It sounds to me like you still need to find a lot of the hidden gear in the game. That does include the frog coin items, but it also includes a number of hidden chests, and the lazy shells. These will help massively for a lot of these challenges by making missteps more survivable. Also, make use of the new in-battle character switching mechanic. Swapping your healer in and out is critical to keep damage output up.
The bombs will "bounce back" from attacks that "blow back" things, at least from what I found. Samus, by the way, I think she appears after Toadstool Kingdom's town is overrun with the Smithy gang.
Culex isn't actually a Final Fantasy boss. His theme song is straight from Final Fantasy IV, but he really is more of a caricature, a sort of "stereotype" of what a Final Fantasy boss is, and I certainly appreciate that because that makes him more original than, say, tossing in Kefka or something. You know, I think coins might really be a bit easier to get this time around, though frog coins are still just as limited near as I can tell. It might also be that I tend to grind MORE in games on replays than I do on first runs.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
