King Fret is a character in Yoshi's Safari. He is the father of Prince Pine, the king of Jewelry Land and a friend of Princess Peach. King Fret and Prince Pine are kidnapped by Bowser in his plot to take over Jewelry Land. Bowser also steals twelve magical gems, splitting the kingdom into the Light Realm and the Dark Realm.
