One of the neatest things about the Mario series of games is that the designers made it very clear who their influences were. The same studio that came up with Super Mario RPG was also in charge of creating the Final Fantasy series, and the two clearly crossed over with the appearance of Culex. Although Culex never actually appears in any Final Fantasy games, he is clearly a boss inspired by the game, and better yet, he spars with Mario to help prepare him for the end boss of the game. He offers a very strict test that many say is just as hard as the end boss, so if you are thinking that you are finished with the game and you want to see if your levels are high enough, this is the guy you want to test out.
Culex appears in Monstro Town and many gamers stumble upon him by accident. He lives behind a door that is tough to get to, but once you find him, it will be an experience you will never forget. Culex is without a doubt one of the coolest monsters in the history of gaming and the coolest Mario character of all time. I can’t wait for Super Mario Galaxy 2!
