'''Raphael the Raven''' (also known by the shortened name '''Raphael Raven''') is the leader of the [[Raven]]s and first appears as the boss of the [[World 5 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|fifth world]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Initially, he is an ordinary Raven, but is magically enlarged by [[Kamek]] to fight the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. Even after his defeat, he remains huge. In ''[[Tetris Attack]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario]]'', he appears as an ally.

Raphael begins as an ordinary Raven at first, but when [[Yoshi (species)|Blue Yoshi]] shows up, [[Kamek]] appears and magically enhances Raphael, increasing his size and strength. Then, Raphael slams into Blue Yoshi, sending it and [[Baby Mario]] flying to a small [[moon]]. Additionally, the force of the attack makes the Yoshi lose all its [[Yoshi Egg|eggs]]. Raphael then launches himself to the moon and prepares for battle. Raphael fights by chasing and ramming into Blue Yoshi around the moon to send [[Baby Mario]] flying. He also attacks by jumping into the air and slamming the ground, creating shockwaves that circle the moon. The moon's interior is quartered by two [[Stump]]s extending its diameter, the ends of which jut out from two points on the surface. Yoshi must [[Ground Pound]] one of these while Raphael is on the opposite end to damage him. With each hit, Raphael becomes redder, angrier, and faster. After three successful hits, Blue Yoshi defeats Raphael and Raphael becomes a constellation in the sky. This boss battle is the only instance in which [[Baby Mario]] does not cry when he falls off Yoshi's back, but he can still be taken away by the [[Toady|Toadies]], possibly referencing the fact that there is no sound in space.

Along with [[Naval Piranha]], they are the only world bosses to use the extended variation of the boss theme.

Raphael's sprite has a star on his belly. However, since the star is always the same palette as his skin, it is never seen in-game.{{ref needed}}
====''Tetris Attack''====
[[File:Raphealtetrisattack.png|thumb|right|'''Raphael the Raven''' on the left of the screen.]]
Raphael the Raven returns in the game ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', allied with the [[Shy Guy]]s. In this game, Raphael is not considered an enemy. He is also a playable character, replacing the moon fairy Seren from the original Japanese version. He is in the eighth level and is the last character to be saved from [[Bowser]]'s and Kamek's brainwashing.

Although Raphael the Raven does not appear as a boss in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', he still makes a cameo. In the intro, one part shows a group of bosses from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', including Raphael and the others.

Although Raphael the Raven did not appear as a boss in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', in [[World 2 (Yoshi's New Island)|World 2]], the [[Kamek]] mini-boss battle is similar to the Raphael the Raven boss battle. [[Giant Raven]]s also resemble Raphael the Raven.
A large Raven, sharing a similar size to Raphael the Raven and perhaps inspired by him,<ref>''Yoshi's New Island'' internal filenames (<tt>kyutyan_a_big.csv</tt>, <tt>kyutyan_b_big.csv</tt>, <tt>kyutyan_c_big.csv</tt>, <tt>kyutyan_s_big.csv</tt>)</ref> appears in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. Instead of being a boss, it is a generic enemy, and acts much like the other Ravens though is much larger than them; this Raven can be defeated in the same way. It is found in [[Eggstraordinary Terrain]] in the area above the beanstalk.  


In [[World 2 (Yoshi's New Island)|World 2]], the [[Kamek]] mini-boss battle is similar to Raphael's, in that Yoshi has to pound stumps in order to damage Kamek.
===''Paper Mario''===
[[File:Pm chap5 raphaelultra.png|thumb|left|180px|Raphael and his Ravens in ''Paper Mario''.]]
[[File:PMRaphael.PNG|frame]]
Raphael the Raven reappears in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. In this game, Raphael is the leader of a tribe of reformed Ravens that live in peace with the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] of [[Lavalava Island]]. He lives in nest in a tree in [[Jade Jungle]] and has become a legend to the Yoshis (as no one except the [[Village Leader]] can remember actually seeing him). He has the ability to communicate with both [[Mario]] and his Ravens. Raphael helps Mario by ordering his Ravens to build a pulley contraption to take Mario and his allies to [[Mt. Lavalava]], site of the [[Misstar|fifth]] [[Star Spirits|Star Spirit]] and the [[Lava Piranha]]. He also gives Mario the [[Ultra Stone]], an item that allows Mario's party members to become even more powerful.


===''Tetris Attack''===
Later in the game, he writes to [[Sushie]] a [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Raphael the Raven|letter]] which the player can read at the [[Post Office]] in [[Toad Town]]. In the letter, he asks whether he can provide help for Sushie, such as helping her climb the tree or cooking things she wants to eat.

Raphael the Raven makes a cameo in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as a trophy. The information states that he is the biggest Raven, although it is Kamek who enlarged him. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', he appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]]. The Sticker's information states that the artwork is from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''; however, it actually uses the retouched ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' artwork. Raphael also makes an appearance in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|Spirit]] which makes the fighter immune to any tripping effect like the earthquake hazard and the Banana peels.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The moon where Raphael is fought in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' can be seen in the Yoshi's Island stage from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', howver it is off camera, so the best way to see him is to use [[Olimar's]] Final Smash, [[End of Day]], to shift the camera upwards.
*[[Digga-Leg]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' has a similar battle style to Raphael in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. Coincidentally, both are fought in space.
