Super Mario RPG offers you plenty of fun content even after you have completed the main story. This includes the Sound Player, Stat Report, and the most anticipated Boss Rematches. You heard it right, you can battle the bosses that appeared during the story missions during the post-game events. But this time, they will appear as a stronger version of themselves.
So if you would like this challenge, our guide can help you with that. Check out here to learn how you can come across all the Post Game Bosses in Super Mario RPG.
How to Unlock Boss Rematches in Super Mario RPG
- Firstly, you need to complete all the missions (including side quests) and watch the credits roll.
- After that, you will be able to save the data.
- Load this data and you will see Mario wake up on his bed.

How to Unlock Culex 3D Secret Boss
As mentioned earlier, Culex is a secret boss in Super Mario RPG and you must beat him to beat all the post-game bosses. You can only find him if you have defeated the Duel-Ready Johnny and collected the Extra-Shiny Stone. Having this item is the most important prerequisite for unlocking the Culex Boss Fight.
Once you have collected the Extra-Shiny Stone, head back to Monstro Town. There, a black door will appear once again. So you need to pass through that door in order to unlock the Culex 3D Boss Fight in Super Mario RPG. Stay careful as this is going to be the toughest boss fight in the entire game. After beating him, you will be given a Crystal Shard that gives no stat benefits. Instead, this item is proof that you have beaten the toughest post-game boss.
