While the first appearance of an anuran creature in a ''Super Mario'' game was ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', which marked the debut of [[Wart]], non-sapient generic frogs started appearing in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' as minor interactive elements. | ||

They croak when discovered and act as ambiance creatures. They do not actively try to injure Luigi, but can drain five heart points from his health meter if they run into him. They can be defeated with the [[Strobulb]], dropping a [[coin]] once they disappear. | ||
The frogs are mainly found in the [[Haunted Towers]]. They also show up in the final [[King Boo]] battle, with special giant versions of the regular frogs appearing as well, which may spawn from spiked balls after King Boo slams the ground. These giant frogs, however, do not grant any treasure upon getting flashed with the Strobulb. | The frogs are mainly found in the [[Haunted Towers]].

They can be controlled by Mario and [[Cappy]], and are also the first [[capture]]able beings found in ''Super Mario Odyssey''. When captured, frogs give Mario the ability to jump higher and shaking the [[Nintendo Switch#Peripherals|controller]] causes Mario to perform a High Jump, allowing him to reach even higher placed platforms. Mario can also jump on the frogs to receive a [[coin]]. Mario can also defeat [[Mini Goomba]]s by simply running into them while capturing a frog, since they hop along the ground as they move instead of walking. Like most enemies, they disappear after a while when Mario stops capturing them. Sometimes before being captured, they wear small top hats. A plush frog is also a souvenir for the Cap Kingdom. According to the Moon Kingdom brochure, the frogs there were brought by the Moon's first pioneers; seeing a "Moon Frog" is said to be a good omen. Like all captures, frogs will wear a Mario hat and a little mustache when captured. | ||
