Azathoth's largest argument was that it states in Culex's japanese text, and I quote, "GUOOOoooo! This power... Yes... Now I understand... The power of the third dimension is that power of legend. The power said to far surpass the fluctuations of evil. Love, friendship, joy... The power of hope for peace... It appears this strength is too much for me. Kukuku... Now I vanish... to that land... until I someday gain the power of the third dimension and the fluctuates visit yet-unknown lands..."

And while I guess I could see why he would argue that, Super Mario RPG bragged about being a 3D game.

"Take an exclusive, sneak peek at Mario's amazing, new, 3-D adventure in this month's epic center."

"The most striking thing about Super Mario RPG is the stunning 3-D scenes in three-quarter perspective."

When Super Mario RPG first came out, the big deal was that the graphics weren't hand-drawn anymore, but rather rendered in 3-D with fancy computers--which was the hot stuff back then. The japanese version--as Dino Ranger Black even stated--played around with this fact as more so a theme, not to be taken literally. I mean, why else would he be the embodiment of time itself, the fourth dimension, if he were a lower dimensional being? It's even stated, as DRB showed him, that Culex is stated as the master of space-time.

You don't just disregard facts like that just because you can. It's official. And besides, one statement doesn't demolish every other thing he stated, displayed and was told to be in the manual.

Finally, love, friendship and joy are all powerful things in the Marioverse, not just to be taken lightly. It was the power of love that killed Super Dimentio, after all.

Overall, Culex demolished his realm, had control over it, is the embodiment of time itself--which can be taken as a Low 2-C feat, etc. The list goes on.

Culex should have stayed at Low 2-C. That's what I believe.
