Discover all the post-game boss rematches in Super Mario RPG (2023)! Learn where to find them, their special conditions, and the rewards you'll get for beating these super-tough challenges.
Alright, so you've beaten the main story of Super Mario RPG (2023) and you're ready for some *real* challenges? Awesome! After you load up your clear data, you'll wake up back at Mario's Pad. Toad will chat with you and give you the Star Voucher. Take that over to the Marrymore Inn, talk to the toad behind the counter, and use the voucher to get a free stay. After a little scene with Geno, you'll wake up again, and Geno will mention something about lights over at Star Hill. That's your cue!
Head to Star Hill. Geno will have a few things to say, but the main thing is that the star lamps are back, and activating them reveals these new purple 'wishes' scattered around. Each one is basically a hint pointing you towards a new, super-tough boss waiting for you. Keep an eye on those wishes – they’re your roadmap to the ultimate post-game challenges!
Heads up: One of these bosses, Extra Fancy Bundt, has a nasty trick up its sleeve. It can fire a beam that deals a whopping 9999 damage to your whole party. Seriously, don't let all the candles light up, or you're in for a world of hurt!

Super Boss Culex 3D Location
Once you've snagged that Extra-Shiny Stone from Johnny and taken down all the other rematches, it's time for the ultimate test: Culex 3D. Head back to Monstro Town and find that mysterious sealed door you probably ignored before. Yep, that's the entrance! This boss fight is legendary for its difficulty and has been totally revamped for the remake, complete with an epic new soundtrack. Just a heads-up, you *must* have beaten the original Culex in the main game before you can even think about challenging this super-powered version.
