'''Culex''' is an optional hidden boss that appeared in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. He is a '''Dark Knight''' from the alternate [[dimension]] of [[Vanda]]. Alongside the [[Elemental Crystals]], Culex is an even more powerful boss than the main story's boss, [[Smithy]].
'''Culex''' is an optional hidden boss who appears in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Culex is a being from the alternate world of [[List of implied locations#Last Illusion|"Last Illusion,"]] who desires to do battle with warriors from [[Mario|Mario's]] [[Mario World|world]]. He appears to be a type of demon, having dark purple skin, red twisted horns and wings, a red mark along his torso, a jagged tail, and several crystals surrounding his waist. He also emanates what appears to be dark energy.
 
Culex serves as the game's {{wp|Boss (video games)#Superboss|superboss}}: alongside the Crystals, he is an even more powerful boss than the main story's antagonist, [[Smithy]], as he has 4,096 [[Heart Point|HP]], the second most of any encounter in the game (behind only Smithy's second phase). Culex, combined with the Crystals, has 12,396 HP, which exceeds both of Smithy's phases combined.


Culex's appearance contains many allusions to the ''{{wp|Final Fantasy}}'' series; the creators of ''Final Fantasy'', [[Square Enix|Square]], also created ''Super Mario RPG''. He is depicted in the hand-drawn pixel art style of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] ''Final Fantasy'' games, contrasting with the pre-rendered 3D models of the rest of the game. His overworld sprite is significantly smaller than how he appears in battle, which is another characteristic taken from ''Final Fantasy''. The songs that play during his encounter and battle are arrangements of music from the ''Final Fantasy'' series.
Culex could be considered a crossover character from the ''Final Fantasy'' series, although he has never appeared in a ''Final Fantasy'' game. Nevertheless, the Dark Knight was designed as an allusion to the ''Final Fantasy'' series, as both ''Super Mario RPG'' and ''Final Fantasy'' were developed by [[Square Enix]] (at the time of the game's release, Squaresoft).


In the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake, ''[[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Super Mario RPG]]'', Culex initially retains his original two-dimensional 16-bit appearance, offering a stark contrast to the game's revamped and updated 3D graphics. Additionally, he retains the music from the SNES version of the game even if the new soundtrack is set to play. However, a post-game rematch gives him a full model, named '''Culex 3D''', along with the Crystals; this rematch also features rearranged music.

==History==
[[File:Culex confrontation SMRPG.png|thumb|left|Culex appears to [[Mario]].]]
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars===
Culex resides in a cross-dimensional region found behind a sealed door in [[Monstro Town]]. According to one of his neighbors, a [[Piranha Plant]], Culex is "always mumbling about Crystal-this and an Evil-that." The sealed door that leads to Culex requires a [[Shiny Stone]], also mentioned by the Piranha Plant. When Mario enters the region, Culex greets him and explains his story. He then challenges the party to a battle, which the player can either accept or refuse.
Before or during the events of the game, Culex crossed over from the dimension of Vanda to [[Mushroom Universe|Mario's dimension]]. Culex eventually came to reside in a cross-dimensional region found behind a sealed door in [[Monstro Town]], a village of reformed monsters located in [[Land's End]]. Despite waiting in a dimensional rift, Culex's next-door neighbors could still hear the Dark Knight talking to himself through the walls. According to one of his neighbors, a [[Piranha Plant]], Culex was "always mumbling about Crystal-this and an Evil-that."


[[File:CulexBattle.png|thumb|Mario, [[Princess Peach|Toadstool]], and [[Geno]] face Culex and the Crystals.]]
The Dark Knight was sent to Mario's world to fight on behalf of the [[Dark Mage]], possibly with the intention of conquering the world. However, Culex discovered that Mario's dimension was actually uninhabitable by himself and others of his kind (which may or may not be a reference to how the ''Mario'' series is more lighthearted as a whole in comparison to the ''Final Fantasy'' series, to which Culex is a reference). As such, Culex would be forced to return to Vanda without completing the Dark Mage's assignment. Before he would leave for his home dimension though, Culex wished to battle the Mushroom World's "strongest knight."
In battle, Culex is aided by four Crystals – the [[Earth Crystal]], the [[Fire Crystal]], the [[Water Crystal]], and the [[Wind Crystal]]. These Crystals have magical attacks that correspond with their elemental power. All four Crystals can be defeated independently before targeting Culex, but if Culex falls, any remaining Crystals shatter one by one on their next turn.


If Mario's party wins, Culex rewards Mario with the [[Quartz Charm]]. Culex then leaves Mario's dimension as Mario is transported back to Monstro Town. The door to Culex also vanishes, leaving a solid rock wall in its place.
The seal to Culex's dimensional vortex was eventually broken by [[Mario]], the champion of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Mario and his party discovered the mysterious sealed door during their travels to Monstro Town. The Piranha Plant neighbor of Culex provided a clue to opening the sealed door, reporting to Mario about Culex's obsession with Crystals, and then hypothesizing: "Isn't a 'Crystal' some kind of a shiny rock...or something? I know I've seen those somewhere!"  This "shiny rock" was actually a [[Shiny Stone]], a small crystal that could be acquired in [[Moleville]]. To retrieve a [[Shiny Stone]], Mario first had to buy the [[Fireworks]] from a male [[Mole folk|mole]] in Moleville for five hundred [[coin]]s, then trade the Fireworks for a Shiny Stone from a young mole girl in the same town.


In the Nintendo Switch remake, he can be fought again after beating Smithy. The fight itself becomes accessible once the [[Extra-Shiny Stone]] is collected after beating [[Johnny]]'s post-game rematch. Because of the Star Road being repaired by Mario and his party, they consequentially granted the various wishes of powerful people. This ultimately included Culex, who wished to gain the power of the third dimension. He then drew them back to his realm to fight them in this new form. In this form, he uses either [[Meteor (move)|Meteor]] or [[Final Claw]] every five turns, the former deals damage equal to maximum HP minus 1 to all active party members and the latter deals 9999 damage to one party member. He also attacks twice each turn after all the Crystals are defeated. Similarly to [[Bowyer]]'s battle, the {{button|switch|A}}, {{button|switch|Y}}, or {{button|switch|X}} buttons can be disabled for several turns, rendering the party unable to use the commands from those buttons. Finally, if the player attempts to defeat Culex while leaving any Crystals alive, the remaining Crystals sacrifice themselves to bring him back with full health.<ref>{{cite|author=bloodbro2010|date=December 2, 2023|url=old.reddit.com/r/MarioRPG/comments/188ugoz/culex_revives_full_health_if_you_let_a_crystal/|title=Culex revives full health if you let a crystal survive|publisher=Reddit (r/MarioRPG)|accessdate=December 2, 2023}}</ref>
[[Image:CulexSprite.jpg|thumb|left|[[Mario]] returns to '''Culex''', perhaps ready to accept the Dark Knight's challenge.]]
Upon returning to Monstro Town with a Shiny Stone in his possession, Mario attempted to open the sealed door, causing the small crystal to begin reacting, eventually dispelling the magical seal. The door could now be opened, allowing Mario and Company to access Culex in his dimensional vortex. After Mario entered the dimensional rift, Culex would greet the visitors and explain his story. The Dark Knight then challenged Mario, who Culex viewed to have the potential to be the world's "strongest knight," to a battle before he had to leave for his home dimension of Vanda. The [[plumber]] could either accept or refuse Culex's offer. If Mario refused, Culex would say "You are wise to hesitate. Without any [[weapon]] or [[Armor (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|armor]], you have no chance." Mario would then be forced to leave the dimensional rift, but could return as he desired at a later time. If Mario accepted the challenge, Culex would declare "En garde!" and the battle would begin.


After Mario's party wins, he is reduced back to his 2D sprite due to the forces of malevolence fading and is forced to retreat to regain his 3D form, although not before keeping count of the amount of turns it took to defeat him in battle. He will also provide the player with a Crystal Shard. After defeating Smithy once this battle is won, Culex appears in the credits scene with [[Monstermama]] and the other characters, briefly appearing in his 2D form behind the background.
[[Image:CulexBattle.png|thumb|right|Mario, [[Princess Peach|Toadstool]] and [[Geno]] face Culex, the [[Fire Crystal]], the [[Water Crystal]], the [[Earth Crystal]], and the [[Wind Crystal]] in combat.]]
In battle, Culex was aided by four seemingly sentient crystals – the [[Elemental Crystals|Earth Crystal]], the [[Elemental Crystals|Fire Crystal]], the [[Elemental Crystals|Water Crystal]], and the [[Elemental Crystals|Wind Crystal]]. Each crystal had command over potent magic attacks aligned with their elemental power (for example, the Earth Crystal knew the special attack [[Boulder (Special Move)|Boulder]], which could damage Mario and both his allies in one strike). Culex himself was a powerful fighter, who had over 4,000 [[HP]], the most of any character in the game besides the final form of the final boss [[Smithy]]. Furthermore, the entire group of beings had 13,000 HP, much higher than the final form of Smithy. The Dark Knight was also a master of advanced magics such as [[Shredder]], [[Meteor Blast]], [[Flame Stone]], and [[Dark Star (attack)|Dark Star]]. All four Crystals could be defeated independently before targeting Culex, but if Culex was defeated, any remaining Crystals would shatter one by one on their next turn.


One question that [[Dr. Topper]] can ask in Western languages is what [[Jinx]], [[Goomhilde]], and Culex have in common. The correct answer is: "They live in Monstro Town." In Eastern languages, this question is instead what [[Blooper]], [[Leuko]], and [[Cheep Cheep]] have in common, with the correct answer being "They live in the sea."
If Mario was victorious against Culex and his Four Crystals, the Dark Knight would congratulate the world's "strongest knight." Culex was then able to return to Vanda satisfied, but before he departed, he told Mario: "Thank you, brave knight. I will treasure this memento of my journey here. Perhaps in another time, another game, we may have been enemies... Let us part as comrades in arms." The Dark Knight then rewarded Mario with the [[Quartz Charm]], a special [[Accessory]] that could boost attack and defense by 50% and also prevent [[instant death]]. Culex requested the plumber to "treasure it as a keepsake of [their] fight." Culex then left for Vanda, uttering the words "Farewell, champion knight!" Mario and company were transported back to Monstro Town, and the door to Culex's dimensional rift disappeared, leaving a solid rock wall in its place.

Culex was later mentioned by [[Dr. Topper]] when he was quizzing Mario at [[Bowser's Keep]]. He asked Mario what [[Jinx]], [[Goomba]], and Culex all have in common. The correct answer was: "They all live in Monstro Town."

====Culex====
As mentioned above, Culex stands out in the game ''Super Mario RPG'' for being an allusion to the conventions of the ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy series]]''. Culex is described as being a Dark Knight, a common class of character from the ''Final Fantasy'' series. Furthermore, Culex's master, the Dark Mage, may be a reference to the [[Black Mage]], another common class found throughout the series.

==Regional differences==
Culex's alignment and motives differ drastically between the Japanese and English versions.<ref>{{cite|url=legendsoflocalization.com/culex-is-quite-different-in-japanese-super-mario-rpg/|title=Culex is Quite Different in Japanese Super Mario RPG|publisher=Legends of Localization|accessdate=February 2, 2016|archive=web.archive.org/web/20160401035355/https://legendsoflocalization.com/culex-is-quite-different-in-japanese-super-mario-rpg/}}</ref>


In the Japanese version, Culex claims to be a timeless overlord made of pure evil. As a two-dimensional being, he is perplexed by the three-dimensional forms of Mario's party, so he demands a fight to try and understand them. Upon defeat, he recognizes the party's strength and positive energy, and he and his pocket dimension disappear until the day he finally gains the solidity of the third dimension.
Also, Culex notably has two different sprites in the game, one for the overworld and a much larger one for battle, just like bosses in the ''Final Fantasy'' series. ''Super Mario RPG'' enemies (except for [[Valentina]], [[Johnny]] and [[Magikoopa]]), on the other hand, have the same sprite for both the overworld and for battles. Indeed, in the style of early ''Final Fantasy'' games, all enemies and bosses are rendered as static pieces of two-dimensional character artwork, lacking any kind of animation. Similarly, in battle Culex is rendered as a two-dimensional image that does not change when attacking or being attacked, unlike the three-dimensional models of all other enemies in ''Super Mario RPG'', which can go through complex animations when attacking, being attacked, and even walking in place.


In the English version, Culex is said to be the "Dark Knight of Vanda" sent by the [[List of implied characters#Dark Mage|Dark Mage]], but his plans came to a halt after discovering that Mario's world is uninhabitable to him and his kind. He remains in a secure location in the hopes that the world's "strongest knight" will seek him for a challenge before he departs. He has nobler mannerisms, and attempts to leave Mario's company on good terms.
Additionally, Culex himself somewhat resembles the final form of Kefka, the final boss of ''[[wikipedia:Final Fantasy VI|Final Fantasy VI]]''. Culex's battle music is the same as the Final Fantasy IV boss battle music.


The remake changes Culex's depiction to be consistent in all languages. It is primarily based on the original Japanese version, in particular his perplexion for the three-dimensional forms for Mario's party that acted as his motivation for fighting them, and his nature as an evil being rather than a noble one. In Western languages, his Dark Knight of Vanda title and ties to the Dark Mage are retained.
The four Elemental Crystals used by Culex in battle are also important reoccurring artifacts from the ''Final Fantasy'' series, appearing in many games in the series with different functions in each. All four Elemental Crystals featured in the battle are from the original ''Final Fantasy'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]].


==Allusions to ''Final Fantasy''==
Moreover, the three music tracks played when around Culex are remixes of three music tracks from the ''Final Fantasy'' series. His Battle Music is a remix of the Battle Music from ''Final Fantasy IV'', the music that plays when Mario defeats Culex is a remix of the Victory Music present throughout the ''Final Fantasy'' series, and the Conversation with Culex is a remix of ''Final Fantasy'''s main theme. Lastly, Culex breaks the [[fourth wall]] when telling Mario: "Perhaps in another time, another game, we may have been mortal enemies..." The Dark Knight is of course referring to his origin from the ''Final Fantasy'' series, versus Mario's place in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]].
Culex himself is an allusion to the ''{{wp|Final Fantasy}}'' series, as ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' is developed by [[Square Enix|Square]], who are the creators of the ''Final Fantasy'' series. Culex has two different sets of game sprites, one for the overworld and a much larger one for battle, with the former being from a more top-down perspective instead of isometric like other enemies. His overworld sprite resembles enemy designs in the 2D ''Final Fantasy'' titles, and these sprites do not have as complex animations and frames, reminiscent of early ''Final Fantasy'' games. This is particularly pronounced in the Nintendo Switch remake, which reuses Culex's sprite from the SNES version instead of updating him to match the new art style. Moreover, the three music tracks associated with Culex are rearrangements of three music tracks from the ''Final Fantasy'' series: his battle music is a rearrangement of "{{fandom|finalfantasy|Battle 2 (Final Fantasy IV)|Battle 2}}", the boss battle theme from ''{{wp|Final Fantasy IV}}''; the music that plays when he is defeated is a rearrangement of "{{fandom|finalfantasy|Victory Fanfare}}", the victory music present throughout the ''Final Fantasy'' series, and the ending conversation is an arrangement of the ''Final Fantasy'' "{{fandom|finalfantasy|Prelude (theme)|Prelude}}". In the Japanese version, Culex mentions「{{ruby|次元|じげん}}のはざま」(''jigen no hazama'', dimensional rift), which is the same as {{fandom|finalfantasy|Interdimensional Rift (Final Fantasy V)|a location}} in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy V}}''. Culex's English name appears to have a similar origin as {{fandom|finalfantasy|Golbez}} from ''{{wp|Final Fantasy IV}}'', who is named after the Golubaeser fly, as "Culex" is a genus of mosquito. His English Dark Knight of Vanda title may also be a reference to {{fandom|finalfantasy|Cecil Harvey|Cecil}} from the same game, introduced as a {{fandom|final fantasy|Dark Knight (job)|Dark Knight}} of {{fandom|final fantasy|Baron (Final Fantasy IV)|Baron}}. In the Nintendo Switch remake, his in-game description in the Monster List claims that he hails from the world of "[[List of implied locations#Last Illusion|Last Illusion]]", a play on the name "''Final Fantasy''", and that said world is based on "a story about crystals", a common narrative device in the earlier ''Final Fantasy'' titles. In addition, his defeat animation in the remake has him disintegrating in both his standard and 3D Culex fights, referencing a common defeat animation for final bosses in the ''Final Fantasy'' games.
