'''Frog Pirates''' are a species of [[frog]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. They live in the swamps and wetlands of [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] and are found primarily in [[World 3 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|the third World]] of the game. If a [[Yoshi (species)|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.
