''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' was developed by Square. There are several references to the ''Final Fantasy'' series:


*An optional mini-boss, [[mariowiki:Culex|Culex]], is an allusion to the ''[[Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy]]'' series. His overworld sprite resembles enemy designs in the 2D ''Final Fantasy'' titles, and these sprites do not have as complex animations and frames, reminiscent of early ''Final Fantasy'' games. The music heard during the Culex battle is a remix of "Battle 2", the boss battle theme for ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]''. The music that plays when he is defeated is a rearrangement of the victory music present throughout the ''Final Fantasy'' series, and the ending conversation is an arrangement of the ''Final Fantasy'' "Prelude". Culex's English name is the Latin word for "mosquito", referencing [[Golbez]], whose name is taken from a type of fly.
*An optional mini-boss, [[mariowiki:Culex|Culex]], is an allusion to the ''[[Final Fantasy (series)|Final Fantasy]]'' series, and is designed after a ''Final Fantasy'' boss. His overworld sprite resembles enemy designs in the 2D ''Final Fantasy'' titles, and these sprites do not have as complex animations and frames, reminiscent of early ''Final Fantasy'' games. The music heard during the Culex battle is a remix of "Battle 2", the boss battle theme for ''[[Final Fantasy IV]]''.

Culex's English name is the Latin word for "mosquito", referencing [[Golbez]], whose name is taken from a type of fly.
*In the Japanese version, Culex claims to be a timeless overlord made of pure evil. As a two-dimensional being, he is perplexed by the isometric forms of Mario's party, so he demands a fight to try and understand them. Upon defeat, he recognizes the party's strength and positive energy, and he and his pocket dimension disappear until the day he finally gains the solidity of the third dimension. In the English version, Culex's dialogue and backstory are completely rewritten: he is said to be a "Dark Knight of Vanda" sent by the Dark Mage, but his plans came to a halt after discovering that Mario's world is uninhabitable to him and his kind. All ''Final Fantasy'' games released before ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' were 2D, which likely inspired his dialogue for both versions.
*The Japanese version of the game includes direct references to two villains of the ''{{w|Final Fantasy}}'' series as possible answers for the Dr. Topper quiz: "[[Exdeath]]" is an answer for the first monster seen in the [[Pipe Vault]] (instead of [[mariowiki:Nipper Plant|Chompweed]]), and "[[Kefka]]" is an answer for the ultimate enemy in the adventure (instead of [[mariowiki:Goomba|Goomba]]).

*In ''[[Final Fantasy VI]]'', there is an unused enemy known as CzarDragon with an unfinished battle script, sharing a name with the [[mariowiki:Czar Dragon|Czar Dragon]] enemy in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''.
