Froggy

"Ribbet, ribbet, Froggy here!"

- Prince Froggy

Prince Froggy is a frog pirate that lives in a large swampy area on Yoshi's Island. He's the midpoint boss of World 3 in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and offers a truly unique challenge. When Yellow Yoshi engages the royal Frog Pirate in combat, Kamek swoops in and shrinks him, allowing Prince Froggy to swallow the poor Yoshi whole. The actual battle is between the Yellow Yoshi and Prince Froggy's uvula, and a whole lot of dripping stomach acid. Shy Guys (which appear larger due to Yoshi's diminished size) fall into the stomach, which can be turned into Eggs. Yoshi must make the Eggs hit his uvula. After Prince Froggy's defeat, Yoshi escapes through Froggy's intestines, and reverts back to normal size.

He reappears in Tetris Attack as a partner to Clawdaddy. Froggy had also reformed his evil ways and was a friend of Yoshi's to be rescued from Kamek's spell. Here, he was known simply as "froggy", as Tetris Attack ' s font has no capital F.

The name "Prince Froggy" is a reference to a fairy tale involving a princess kissing a frog and turning it into a prince. In the original Japanese version, his name is "Gerogero" instead - indicating that he is not truly royalty.
