Perhaps in another time, another game, we may have been enemies. I will treasure this memento of my journey here. 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. 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. The Dark Knight was also a master of advanced magics such as Shredder, Meteor Blast, Flame Stone, and Dark Star. Furthermore, the entire group of beings had over 12,000 HP, much higher than the final form of Smithy. 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. Each crystal had command over potent magic attacks aligned with their elemental power (for example, the Earth Crystal knew the special attack Boulder, which could damage Mario and both his allies in one strike). In battle, Culex was aided by four seemingly sentient crystals – the Earth Crystal, the Fire Crystal, the Water Crystal, and the Wind Crystal. Mario, Toadstool and Geno face Culex in combat. If Mario accepted the challenge, Culex would declare "En garde!" and the battle would begin. Without any weapon or 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 refused, Culex would say "You are wise to hesitate. The plumber could either accept or refuse Culex's offer. 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. After Mario entered the dimensional rift, Culex would greet the visitors and explain his back-story. The door could now be opened, allowing Mario and Company to access Culex in his dimensional vortex. 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. Mario returns to Culex, perhaps ready to accept the Dark Knight's challenge. To retrieve a Shiny Stone, Mario first had to buy the Fireworks from a male mole in Moleville for five hundred coins, then trade the Fireworks for a Shiny Stone from a young mole girl in the same town. The Piranha Plant neighbor of Culex actually 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. Mario and his party discovered the mysterious sealed door during their travels to Monstro Town. The seal to Culex's dimensional vortex was eventually broken by Mario, the champion of the Mushroom Kingdom. According to one of his neighbors, a Piranha Plant, Culex was "always mumbling about Crystal-this and an Evil-that." Despite waiting in a dimensional rift, Culex's next-door neighbors could still hear the Dark Knight talking to himself through the walls. Before he would leave for his home dimension though, Culex wished to the battle the Mushroom World's "strongest knight." The Dark Knight 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. As such, Culex would be forced to return to Vanda without completing the Dark Mage's assignment, as the Dark Knight could not survive in the Mushroom World's environment. However, Culex discovered that Mario's dimension was actually uninhabitable by himself and others of his kind. 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. History Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars īefore or during the events of the game, Culex crossed over from his dimension of Vanda to Mario's dimension, ending up on the Mushroom World, Mario's home planet. 1.1 Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
