'''Raphael The Raven's Castle''' is the [[castle]] of [[World 5 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 5]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', where [[Raphael the Raven]] is fought. This [[level]]'s playable [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] is the Blue Yoshi.
==Overview==
[[File:RaphaelTheRavensCastle1.png|frame|left|Train section]]
Blue Yoshi starts on a log bridge. The player has to start walking to the right. Blue Yoshi will come across five stone pillars. The player has to go across, but the player should not stand on the last pillar for too long, because the [[Wobble Rock|rolling rock]] at the top collapses, potentially causing Blue Yoshi to fall into a pit. Once across, the player will find a red moving platform that moves upward. When Blue Yoshi reaches the top, he will find more red platforms ready to rise upward. The player has to quickly jump onto one of the platforms, as the first one will start falling. When Yoshi reaches his way to the top, he will be confronted by a [[Goonie]] and two [[Blow Hard]]s. The player has to go up the stairs and enter the door.


'''Raphael the Raven's Castle''' is the castle of the character [[Raphael the Raven]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. It started out on the planet as a typical cloud level, but at nighttime. As it progressed, it was still outdoors, but was littered with some planetoid models that rotated and the usual traps like [[Ball 'n' Chain]]. Going higher it eventually left the Surface of the Planet and came to a large planetoid where Raphael the Raven sat. This is the only boss level that is entirely outdoors. The level is set in the middle of the night and there are stars and the ocean in the background. In the higher areas there are stars and a distant moon in the background.

Blue Yoshi will then be in the castle proper. As he starts his upward descent, Blue Yoshi will come across a Warp Pipe that spawns yellow [[Shy Guy|Shy-Guy]]s to his right. As he progresses, he will find two [[Mace Guy]]s. Halfway at the top, he will find a [[ice watermelon|blue watermelon]]. As he progresses to the right, he will come across three Blow Hards, two hanging on the ceiling, one perched on the wall under the peg platforms Blue Yoshi's walking on. After Blue Yoshi makes it through the Blow Hards, he will find a [[Winged Cloud]] containing five [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|Star]]s. The player will have to continue to the right. Blue Yoshi will find two Shy-Guys and a [[Bouncing Bullet Bill]] cannon. To the left of the cannon is a [[Smiley Flower|Special Flower]]. After grabbing the flower (or skipping it), Blue Yoshi will jump on a trampoline bubble. If he quickly strifes to his left, he will grab a couple of [[Red Coin]]s and another Special Flower. There is another blue watermelon hanging above a Warp Pipe. The player has to continue upward, and dodge the [[Bullet Bill]]s fired by out-of-reach [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannon]]s. Blue Yoshi will then go to the left, avoiding a Mace Guy and two [[Kaboomba]]s.  


==Overview==
However, Blue Yoshi can avoid the Kaboombas and find a [[Checkpoint Ring|Middle Ring]], plus yet another Special Flower, by taking the upper route. However, if the player goes through the lower route, the player will have to guide the [[Train (form)|Train]] in the room to get a Special Flower and some Red Coins. After, the player has to go through the flippers and wait for the transformation time to run out since there is no [[Yoshi Block]]. Finally, after ascending, Blue Yoshi will find some [[Goonie]]s and a couple of [[Bowling Goonie]]s. The player will reach the boss door, where the player will fight Raphael the Raven himself. However, this boss fight takes place on the [[moon]], far away from [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]. After Raphael is defeated, the player will get a key that leads to the final world in the game.
[[Yoshi]] starts off on a log bridge. The player has to start walking to the right. Yoshi will come across five stone pillars. The player has to go across, but the player shouldn't stand on those pillars for too long, because the top will collapse, leaving a stalactite that will hurt Yoshi when touched. Once across, the player will find a red moving platform that moves upward. When Yoshi reaches the top, he'll find more red platforms ready to rise upward. The player has to quickly jump onto one of the platforms, as the first one will start falling. When Yoshi reaches his way to the top, he'll be confronted by a [[Goonie]] and two [[Blow Hard]]s.

Train section

Blue Yoshi starts on a log bridge. The player has to start walking to the right. Blue Yoshi will come across five stone pillars. The player has to go across, but the player should not stand on the last pillar for too long, because the rolling rock at the top collapses, potentially causing Blue Yoshi to fall into a pit. Once across, the player will find a red moving platform that moves upward. When Blue Yoshi reaches the top, he will find more red platforms ready to rise upward. The player has to quickly jump onto one of the platforms, as the first one will start falling. When Yoshi reaches his way to the top, he will be confronted by a Goonie and two Blow Hards. The player has to go up the stairs and enter the door.

Blue Yoshi will then be in the castle proper. As he starts his upward descent, Blue Yoshi will come across a Warp Pipe that spawns yellow Shy-Guys to his right. As he progresses, he will find two Mace Guys. Halfway at the top, he will find a blue watermelon. As he progresses to the right, he will come across three Blow Hards, two hanging on the ceiling, one perched on the wall under the peg platforms Blue Yoshi's walking on. After Blue Yoshi makes it through the Blow Hards, he will find a Winged Cloud containing five Stars. The player will have to continue to the right. Blue Yoshi will find two Shy-Guys and a Bouncing Bullet Bill cannon. To the left of the cannon is a Special Flower. After grabbing the flower (or skipping it), Blue Yoshi will jump on a trampoline bubble. If he quickly strifes to his left, he will grab a couple of Red Coins and another Special Flower. There is another blue watermelon hanging above a Warp Pipe. The player has to continue upward, and dodge the Bullet Bills fired by out-of-reach Turtle Cannons. Blue Yoshi will then go to the left, avoiding a Mace Guy and two Kaboombas.

However, Blue Yoshi can avoid the Kaboombas and find a Middle Ring, plus yet another Special Flower, by taking the upper route. However, if the player goes through the lower route, the player will have to guide the Train in the room to get a Special Flower and some Red Coins. After, the player has to go through the flippers and wait for the transformation time to run out since there is no Yoshi Block. Finally, after ascending, Blue Yoshi will find some Goonies and a couple of Bowling Goonies. The player will reach the boss door, where the player will fight Raphael the Raven himself. However, this boss fight takes place on the moon, far away from Yoshi's Island. After Raphael is defeated, the player will get a key that leads to the final world in the game.
