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.

[[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 enough hits, the stomach flashes various colors as Yoshi escapes through Froggy's intestines, and he reverts to his normal size while Froggy lies defeated.

History[edit]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]

Froggy is the midpoint boss of World 3 in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake, and offers a unique challenge. When 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-Guys (which appear larger due to Yoshi's diminished size) fall into the stomach, and can be turned into large eggs. 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 lies defeated.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

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 out.

Tetris Attack[edit]

Froggy reappears in Tetris Attack with a Clawdaddy for a partner. He replaces the water fairy, Elias, from Panel de Pon. He is a friend of Yoshi's who needs to be rescued from Kamek's spell.
