Shouldn't we create an article for him? Or maybe merge the part about Shag to 9-Volt? +=Dry-Petey

I agree *plants flag that signifies that i agree with this* --Toad1 (talk) 01:59, 21 July 2018 (EDT)

i meant i agree with merging the parts about 9-Volt's pet Fronk. --Toad1 (talk) 02:02, 21 July 2018 (EDT)

I do think we should have separate articles for the Fronk species and the character Fronk (9-Volt's pet). This has been done with Toad and Yoshi, so I don't see why not.--

Fronk actually only refers to 8-Volt's pet, as mentioned here; Fronk's friends are unnamed, and although the article states that "Fronk presumably refers to both the species and the character," the keyword is presumably. Also - and I realize this is still an unpopular thing to bring up - but the Toad and Yoshi examples are outdated in Nintendo's current story, and frankly some rewriting to better align things from the both ways "species and character" perspective is long overdue and much-needed.

What about Garlic/Fronk? It says "Separate the garlic from the Fronks." MarioComix (talk) 02:07, 29 July 2018 (EDT)

It seems to be localization. For example, here is another instance in Game & Wario's "Islands" game, but there is a key difference between the English and Japanese versions: the former tells you to pick your Fronk color, but the latter is telling you to choose your character and has unique names for each of the Fronk friends, and the line "Launch your Fronks!" is simply "Launch!" instead. Either way, the English translation is inconsistent with the character card. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:56, 29 July 2018 (EDT)

Well, we usually follow English official sources for things after all, but this is getting into the blurry region of localisation differences... MarioComix (talk) 00:36, 30 July 2018 (EDT)

Checking back now that WarioWare Gold is out, Fronk's species appears to have a new name according to "The Claw" and "Tread Carefully" descriptions - "mini Fronk". LinkTheLefty (talk) 17:22, 29 August 2018 (EDT)

Despite this, the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate spirit of five "Fronks" is labeled 「しゃぎぃ」 (Shagii) in Japanese. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:15, 11 February 2019 (EST)

The Fronk Image

Hey guys Look at I had founded I found it on Photobucket. Omg! Its Loana as Tina! Ehhh...

Colors

Perhaps the article can mention the exact colors that Fronks can appear? I f I remember correctly, they are yellow, red, and blue, but I'm not sure... --VirtualBoy Girl (talk) 21:59, 17 November 2012 (EST)

Split into Fronk and "Mini Fronk"

I think 9-Volt's pet, Fronk, has enough information and distinction to be split from the other of his species, the mini Fronks. However, it's vague the extent 9-Volt's pet appears in the games, so I propose two options: split the appearances which are clearly 9-Volt's pet or also include the appearance of mini Fronks which aren't directly stated to be 9-Volt's pet but have the same appearance as him (yellow, square wave head, glasses, dry mouth).

Splitting the explicit appearances of 9-Volt's pet includes his appearances in 9-Volt's third break scene and Chicken Race in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, the appearances in the microgames hosted by him in WarioWare: Twisted!, Game & Wario's character card, the cutscenes, cards, appearance in Sneaky Gamer, and the microgames hosted by him in WarioWare Gold, and the appearance in Frenemy Frenzy and 9-Volt's stage cutscene in WarioWare: Get It Together!

Splitting the appearances of the mini Fronks which resemble 9-Volt's pet includes (but not limited to) the above as well as Find My Behind, Blow Hole Bridge, the playable mini Fronk in Sole Man, Dead Simon Says, the WarioWare: Touched! version of Tread Carefully, Escape Artist, the appearance in Shutter, Taxi, and Islands from Game & Wario, Sanitation Station, A Weighty Matter, and Dig It.

If either of these options pass, then a new page titled "Mini Fronk" will be made.
