Raphael the Raven is the boss of World 5, within his boss level, Raphael The Raven's Castle. He is fought on a moon in space. When Raphael is enlarged, he bumps into Blue Yoshi, causing him to lose his eggs. Because of this, Blue Yoshi can only damage Raphael by Ground PoundingStumps protruding from the moon, but only if Raphael is standing on a hole on the opposite end. Raphael can still be damaged by Blue Yoshi if he quickly Ground Pounds the stump while Raphael is moving to damage him.
Raphael's behavior consists of jiggling and trotting around the moon, with his only main attack being to cause two sparks to circle around the moon. The more hits Raphael takes, the redder and angrier he becomes. Upon being defeated, Raphael flies into the starry sky and becomes a star.
Raphael is the seventh boss of Vs. Mode in the Game Boy version and the eighth boss in the Super Nintendo Entertainment System version. In the latter version, Raphael replaces the Seren from Panel de Pon.
Raphael the Raven has mellowed out and become an ally of Mario's. Raphael retains his large size. Mario has trouble getting into Mt. Lavalava and requests the help of Raphael the Raven. Raphael agrees to this, so he has the other Ravens build a transportation system that allows Mario to get into Mt. Lavalava.

He's Raphael the Raven, the guardian of this jungle. Look at the size of

I bet there's nothing he can't do. Doesn't he seem trustworthy?

The basically laid-back Ravens come in several sizes. The smaller ones travel in flocks or traipse around small platforms all day long. The biggest of their breed is called Raphael the Raven, and his enormous size renders most direct attacks useless. Instead of fighting, Raphael and the Ravens helped Mario out in Paper Mario.
