dilithum.
OMG, I can't wait to hear how this sounds in the remake!
Okay, fun freaking fact about Culex that I have learned: he is portrayed completely differently between the JP and EN releases of Mario RPG. In JP, apparently Culex is just a guy made of pure evil, while also being perplexed by Mario and co for being 3D... THEY HAVE ALL THE RIGHT TO MAKE CULEX A LIVE A LIVE-Octopath boss sprite for the remake. Either that, or literally make his encounter a sequel to the OG, cause he also stated he would return when he gets a 3D form.... but to keep the joke, why not make his model straight outta a PS1/N64 and make him outta lego pieces?
HD2D Culex
Oh my gosh, that’d be awesome. Octopath is literally my favourite game
I pretty sure they’re going to do both, where during the first fight with him he will still be 2d and perplexed by your 3dness but in the rematch he will have achieved a 3d form
@@Kirbiclelol nailed it right on the head.
@@Kirbicle wtf bro was 100% on the money with this speculation 😭
i can't wait to see him in the remake
PLEASE LET CLUEX BE IN THE REMAKE I'M BEGGING YOU
What makes you think he wouldn't be?
@@stripedrajang3571 Licensing. hell that's what took us this long to make a remake. Square and Nintendo were on bad terms right after this game until the Switch.
@@TheCaliforniaHP I'm guessing they were going to have a Final Showdown. Just summoning every game at their disposal.
I remember the days when I used to play this game when I was in middle school and high school. What an absolute classic game and timeless piece of music! Somebody should tell Smooth Mcgroove to do this piece.
I was thinking that Smooth Mcgroove should do this.
the remake is happening I cant wait to hear this
Cant wait to see what culex looks like in the remake!!!
I genuinely can't wait to hear what this is gonna sound like in the remake 🤩
I worry that they'll just use the Pixel Remaster version
I hope it sounds the exact same
IS GOOD!
It SLAPS
CAN CONFIRM: IT SLAPS
Playing through the remake currently, and I just beat this guy earlier today. Man, what a fun and challenging fight! Defeating Jinx was also insanely difficult yet gratifying.
WE DID IT BOYS HE'S IN!
This game has hands down some of the best music in mario especially the forest maze
This track in particular is from Final Fantasy IV, and was probably composed by Uematsu himself.
@@McCaroni_Sup For the FF4 original song, yes. And, FF4 was made 1991, so that's why it sound's so damn similar.
Cant wait for Yoko to remake this banger tune
Being lvl 15 and not using Peach for this fight was truly hard, when you start finding a game easy-make it hard and more enjoyable for youself by giving yourself random challanges.
+TerdSmasher303 ^This. Hate when people complain that a game is too easy. Make it a challenge then! LOL! Simple concept :-)
@@clerlanmysticknight that’s what I do for games like Mario 3d land
@@clerlanmysticknight it would be nice if you didn't have to tho
I made a challenge where if anyone died I don’t use them even if they get fully healed I find a way to kill them and continue like thy if they whole party dies I start all over again it was challenging but fun I even did a no equipment run man that was hard to but fun
Pokemon fans be like
Soon, this song shall return in its full glory
FINAL FANTASY IV: Battle 2 (Endwalker)
I'm stooooooked
FRRRRR
@@DraconicCatgirl I thought it was battle with the four fiends but you might be right for being it battle 2 theme
THE GLORY, WORTHY OF A THREE-DIMENSIONAL WORLD!
This fight and music better be in the remake.
Oh I can’t wait to hear this in the remake
Culex: I am matter... I am antimatter...
Dark Matter: I hate crossovers.
I can see your past... I can see your future... I consume time and I will consume you
Cringe
@@AGZhark had a bad day..?
I love how this has shown up randomly in my recommendations a few days after the Super Mario RPG remake was announced.
I am hyped! 😃🥳
I'd played FF1 and Dragon Quest (Dragon Warrior) at a young age, and could never make it very far. When FF4 (FF2 US) came out, I was old enough to learn the mechanics and understand the story. It holds a special place in my heart and will always be one of my favorite games.
Mario RPG came along and I fell in love. I talked my mother into buying it "for a good report card," which isn't something I'd done before or since. I loved the gameplay along with the goofy, cartoonish characters and atmosphere. This fight, with the FF4 music, was so intense and mind-blowing.
YO! IT’S CONFIRMED! HE’S BACK! 😄
Can't wait to hear this song in the upcoming remake!!!
HE'S BACK!!!!
I still can’t believe this this is in a Mario game. Like I know it’s an homage to Final Fantasy but… look at him!
I remember being 14 and accidentally running into him... one of my best gaming memories! Its been so long but i remember thisbsong so clearly... it makes me a bit teary...
I wish they would give this game a visual overhaul/ upgrade and re release it... dont change anything else, just visuals..
Your wish has been granted
Boy do I have some news for you.
Hello! : D
Happy birthday!
Your wish is yours to keep... they're cutting Culex.
Hopefully this gets remade as well
From the looks of it, this song's staying 100% as is
Looks like someone didn't factor in the power of three dimensions.
Me when I witness the power of post game content
God this takes me back. I never knew it was a crossover from FF. I just loved randomly coming across this guy in that one little village, I can't remember the name of it now, but you go in that one door and BOOM he appears!
Monstro Town
@@andrebaxter4023 Thank you!
Did you never play FF4 or 6 on SNES?
@@johnnythewalrus No.
Final Fantasy IV's music was perfection.
“Look. The Shiny Stone is Reacting”
Oh dear God, Nintendo Direct just confirmed Culex return for Mario RPG remake
Wonder how they'll translate this sprite to a model
HD2D
LMAO I HOPE THERE WILL BE THIS THEME IN THE REMAKE !!!
REMAKE 🎉🎉
Square Enix really giving us two remixes of Battle 2 this year huh
Soken and Yoko.
Soken is incredible. They better use him!
Did any of you guys fight this on your first play-through of the ORIGINAL super mario RPG? I ended up stumbling across this guy, and holy hell did it startle me. I thought it was just a side quest but NOPE! This guy attacks and scares the hell outa me with his sheer strength.
A guy that got his own boss music told me I was in for some shit. He utterly destroyed me. I got him back, eventually.
Jinx was the one that surprised me, even though the fact he takes up 2 pixels was a hint this wasn't going to be pretty. Like another said, everything about Culex said "YOU'RE GONNA DIE" so I wasn't surprised at all when I did 😂
One of my favorite boss battles of all time and the music goes ridiculously fucking hard like holy shit and culex or Crystallar if your playing that Japanese version of the game lines before the battle stars goes way too fucking hard
This is gonna go hard in the remake.
Wow, that boss looks too serious to be in a Mario game xD
Huetete considering its an Easter egg boss made to reference FF series I say it looks just about right
Culex shoud be a hazard in a Smash Bros stage.
Square made Super Mario RPG.
Square made FFIV/FFII
Internet, you are saying that Square stole from itself... then you are again saying that Paper Mario stole from it.
Paper Mario started out as Super Mario RPG II by Square. Yep. I won't tell you the whole story behind THAT, but let's just say that Square stopped making Super Mario RPG II and handed it to Nintendo completely.
Sigh. Maybe Square and Nintendo will make something together again someday.
This is Not the original FF4 Boss theme its the ds version
In fact is from the earlier game versions ;)
Also "Here's Some Weapons" sounds a bit like "Slam Shuffle"
@@primevalcinders I think you've got that backwards lol, LotSS came out WAY before the DS existed :P
I hope they keep this guy in the remake
I haven't played this game but I can imagine the disappointment if he was cut or replaced by another final fantasy boss so yeah
you guessed it
he's stil lthere, sadly no replacement of any kind of "addition" but he got his wish granted alright!
It might just be the FFIV boss theme, but in the context of a Mario game it goes from standard boss to "Shit just got real."
It took me forever that in terms of Final Fantasy, Mario is a Dragoon. When he jumps, he jumps off screen. And you could even count Bowser as the dragon Mario opposes.
That gave me such brain damage I'm left stupified.
So peach is a white magician and geno a black magician, right?
@@erwinemmanuel5130 Peach is a White Mage for sure, and Geno being a Black Mage checks out due to his relation with stars (meteor, comet, etc). That, and all his skills are big damage moves (hell, even Geno Whirl mirrors Meteor)
@@moonlitwyvern6840 What about Mallow then?
@@ps4pro668 Spoony bard
@@ps4pro668 mallow was the Paladin, at least as far as character arc and spells go
Ay! Here for the remake 😍😍😍. So excited!
1:38 I love those cymbals, it's not present in the original Final Fantasy 4
they are tho lol
Can't wait to hear this song in the remake!
i can definitely see myself using lighting against the water fiend in the castle to stop him from charging his tidal wave attack.
It was such a genius idea to use the FFIV boss theme
Heard this in Troia today, wondering where the hell I heard it from since 14 is my first FF. :)
I came here myself after the new FFXIV dungeon.
Technically this theme is from ff4 but the ff14 version is amazing along with that boss
Mario= Monk/Dragoon
Peach= White Mage
Bowser= Black Mage
Mallow= Red Mage
Geno= Machinist
this is their FF jobs in this game
Bowser may have some dark magic spells but he also swings around a chain chomp and fights with his claws. I'd say Dark Knight!
You all see my Username. I’m a super fan of FFIV. I beg of you Nintendo please have this in the remake.
As someone who has yet to play the original,
I'm looking forward to see just how tough this "Culex" is in the remake.
...and then later in the OG Snes version, as well! But of course!
Can't wait how he will look in HD
Culex is one the best bosses I have ever battled on an RPG I WILL FOREVER REMEBER AND CHERISH THIS MONSTER ;)
Praying Culex isn’t changed and that he still has the FF4 boss theme!
I think it's going to be remixed
from recent trailers, it looks like his theme got remixed, although culex himself is still pixel art and almost completely untouched from the original
WOOOOO THIS IS IN THE REMAKE CONFIRMED!!!
Culex has been confirmed to return in the Switch remaster :)
I've been playing this game for 20 years no guides or anything within the last 2 years I managed to find the lazy shell and beat Culex what amazes me is there is probably still hidden secrets I haven't found. Truly an amazing game. I hope we get a sequel someday I would probably cry tears of joy
Chihiro Fujioka wants to make a sequal
I'm pretty sure the beta of paper mario was called super mario rpg 2, so it kinda was a sequel but not really because it itself became its own series
This game is beyond legendary for me. I still have it but haven't played it in many years. I've been thinking about firing it up again.
If he can see Mario and friend's future, wouldn't he seem himself dying? xP
CULEX IS BACK.
WE GETTING A REMAKE LETS GOOOOOOOOOO!
Okay, he's tough, but hear me out
We're gonna get that super suit here and now
I remember when i fight with Culex,
and i remember that awesome game released in 1996...
Oh, good times!
Oh shut up boomer
@@AGZhark what
@@AGZhark Don't worry, you'll be old one day too.
Perfect bass line
Can’t wait to fight culex again in glorious HD modern graphics along with Fight 2 (boss music) from final fantasy IV remastered with it. :)
If you wanna hear a remastered version of FF4 Boss 2 you could check out Endwalker’s :)
yay easter eggs
Better put Culex on the Remake
LETS GOOOOOOOO
I hope this gets in the Remake thats coming out in 2023!
Edit: HES IN! CULEX IS IN!!!
This Boss is even more hardest than the Final Boss
I... REALLY hope this boss is still in the remake.
i dont think they would have any reason to remove something so iconic
Sadly I don’t think that’s the case cause square Enix owns the character so sorry
@@charlieasalgadosalgado1369 they own geno and mallow too which are already obviously given the OK. nintendo and square had a bad relationship from right after the release of the original SMRPG all the way through until now the switch era relations have improved which is why this game is possible
Guess what, It was "confirmed" by seeing his non suspicious door in the trailer 😅
He is in the remake
The world is not gonna be ready for the harder post-game Culex rematch in the remake
I have been trying to look for this for 3 hours!!!
This guy was way harder for me than most Final Fantasy bosses. It's not often I'm able to beat him, really.
And I've beat some of Final Fantasy history's nastiest, deadliest, most terrifying bosses.
Zeromus, Exdeath, Shinryuu, Omega, Cefca, Sephiroth, Emerald Weapon, Ruby Weapon, Ultima Weapon, Omega Weapon, Ultimecia, Hades, Ozma, Kuja, Necron, Braska's Final Aeon, Nemesis, Paragon, the list goes on.
I fear Culex more than all of them.
Except maybe Yiazmat... bastard.
"I can see your future."
My mans knew all along that the fight on the SNES wouldn't be the final showdown.
If they leave Culex and this music out of the remake, I swear to God...
I will cast KAMIKAZEE and blow myself up XD
I finally got to experience this exact song first hand in then remake without lazy shell as armor, and it was definitely my favorite fight so far
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YA LO QUIERO VER EN EL RAMAKE 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵
This boss was my first introduction to Final Fantasy. SMRPG was my first RPG after all.
I fear the day they may remove Culex in the remake, keep our hopes on
Who would win
Basically a god
OR
A plumber, a cloud, a kid's toy possessed by a star, a simping turtle and a princess who cant decide her name
Culex said he was a dark knight of some sort, but he sure looks like an evil god
It’s funny that culex isn’t actually from ff he is actually a Mario character
Watching RTGame and seeing this boss appear was such a surprise!
Now i'm REALLY interested how Culex would look in 3D from the remake. Especially how the music would sound.
I wonder if they'll keep him a 2d HD Sprite or if they'll do some sort of super realistic model with realistic shading just to emphasize how out-of-place he is
@@nintendogeek24005 I imagine something like XIV bosses... where they feel inmense in a small area... something like that
@@nintendogeek24005 Either 2D or very realistic like in XV or XVI compared to the stylized cartoony looking Mario characters.
@@nintendogeek24005isn't that his whole deal in the Japanese version? That he is intrigued by Mario and that he is pre-rendered while he is a 2D sprite..?
I'm guessing that if they want to keep that joke they should make Culex a 2D sprite ala Octopath Traveler.
Probably look like Zodiark
It’s official. Culex stays winning
This has more views than the og Final Fantasy version
I only just realized that those are supposed to be the MacGuffin crystals from FF IV
How di I miss that?
Such nostalgia.
Still slaps just as hard.
Time to download an emulator.
Thank you for this!
did you finish Mario rpg now?
here's hoping for a new version of FF4's boss theme in the smrpg remake
