When [[Yoshi (species)|Blue Yoshi]] first meets Raphael, he is an ordinary Raven. However, [[Kamek]] appears and magically enhances him, 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. | When [[Yoshi (species)|Blue Yoshi]] first meets Raphael, he is an ordinary Raven.

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. | Raphael fights by chasing and ramming into Blue Yoshi around the moon to send [[Baby Mario]] flying.

He is also a playable character, replacing the moon fairy Seren from ''[[Tetris Attack#Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]''. He is in the eighth level and is the last character to be saved from [[Bowser]]'s and Kamek's brainwashing. | ||

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. | ||
Later in the game, he writes a [[List of letters in Paper Mario#Raphael the Raven|letter]] to [[Sushie]] 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. | |||

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.

*The Raphael Raven 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 how there is no sound in space. | |||
* In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', 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. | |||
*In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Raphael Raven and [[Naval Piranha]] are the only world bosses to use the extended variation of the boss theme. | |||
