During the events of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Fryguy, a living flame, is the boss of [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]], an icy arctic ocean; he is stationed in a tall fortress at the end of [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-3]]. When confronted by [[Mario]] and his friends, Fryguy spits [[fireball]]s down to attack the heroes. Since Fryguy is made of fire, the heroes take damage if they touch him. To defeat Fryguy, [[Mushroom Block]]s (masks in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'') must be thrown at him. After three hits, the battle enters the second phase, as Fryguy splits into four [[Small Fry Guy]]s, which must also be extinguished. Later versions redraw Fryguy's sprite heavily, with his eyes being more open, his mask being light blue instead of black, and his fire having twice as many animation frames. Additionally, his face is a separate graphic from his body in the later versions.
====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:Fryguy-SMAS.png|frame|left]]
During the events of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Fryguy is stationed in a tall fortress at the end of World 4, since their conquest is almost complete. Despite Fryguy being a living flame, World 4 is a land of snow, ice, and arctic oceans of Subcon. When confronted by [[Mario]] and his friends, Fryguy becomes enraged and spits [[fireballs]] to attack the heroes. Since Fryguy is made of fire, the heroes take damage if they happen to touch him. To defeat Fryguy, [[Mushroom Block]]s (masks in ''[[Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic]]'') must be thrown at the boss. After three hits, Fryguy splits into four [[Small Fry Guy]]s, which must also be extinguished. He was voiced by Charles Martinet in the ''Advance'' version, owing to that version including voice acting for the various boss characters. In the NES version, he has black eyes, but in the SNES version, he has blue eyes and is slightly thinner.


In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', Fryguy is shown being seemingly created on-screen by four of Wart's giant bubbles; however, instead of fire (as mentioned in the manual), the bubbles form him from an empty version of his mask.

Fryguy appears once again as a boss in the pseudo-sequel, ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]''. He makes his first appearance in the third broadcast, helping Wart and the other [[8 bits]] attack Subcon once more, but is eventually defeated by Mario and the other heroes once again. Like the predecessor, he is found in the snowy lands of Subcon and he is fought in the same way to that of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. He also shows up to attack 19 minutes into the broadcast, regardless of the player's location. In this game, he has the personality of a cultured samurai and speaks with an archaic, formal speech. He will give a discourse about ''{{wp|bushido}}'' or recite ''{{wp|haiku}}''.

Fryguy also appear in the [[Nintendo Comics System]]'s Mario comics. In the comics, there is not just one Fryguy, but [[Fryguy (species)|multiple Fryguys]]. Also, these Fryguys are not magically created living fireballs; these Fryguys are created when [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]] become engulfed in fire or lava. In one comic story, ''[[Duh Stoopid Bomb!]]'', a sole [[Snifit]] becomes a super-genius after being exposed to one of Bowser's inventions. This Snifit then performs a coup and takes over [[Bowser's Castle]]. After the coup, Bowser is expelled to "[[Fryguy Kindergarten]]".

Fryguy also appears in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]''{{'}}s ''Super Mario'' comics. In the comics, there is not just one Fryguy, but an entire species. They have minor roles in many stories, starting with "[[The Fish That Should've Gotten Away]]" in the first issue. They are also the focus of a one-page comic called "[[Fryguy High Yearbook -- Activity Page!]]" which depicts students of [[Fryguy High]] taking part in events such as a "hot baseball team that threw sixteen consectutive no-hitters," though it is also shown the school eventually burned down. The first time Fryguys are a major focus of a full story is "[[Beauty and the Beach]]," where King Koopa (under the alias "Ka-Hoopa") attempts to create some by forcing a volcano to erupt onto an island village of [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]]. In another story, "[[Duh Stoopid Bomb!]]," Bowser is expelled to "[[Fryguy Kindergarten]]" after an intelligence-boosted [[Snifit]] takes over his kingdom.

Fryguy, Super Mario Advance

Fryguy[1][2] (also spelled Fry Guy[3][4] or FryGuy[5]) is the boss of World 4 in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2. He is a ball of fire given life by Wart in Subcon.[1]

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Fryguy
The original Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic artwork of Fryguy

During the events of Super Mario Bros. 2, Fryguy, a living flame, is the boss of World 4, an icy arctic ocean; he is stationed in a tall fortress at the end of World 4-3. When confronted by Mario and his friends, Fryguy spits fireballs down to attack the heroes. Since Fryguy is made of fire, the heroes take damage if they touch him. To defeat Fryguy, Mushroom Blocks (masks in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic) must be thrown at him. After three hits, the battle enters the second phase, as Fryguy splits into four Small Fry Guys, which must also be extinguished. Later versions redraw Fryguy's sprite heavily, with his eyes being more open, his mask being light blue instead of black, and his fire having twice as many animation frames. Additionally, his face is a separate graphic from his body in the later versions.

In Super Mario Advance, Fryguy is shown being seemingly created on-screen by four of Wart's giant bubbles; however, instead of fire (as mentioned in the manual), the bubbles form him from an empty version of his mask.

BS Super Mario USA[edit]

Fryguy appears once again as a boss in the pseudo-sequel, BS Super Mario USA. He makes his first appearance in the third broadcast, helping Wart and the other 8 bits attack Subcon once more, but is eventually defeated by Mario and the other heroes once again. Like the predecessor, he is found in the snowy lands of Subcon and he is fought in the same way to that of Super Mario Bros. 2. He also shows up to attack 19 minutes into the broadcast, regardless of the player's location. In this game, he has the personality of a cultured samurai and speaks with an archaic, formal speech. He will give a discourse about bushido or recite haiku.

Fryguy, as he appeared in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode, "The Great BMX Race".

Fryguy is implied to be a species on the show, as in "Raiders of the Lost Mushroom," the terminology "a Fryguy" is used. Additionally, in "Hooded Robin and His Mario Men," the heroes try to distract Fryguy by disguising Toad and Hooded Robin as a "Frygal."
