![]() ![]() Elemental magic thus becomes useless against certain crystals. Compared to everything else in Super Mario RPG, Culex is considerably more challenging, which is probably why the creators made the fight optional.Ĭulex has a seemingly endless HP pool of over 12,000 and immediately drops in four different colored crystals to wreak havoc on your party from the jump with fire, water, earth, and wind based attacks. To unlock it, you’ll have to first purchase Fireworks in Moleville, trade them for the Shiny Stone, then the stone will “react” and unlock the battle against the interdimensional knight, Culex.įrom the character design to the boss music, which is a remix of the Final Fantasy II (or IV) boss theme, Culex is a love letter to Final Fantasy. Your only hint that something special is there is that one mysteriously locked door in Monstro Town. We were already stunned enough to see Mario and his pals taking turns in an RPG on the SNES that we could’ve easily missed the Culex battle entirely. 9) Culex from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars But if you want the “Programmer’s Ending,” you’ll need to get it done. Most gamers can’t get it done in the first playthrough, some won’t even succeed in the New Game+. For an extra challenge, try taking him down during that first meeting. When you finally push through, he morphs into a slender robot thing called the Lavos Core and summons two flying cronies to bring the pain some more.Įven at high levels, it’s a tall order taking care of this energy-eating alien entity. Lavos has a massive health pool, limbs that act independently of his body, and devastating attacks like lasers that could sweep to hit your whole group.

His first appearance at Ocean Palace is actually stacked so heavily against, the devs basically guaranteed you would lose and therefore would progress the plot based around that.Īfter this initial meeting, you can challenge Lavos at just about any point, and you’ll get one of thirteen different endings depending on when you do the deed. 10) Lavos from Chrono TriggerĪ game as epic as Chrono Trigger would be nothing if it didn’t conclude with an incredible and incredibly difficult final battle against the alien hedgehog looking Lavos. Here are our picks for the top 10 toughest SNES bosses that you may have never beat and may never beat ever. Did you face any of these behemoths back in the day? Did you whiteknuckle your way through and overcome, or spike that SNES controller into the floor and kick rocks instead? The classic console also gave us some real tough ones that many gamers even today dare not speak of. The SNES featured tons of iconic bosses from Super Mario World’s Bowser in his flying clown thingamajig to the towering gargantuan god Kefka from Final Fantasy III (or are we calling it Final Fantasy VI today?) to the lumbering Kremling commander King K. From boss design to tactics to even the soundtrack playing in the background, we live for those epic showdowns that challenge us to prove our skill and worthiness in one final bout.
