Broggy's first appearance is on [[Plack Beach]], when Broque Monsieur is yelling for his Broggy. He and Bowser then find him on a cliff, hiding from the two. He then proceeds to smash into Broque Monsieur, knocking him onto his side. [[Bowser]] criticizes the fact that Broggy is Broque's pet and Broque replies with "Oui, but he is not his usual self today". Bowser prepares to land a few [[punch]]es on Broggy, but Broque gives a loud cry of "NON!" and tells him to use his [[Fire Breath|fire abilities]] on him or Broggy will win. Bowser does this without too many problems and reigns victorious.

Broggy only has two attacks. One of them is to charge straight at Bowser, which must be countered by punching. Doing so will send Broggy flying into Broque, throwing him offscreen.
