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 to his normal size while Froggy lays defeated. | ||

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. | ||

*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. | *The name "Prince Froggy" is a reference to a fairy tale involving a princess kissing a frog and turning it into a prince.

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 the Koopa]]'s defeat, where after the explosions occur, Hookbill 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. | ||
