It’s pretty crazy how Yoshi is able to keep up with this dude. Raph is so fast that he jumped from the earth to the moon(that’s 238,900 miles) in six seconds
Well, given the fact that the moon in this game appears to be no bigger than a large bedroom or a small house, I'd assume that for it to be that large in the sky, it must be rather close to the earth of Yoshi's Island
I remember as a kid being in awe by these graphics. You just didn't see the entire screen spin like this in anything else really, at least not freely, only sometimes in pre-set movements.
That was also in Courage The Cowardly Dog were Eustace got blasted into space when the money that he got from the government was made out of secret experimental rocket fuel from the episode: The Last of the Star Makers
Lol! I like how he flys without wings. Also this game is funny how bosses are defeated. Glad this game was included in the snes classic edition. Pretty much the only game I play. 😋
See I grew up with some Super Nintendo games, but not this one. You better believe I had the biggest grin when I reached this part on the Super Nintendo classic. This is insanely impressive for its time
Damn this guy is a savage, sending you flying to a freaking moon. Still find it weird how he looks so massive in the distance and jumps onto that moon thing looking tiny.
Yeah, it's a weird kind of perspective quirk that comes from this scene. Even though Raphael the Raven is smaller than some of the other bosses in the game, he makes a big impact by launching Yoshi to the moon, followed by making a huge constellation when he's defeated. :D
This boss funny af for different reasons, you shove wood up it’s ass multiple times and you murder it so bad that it turns into a constellation LOL look like Yoshi murdered another bird too on the right
Back in the day, I played Paper Mario first on N64. This is where I first encountered him, as a good guy. Years later, I would play Yoshi's Island on the GBA for the very time time. Not knowing that Yoshi's Island was a port from the SNES, I was so confused to why I was fighting a character that helped me in another game. Same thing goes for a few other characters from Yoshi's Island and Super Mario World.
No lie, I had a similar reaction - just the other way around! Played Yoshi's Island first, then played the original Paper Mario years later, and I was like "wait a sec, Raphael's a good guy now?" Then again, Paper Mario's universe (well, pre-Sticker Star) made a point to turn Mario "enemies" into Mario "races" featuring characters with personalities, different designs, clothing, and whatnot. I guess it's not a huge stretch to see Raphael be a good guy in this universe given the circumstances - assuming it's the same Raphael we're talking to from Yoshi's Island, that is! :D
I think it has to do with the fact that the sound-effect of Yoshi getting launched to the moon (and Raphael's flight to the moon soon after) plays over the song, where as Naval Piranha's intro has no sound-effects up until she starts chomping. A lot of old games from this era had to work within the confines of a limited number of sound channels on the hardware, and songs usually took over many of these audio channels. Depending on the sound-effect and the game, it was often that certain sound-effects played on certain audio channels, resulting in parts of a song getting temporarily cut-off in order for the sound-effect to play properly.
@@Ghalheart I figured that out and posted something very similar to this moments after this comment, can't remember quite well if it was in this video or another one. Never the less, I find it so awesome that hardware limitations can make for such epic coincidences such as this one. As I said in my other comment, the crecendo effect with the highlighted drums this has on the track makes for this intro on par of that of naval's
I'm sure they're out there, still. I *was* using it when I made this video 7 years ago, but I've moved onto far better emulators since (Retroarch and its new Higan core is my current fave at the moment).
+Switch Actually, you're right. I wrote that comment over 4 years ago when I didn't know any better. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Super FX2 chip actually rotates the sprites independent of the background layer, which was why you could have objects spinning without affecting the background. Whereas Mode 7 only affects the background layer (which was why all the bosses in Super Mario World were on a black background if there was any rotation involved), right?
I'm too late but, yes, it's mode 7. Not the sprites, obviously, but all the background layer. The Super FX just rotates the sprites (Raphael and the stars), thing that the SNES can't do by himself.
Adam Angeles Yoshi and Baby Mario both end up in Baby Bowser's realm through the keyhole. You watch a cutscene after this battle where they both get transported to the final world.
The original angry bird.
DAM RIGHT
@@spookypizzaoven2609 ok
Very kiwi bird
Gffghhh
He also looks like the club penguins
I don't blame him for being mad. I think most people if they have stakes forcibly shoved up their ass would be pretty angry also.
Yoshi is being a good role model.
Ah so THAT'S why my girlfriend has been giving me so much attitude
Eh, depends

best example of scaler effects in the 16 bit era
They way you hurt Raphael could make any man uncomfortable
It’s a definite
This was my favorite boss.
Yᴏsʜɪ_Dɪɴᴏ_Kɪᴅᴅᴏ same !
this game was such a huge part of my childhood
Raphael walks down the wall
Raphael grows to be half the size of the moon
Raphael smashes a dinosaur
Raphael is a raven
i fucking love the song
2:10 - Raphael the Raven is blasting off again!!

Migz Fuentes Anyway, I was referencing Team Rocket from the Pokémon anime
Lol! I like how he flys without wings. Also this game is funny how bosses are defeated. Glad this game was included in the snes classic edition. Pretty much the only game I play. 😋
In Paper Mario, it is shown that the ravens fly with their feets.
See I grew up with some Super Nintendo games, but not this one. You better believe I had the biggest grin when I reached this part on the Super Nintendo classic. This is insanely impressive for its time
Yoshi’s Island is the best classic pre-Nintendo 64 Mario game
6 years later, he returns as a good character to Mario and the Yoshis lol
they even had a statue of him I guess he was brainwashed by Kamek
and in the beta of Paper Mario Poochy and a Nep-Enut alos turn up. Love the game, but shame they got rid of that.
He terrifies me in phase 3.
One of my favorite boss themes ever! Why this and the final fight with Baby Bowser werent included in Smash Bros. still eludes me...
Being so high and then making it to here. The build up made this battle feel intense. Yoshi in space! Who would have thought?
Damn this guy is a savage, sending you flying to a freaking moon.

i tripped on acid while fighting this battle. fucking great.
...how the hell could you see?
Did Yoshi just launch with phisical strenght a bird so hard it flew many times faster than light, impacting on a gas cloud so hard it made a star?
No, Raphael the Raven got so mad that he flew away and exploded into a star.
Well I don't see where's the problem
Bing bam boom I fling you to the moon.
everytime you hit Raphael, he looks a little bit more... sus
What can I say? He's a star among us. :D
one of the main reason why this one my favorite boss (tied with Naval) is the little dace he does

Raphael comes back in the first Paper Mario.
Yes, he does.
This is so beautiful
Digga-legs fight is totally a reference to this, no one can tell me otherwise
Agreed
if they make another yoshi's wooly world, this should be a boss
Or yoshi's crafted world
Revenge of Rafael the raven
True cosmic terror.
Apparently, he was sent flying fast enough to leave a portrait of himself on his way.
Among Us the Raven.
1:39 afterwards Its Just me or someone else notice the glitch shortly after?
Theme's a fucking banger
This game is great
So, did this evolve into King Kai’s home planet?
This would be a sick smash level
poor fat crow so cute.
Am I the only one who finds Raphael really cute?
His default expression is kinda cute, when you think really think about it.
And now the Chubby black bro how holds a knife as the coolest blue Yoshi battle's him
its almost like a super Mario galaxy bowser fight
… why does he look like among us 😭
Penguin AMOG US
"That raven is pretty sus."
Going upside down in a gravity rotator?
Why does this intro sound so different than the naval one if they're the same track?
I think it has to do with the fact that the sound-effect of Yoshi getting launched to the moon (and Raphael's flight to the moon soon after) plays over the song, where as Naval Piranha's intro has no sound-effects up until she starts chomping.

i like raphael the raven he is so cute
Good video but why did you spend at least 10 seconds just running around the moon
IIRC, I kept screwing up trying to pound the stake.
Mind you, this was years ago. :D
And when he was on the spots, you probably had 2 or 3 seconds to ground pound that stuff twice.
Super Mario Galaxy
So you gotta peg him to defeat him
Lol zsnes. Someone still using that thing?

You're right about the FX2, but i guess Mode 7 is limited to perspective simulation, making a plane look like 3D. Like in Super Mario Kart and F-Zero
I'm too late but, yes, it's mode 7.
Not the sprites, obviously, but all the background layer.
The Super FX just rotates the sprites (Raphael and the stars), thing that the SNES can't do by himself.
Its a SUS
Those don't look like ravens 😓
He is a raven, but his wings are closed so it’s the same color of black
I think it's a fictional species of ravens
Bosh is the coolest
