Jade Jungle

Located on Lavalava Island in the game Paper Mario, the Jade Jungle is the home of Raphael the Raven. Mario needs to travel through here to reach a better route to Mt. Lavalava and ends up at a huge tree. A hole in the tree leads to a room with a staircase carved out of the wall. At the top is a huge brach and Raphael the Raven's nest. Raphael and his fellow Ravens make a pulley contraption to ride over to the mouth of the volcano, where Mario must defeat the Lava Piranha inside and rescue the Star Spirit Misstar. There are various exotic plants living in the jungle; some are beneficial to Mario, such as the Heart Plant, and others are hostile, such as the Hurt Plant.

 * ''This is where the whale comes and goes! Riding the whale here sure was fun! This is where all travelers first set foot on the beach of Lavalava Island. Beautiful water... Deep, lush jungles... A huge volcano... There's something for everyone!
 * ''These beaches seem to go on forever, don't they? I've never seen some of these flowers. They're sure pretty! I should look for some shells if we have time later. I'm going to take flowers and shells back to Goombaria. She'll be happy...and she'll also be jealous. Ha ha ha!
 * ''The entrance to the volcano is very near here. A green jungle, a massive volcano and red-hot, flowing lava. What a view! It probably wouldn't look so good if the lava were coming toward us.
 * ''I can't imagine what those Yoshi kids were thinking... ...playing in a place like this... I'm not surprised, though. Kids! Always up to something! Besides, it's natural to want to go on an adventure.
 * ''This is where we saved Sushie when she was caught up in that tree. Waa ha ha ha... I just can't help laughing when I remember that! Please don't tell her I laughed about it, Mario!
 * ''We're in Jade Jungle. Quite a lot of water, huh? Since there's no bridge, we'll have to find another way to get around.
 * ''That rotating flower down by the ledge? Locals call it a Spinning Flower. If you spin around on top of that flower, I hear that you can float upward.
 * ''I bet only jungle explorers know about this hidden underground chamber. It's so dark in here I can't see a thing.
 * ''For a jungle, there sure aren't many trees around. It gets brutally hot here whenever the sun shines directly on me.
 * ''There's a big Raven's statue. You gotta figure... A big statue this deep in the jungle... I bet it's important.
 * ''My, it's bright here! This must be on the outskirts of the jungle, huh? Incidentally, I have no idea how these Yoshi kids could come this deep into the jungle.
 * ''Ooh...it's darker in here. The trees are much thicker and that bizarre ivy seems to be growing everywhere.
 * ''What cool little fountains! Must be an underground spring.If we push these blocks over the holes to seal 'em, what'll happen to the water? Do you think it'll come out from another hole?
 * ''Looks like some of the ivy is hanging off the trees here. I wonder what would happen if you pulled on it?
 * ''What part of Jade Jungle are we in? I'm thinking we're deep in the inner jungle. I think I hear something. From just ahead, I can almost hear mysterious voices...
 * ''What a huge tree! This definitely must be the biggest tree in Jade Jungle. How old must it be?
 * ''It's so spacious in here! I can't believe we're inside a tree right now.
 * ''Whoa! We're way up high! The jungle floor looks so tiny from here! Gulp! Have I mentioned before that I hate heights?
 * ''I can't get over how huge the inside of this tree is! It's enormous! It's mammoth! And another thing, it's giant!
 * ''This appears to be the nest of Raphael the Raven. He's the guardian of Jade Jungle. This nest is really sturdy. It won't budge, even if Raphael jumps up and down on the branch.
