| '''Frog Mario''' is an alternate form of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] that can be attained by acquiring a [[Frog Suit]]. This form improves their underwater mobility but hampers their movement on land by only allowing them to move in short hops. | | '''Frog Mario''' is an alternate form of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] that can be attained by acquiring a [[Frog Suit]] in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Frog Mario can swim faster than regular Mario, allowing him to overcome currents in his path. Controlling Mario while swimming is also easier, as he can stop instantly, in a single spot in the water, and swim in any direction. However, Frog Mario's walking and running ability is greatly decreased. In fact, Frog Mario can only hop on the ground like a [[Frog]]. As such, Frog Mario's jumping ability is greater than regular Mario's. Frog Mario was of great help in World 3 of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', [[Sea Side]]. Also, Frog Mario can run when carrying an item such as a [[Koopa Shell]]. |

| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| | In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] were also able to use the Frog Suit to transform into Frog Toadstool and Frog Toad respectively. [[King Koopa]] also had the ability to transform himself into [[Frog Koopa]] by the use of a [[Power Pendant]]. |

| Frog Mario is a power-up first appearing in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and its [[Super Mario All-Stars|following]] [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|remakes]]. Frog Mario can swim faster than regular Mario, allowing him to overcome currents in his path. Controlling Mario while swimming is also easier, as he can stop instantly, in a single spot in the water, and swim in any direction. However, Mario's on-land mobility is greatly decreased, and he cannot [[crouch]] or [[slide|slope slide]]. This makes it impossible to complete certain levels, particularly [[Fortress]] Levels, as there are sections that players need to crouch to pass. He can only hop on the ground like a [[frog]] (though he can walk and run while carrying an item, such as a [[Koopa Shell]]). As such, Frog Mario's jumping ability is greater than regular Mario's. The Frog Suit will also prevent the player from slipping on [[Ice Block]]s. | |

| Frog Mario also [[Costume Mario#108|appears]] as one of the unlockable [[Mystery Mushroom]] [[Costume Mario|costumes]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. [[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mario]] may appear in this form if a [[Warp Door]] is knocked in Edit Mode in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style.

| Frog Mario is a power-up in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' as of the version 3.0.0 update. It is the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' game style's second unique power-up. In addition to improved underwater mobility, Frog Mario can run on water while carrying an object if the [[P-Meter]] is maxed out. The Frog form also has improved hopping controls and speed, and it can now crouch and slope slide. In multiplayer, Frog Mario is red, while Frog Luigi remains green. Frog Toad is blue with a beige spot on each side, while Frog Toadette has the same appearance, but magenta with her pigtails shown. The Frog Suit's expression changes for certain poses, such as closing its eyes while crouching, having angry eyes when running or jumping with an object or player, and its pupils looking up when carrying a player without running, much like the Frog Mario costume from the original ''Super Mario Maker''.

| The Weird Mario Easter egg from the first game also returns.

| ===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
| |
| In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', during the episode "[[The Ugly Mermaid]]", [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] were also able to use the Frog Suit. [[Bowser|King Koopa]] also used this form through the use of a [[Power Pendant]] in the episode "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]".
| |
| | |
| ===''WarioWare: Twisted!''===
| |
| Frog Mario is a form in the [[Super Mario Bros. 3 (power-up microgame)|Super Mario Bros. 3]] microgame in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' It is one the selectable power-ups, though its design has been altered slightly to include larger eyes on the costume.

| | |
| ===''Paper Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
| |
| A form of Frog Mario appears in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' when a [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)#Frog Suit|Frog Suit sticker]] is used; it only overlays the sticker onto Mario, rather than turning him into Frog Mario. With this sticker, Mario can dodge enemy attacks by jumping, and his jump attacks are also stronger, though only for one turn.
| |
| | |
| ====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
| |
| Frog Mario appears in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', via use of a [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)#Frog Suit|Frog Suit card]]. It works like it did in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', letting Mario jump over enemy attacks. It now lasts until Mario takes damage (this physically removes the Frog Suit, as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'') or wins the fight.
| |
| | |
| ===Unused appearances===
| |
| ====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
| |
| Frog Mario was planned to be in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', but did not make it into the final game. He is seen in a [[Musée Champignon]] art piece titled "Shangri-Spa Early Interior."

| *Early concept art for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' shows that Frog Mario would be able to use his tongue to slurp up and spit out enemies, which would later become one of [[Yoshi]]'s abilities in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20170213224722/http://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/157041179185/rough-concept-art-sketch-for-frog-mario-in-super|title=Rough concept art sketch for Frog Mario in Super Mario Bros. 3.

You've been transformed! Shall I change you back with this wand?". |
| *In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Iron Armor is replaced by a Frog Suit. | | *In the [[Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Mario will hoch hinaus]]", Mario is seen jumping around, saying, "It's great to be a frog", despite not wearing the Frog Suit. |
