| Froggy is the midpoint boss of [[World 3 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 3]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|remake]], and offers a unique challenge. When [[Yoshi (species)|Yellow Yoshi]] engages the [[Frog Pirate]] in combat, [[Kamek]] swoops in and shrinks Yellow Yoshi, allowing Froggy to swallow Yellow Yoshi whole. The actual battle is between Yellow 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 Yellow Yoshi's diminished size) fall into the stomach and can be turned into large [[egg]]s. Yellow 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 Yellow Yoshi escapes through Froggy's intestines, and he reverts to his normal size while Froggy lies defeated. | | Froggy is the midpoint boss of [[World 3 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 3]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', and offers a unique challenge.

| | He reappears in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'' as a partner to [[Clawdaddy]], known as simply Froggy. Having apparently changed his evil ways, he was a friend of Yoshi's who needed to be rescued from [[Kamek]]'s spell. |
| In the adaptation of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' from volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', Froggy swallows Yoshi, Mario, Luigi, and Baby Mario. Shy Guys fall on the group, but they are avoided. Yoshi attempts to hit the uvula, and although the egg bounces many times in the stomach, it misses the uvula. Finally, a big Shy Guy lands on them. 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.

| Froggy reappears in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'' with a [[Clawdaddy]] for a partner. He replaces the water fairy, Elias, from ''{{iw|nwiki|Panel de Pon}}''. He is a friend of Yoshi's who needs to be rescued from [[Kamek]]'s spell. He appears to be bigger in this game than in his first appearance, being the size of his Clawdaddy partner in VS mode and having a separate [[Frog Pirate]] on his head in Endless.

| | | Just as in the game volume 14 of the ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' is adapted from, Froggy swallows Yoshi, Mario, Luigi, and Baby Mario. Shy Guys fall on the group, but they are avoided. Yoshi attempts to hit the uvula, and although the egg bounces many times in the stomach, it misses the uvula. Finally, a giant Shy Guy lands on them. 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. |

| ==Notes==
| |
| *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.
| |
| *He is the only boss that is not affected by Kamek's magic. In turn, he is also the only boss that does not explode, signifying defeat - Yoshi does the explosion effect instead as he returns to his normal size. 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.
| |
| *Despite Froggy possessing one, real-life frogs lack uvulas entirely.
| |
| *Although Froggy's boss fight in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' takes place inside his stomach, Toadies still appear to abduct Baby Mario if Yoshi is harmed and unable to retrieve the lost baby.
