[@themaritimegirl]

I always liked this boss battle from a technological standpoint. It's a novel demonstration of the SNES's graphics capabilities.

[@Eyedunno]

It's kinda not though, because this game used the Super FX chip to do things the SNES couldn't do on its own.

[@rovertronic]

isn't the background/planet just mode 7 rendering? Same as mario kart plane? Star fox for snes uses super fx chip, i dunno if this game used it. correct me if i'm wrong

[@MeowieGamer]

@@rovertronic it uses the SFX2 for sprite scaling

[@robertlauncher]

@@MeowieGamerIn other words, not for the background rotation effect? That would be even cooler

[@zimzillakilla]

​@@Eyedunnonot really, the SFX2 chip was uses for scaling and poligon rendering and making the game run smoothly

i find him more funny than cute

[@allenvanderbeak]

Am I the only one who at 0:07 would absolutely cry laughing as a small kid? Something about the music with raphael looking around, then taking off so suddenly to fly to the moon was the funniest thing ever to me.

Bro I'm crying as a grown up

Dude same, his derpy face as he just levitates out of the stratosphere is gold

[@TheSuperPlayer707]

I just love how chilled and relaxed looks normally… just to turn into a freaking demon when it's angry. I see Raphael as one of those guys that were heart filled fools, but the ones you really don't want to see them angry. Kinda like Ed in _Ed, Edd 'n Eddy_ with a pebble on the shoe.

THIS IS SUCH AN AMAZING BOSS FIGHT. IF ANYONE MANAGED TO RECREATE THIS IN MARIO MAKER THEY'D BE HAILED AS THE BEST MARIO MAKER CREATOR EVER TO HAVE LIVED.

[@retroelectro6937]

They did! In Unseparate Birdo and Yoshi (2 years Mario maker), Apparently, Raphael the Raven, Wart, Bowser Junior and Kamek team up to separate the two. You go thru some stuff, and at the end, you get to fight the gaint birb... sort off. It's a blue spike top at the bottom of a small planet-ish thing. You, as yoshi in a giant winged boot (to recreate the flutter jump) have to ground-pound the empty chain-chomp pegs. when the peg is gone, you wait until the spike top is at the bottom of the mini planet thing, you ground-pound the same spot. somehow, it kills the blue spike top, and you get the key to procceed to the wart fight. Very complicated.

[@erainmartinez8175]

best 1 out of all of them!

DFV tweet brought me here look at the description: This boss took longer than expected... lets goooo

[@theawsumone1814]

this boss was Super Mario Galaxy, before Super Mario Galaxy, WAS Super Mario Galaxy!

[@coolbionicle]

I always wondered why this intro and the naval pirhana one sounded so different and and fitting to each one respectively. And I think I figured out why. It's because sprite sounds and one of the chords in the intro share the same channel and sprite sounds have priority so they mute that chord, making the note flat. In the pirhana intro it only flattens when pirhana bites after transforming creating a badass intro with a looming "oh shit" silence when the transformation finishes. With raphael the channel is muted at the start because of the flying sound, giving off a suspensefull crecendo highlited by a more distinct drumbeat thanks to the muted chord at the start. And the funny part is that it fits in so damn well on both cases!

[@tranquelmischief]

This should be a level in Smash Bros it'll be the polarizing rainbow road of the game.

[@kayin4o8]

DUDE!!!! 🤯🤯🤯

[@Brick_Eater_]

JUST HIT THE FUCKING STUMPS ALREADY

[@nik0o99]

this boss fight blew my mind as a child

[@LogoFreak93]

My fan theory regarding this battle: This battle doesn't take place on the moon, but on a larger raven ball in the stratosphere (possibly even the upper troposphere) above whatever the Mushroom Kindgon's version of Earth is. Notice how they seem to be above the (mostly cumulus) clouds by a good bit but can still see the details in them, and the castle on the mountaintop is clearly visible. Also, notice that gravity has not changed, larger raven balls allow anyone to run around them while Yoshi's feet are too large for the smaller ones. If they were on the moon, it'd be a normal boss battle with low gravity and "Earth" would look sort of moon-sized in the background. Also, Yoshi and Baby Mario appear to be breathing just fine, so they aren't even above the Armstrong line (the place where the effects on the body are similar to that of outer space). The actual moon is still glowing bright yellow in the sky behind them. Furthermore, this object is much too small, even for just the upper troposphere, to be seen in the sky. It appears to be about 20 feet in diameter. An object that's 20 feet in diameter would cease to be visible at less than a mile in the sky. So, as cool as a space battle would have been, none of the game takes place in outer space.

I wonder if baby Mario doesn't cry here because of the "in space, no one can hear you" line...

its weird... iv beaten this game a number of times and i always forget what to do in that boss.. its kinda evident here, since i recorded this while i was playing thru the entire game and wanted to put videos on youtube

OMG I hope the "sequel" to SMG is Super Yoshi Galaxy. Although of course it could expand the notion of what the 'galaxy' part of it entails... like, massive planets with sprawling forests and jungles and distinct islands on which you can circumnavigate both hemispheres and witness amazing horizons and sunsets etc

[@GoodnightGom]

So this is where they got the concept for Mario Galaxy, awesome! :D

[@mangleman25]

This's such an epic fight. It's almost like something out of an action Shonen anime lmao: Raphael charges Yoshi, knocking him off the castle walls so hard he flies into the atmosphere, landing safely on an artificial moon and completely unfazed. Raphael follows suit and once again attacks Yoshi again and again, but Yoshi holds his ground, only further enraging Raphael. Now extremely furious, Raphael starts pounding the moon, emitting vast shockwaves. Yoshi dodges and lands the final blow, knocking Raphael away from the moon at faster-than-light speeds with so much power as to literally burst him into a star. Thus, the Koopa Kingdom awaits! (See what I mean? That's some DBZ shit right there.)
