In an E3 demo of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', [[Hooktail]] had a strong dislike toward frogs, but this was changed and Hooktail was given a hatred of crickets. However, she is still afraid of frogs in the translated versions of the game other than English.

In ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its Nintendo DS remake]], several frogs live in the pond in the hub. One of these frogs, who has a tell-tale red crest upon its head, is actually [[Drumstick (character)|Drumstick]], who has been put into frog form by [[Wizpig]]. He can be freed if the player runs over him with a car.

They can be defeated with the [[Strobulb]], dropping a [[coin]] once they disappear.

The frogs are mainly found in the [[Haunted Towers]]. They also show up in the final [[King Boo]] battle, with special giant versions of the regular frogs appearing as well, which may spawn from spiked balls after King Boo slams the ground. These giant frogs, however, do not grant any treasure upon getting flashed with the Strobulb.

The game also features the more precious '''gold frogs'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 94. "''Search the nearby tree to coax a gold frog out of hiding. Flash the frog, then head out through the gate and enter the Courtyard.''"</ref>, which reward Luigi with multiple [[Gold Bar]]s if he uses the Strobulb on them. Gold frogs can be primarily found on the [[East Balcony]] of the [[Treacherous Mansion]].

Small, harmless frogs appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they can be found in [[Cap Kingdom|Bonneton]], [[Lake Kingdom|Lake Lamode]], [[Moon Kingdom|Honeylune Ridge]], and the [[Darker Side]]. They can be controlled by Mario and [[Cappy]], and are also the first [[capture]]able beings found in ''Super Mario Odyssey''. When captured, frogs give Mario the ability to jump higher and shaking the [[Nintendo Switch#Peripherals|controller]] causes Mario to perform a High Jump, allowing him to reach even higher placed platforms. Mario can also jump on the frogs to receive a [[coin]]. Mario can also defeat [[Mini Goomba]]s by simply running into them while capturing a frog, since they hop along the ground as they move instead of walking. Like most enemies, they disappear after a while when Mario stops capturing them. Sometimes before being captured, they wear small top hats. A plush frog is also a souvenir for the Cap Kingdom. According to the Moon Kingdom brochure, the frogs there were brought by the Moon's first pioneers; seeing a "Moon Frog" is said to be a good omen. Like all captures, frogs will wear a Mario hat and a little mustache when captured.
