History
Yoshi series
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Prince Froggy's the midpoint boss of World 3 in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and offers a truly unique challenge. When Yellow Yoshi engages the royal Frog Pirate in combat, Kamek swoops in and shrinks Yoshi, allowing Prince Froggy to swallow the poor Yoshi whole. The actual battle is between the Yellow Yoshi and Prince Froggy's uvula, with hazardous dripping stomach acid. Shy Guys (which appear larger due to Yoshi's diminished size) fall into the stomach, which can be turned into Eggs. Yoshi must throw the eggs at the prince's uvula. After enough hit, Yoshi escapes through Froggy's intestines, and reverts back to normal size.
Tetris Attack
He reappears in Tetris Attack as a partner to Clawdaddy. Froggy had also changing his evil ways and was a friend of Yoshi's to be rescued from Kamek's spell. Here, he was known simply as "froggy", as Tetris Attack's font has no capital F.
Wario Land 3
