Culex appears as an optional superboss in Super Mario RPG, found in Monstro Town behind a sealed door that requires a Shiny Stone to open. If challenged, Culex fights the player with the Fire Crystal, Water Crystal, Earth Crystal and Wind Crystal aiding him. If Culex is defeated, he permanently disappears and the player is rewarded with the Quartz Charm.
In the Nintendo Switch remake, Culex can be rematched in the stronger Culex 3D form after the player defeats Duel-Ready Johnny and obtains the Extra-Shiny Stone. Both Culex and his Crystals have greatly increased stats, and Culex will additionally cast the devastating Meteor spell at the start of the battle and every four turns afterwards. In order to defeat Culex 3D, the player must first destroy all four crystals, as they will otherwise sacrifice themselves to revive Culex if his health is depleted beforehand. Once only Culex remains, he will perform two attacks each turn.
