Frog Pirates[1] are enemies in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake. These frogs live in the swamps and wetlands of Yoshi's Island and appear mainly in World 3. If a Yoshi comes too close to one, it will lash out its tongue and try to steal Baby Mario. Stepping on its head only disables it for a moment, so Yoshi should instead try to throw an egg at the frog or swallow it. Spitting out a Frog Pirate will only make it fall off the screen, enabling it to respawn later.
The World 3 mid-boss Froggy is based on this enemy, and unlike other bosses in the game, bears no visible differences to the enemy he is based on. In the Japanese version of the game, Froggy and Frog Pirates have the same name (Gerogēro). In Froggy's boss fight, it is implied that Frog Pirates like to eat Shy-Guys.
