Froggy is the midpoint boss of [[World 3 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 3]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', and offers a unique challenge. When [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] engages the [[Frog Pirate]] in combat, [[Kamek]] swoops in and shrinks Yoshi, allowing Froggy to swallow the Yoshi whole. The actual battle is between Yoshi and Froggy's uvula, with hazardous stomach acid dripping from the top. [[Shy Guy|Shy-Guy]]s (which appear [[Mega Guy|larger]] due to Yoshi's diminished size) fall into the stomach, and can be turned into large [[egg]]s. Yoshi must throw the eggs at the prince's uvula. After each hit, the stomach becomes progressively redder. After enough hits, the stomach flashes various colors as Yoshi escapes through Froggy's intestines, and he reverts back to his normal size while Froggy lays defeated.
 
===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:PrinceFroggySuperMarioKun.png|thumb|Froggy in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
In the adaptation of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' from volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Prince Froggy swallows Yoshi, Mario, Luigi, and Baby Mario. Shy Guys fall on the group, but they are avoided. Yoshi attempts to hit the uvula, and although the egg bounces many times in the stomach, it misses the uvula. Finally, a giant Shy Guy lands on them. Yoshi eventually finds a star, which turns Baby Mario into [[Superstar Mario]]. Baby Mario then runs up the walls and gives the uvula a beating. This causes Froggy to defecate the characters out.
 
===''Tetris Attack''===
Prince Froggy reappears in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'' with a [[Clawdaddy]] for a partner, and is known simply as Froggy. He replaces the water fairy, Elias, from ''[[Tetris Attack#Panel de Pon|Panel de Pon]]''. He is a friend of Yoshi's who needs to be rescued from [[Kamek]]'s spell.

==Trivia for Frog Prince+==
*The name "Prince Froggy" is a reference to a fairy tale involving a princess kissing a frog and turning it into a prince. However, in the original Japanese version, his name is "Gerogēro," the same name as ordinary Frog Pirates, tying in with how the rest of the bosses are given generic names that are typically just an identifier for their size and their species name; as he is not resized, he remains a generic member of the species.
*He is the only boss that is not affected by Kamek's magic. In turn, he is also the only boss that does not explode, signifying defeat - Yoshi does the explosion effect instead.  Accordingly, the effect might just signify the reversion of Kamek's spells. The latter is supported with [[Hookbill Koopa]]'s defeat, where after the explosions occur, Hookbill Koopa bursts out of the destroyed shell in his original size, as well as the defeat of Big Baby Bowser, where upon exploding, he is clearly restored to his original size.
*Real-life frogs lack uvulas entirely.
*Although Prince Froggy's boss fight in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' takes place inside his stomach, Toadies still appear to abduct Baby Mario if Yoshi is harmed and unable to retrieve the lost baby.

Template:Rename Template:Species-infobox Frog Pirates[1] are a species of frog in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. They live in the swamps and wetlands of Yoshi's Island and are found primarily in the third World of the game. If a Yoshi comes too close to one, it will lash out its tongue and try to steal Baby Mario. Stepping on its head only disables it for a moment, so Yoshi should instead try to throw an Egg at the frog or swallow it. Spitting out a Frog Pirate will only make it fall off the screen, enabling it to respawn later.

The World 3 mid-boss Prince Froggy is based on this enemy, and unlike other bosses in the game, bears no visible differences to the enemy he is based on. In the Japanese version of the game, Prince Froggy and Frog Pirates have the same name (Gerogēro).
