Showdown in the sky.

Raphael the Raven returns in the game Tetris Attack. In this game, Raphael reforms his evil ways and makes peace with Yoshi. Additionally, he is a playable character, replacing the moon fairy Seren from the original Japanese version. He is in the eight level and is the last character to be saved from the evil King Bowser.

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 Yoshies of Lavalava Island. He lives in a tree high above the island and has become a legend to the Yoshies (as no one can remember actually seeing the massive black bird). He has the ability to communicate with both Mario and his Ravens (Normal Ravens can only say “caw caw”.). Raphael helps Mario by ordering his Ravens to build a device to take the plumber and his alles to Mount Lavalava, site of the fifth Star Spirit and the massive Lava Piranha. He also gives Mario the Ultra Stone, an important artifact that allows Mario’s party members to become even more powerful.
