'''Frogs''' are an order of animals. In the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], real-world frogs exist along with anthropomorphic frogs who are sentient and are capable of speech.  

The [[Tadpole Pond]] is inhabited by large, sapient frogs in the duration of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. [[Mallow]] was raised by the frogs (specifically [[Frogfucius]]) and believed that he, himself, was a frog as well. The young [[tadpole]]s comprise a greater part of the population than the frogs, of which there are only two.

Frogs<ref>''Yoshi's Story'' [[Nintendo Power#Player's Guides|Player's Guide]], pg. 11</ref> also appeared as enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' during Stage 4-4: [[Neuron Jungle]]. They swarm any [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] crossing the lagoon. Although any Yoshi could eat them, [[Green Yoshi]] liked them best.

===''Diddy Kong Racing''===

In [[Diddy Kong Racing]] and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its 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 in a car.

===''WarioWare'' series===

Frogs<ref>[[The Frog Flap]]</ref><ref>[[Launchpad]] description: ''"Time the frogs' jumps so they'll land on the vines."''</ref> make minor appearances in ''[[WarioWare]]'' series. In ''[[WarioWare: Mega Microgame$]]'' microgame [[What's the Toadal?]], frogs must be counted. Crudely-drawn frogs appear in the [[List of microgames in WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!#Nature|Nature]] folder microgames [[Hoppin' Mad]] and [[The Frog Flap]]. In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted]]'', orange frogs appear in [[Launchpad]].

Frogs<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. 2013. ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' [[Prima Games]] Official Game Guide, page 62.</ref> appear again in ''[[Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon]]''. In this game, they are pigmented with warm colors, ranging from vermilion red on their body skin to yellow on their webbed toes. They croak when discovered and act as ambiance creatures. They do not actively try to injure Luigi, but can drain five heart points from his health meter if they run into him. 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 a more precious variant of frogs called '''Gold Frogs''',<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. 2013. ''Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon'' [[Prima Games]] Official Game Guide, page 94.</ref> which reward Luigi 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]].

Frogs appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they can be found in [[Cap Kingdom|Bonneton]], [[Moon Kingdom|Honeylune Ridge]], and the [[Darker Side]]. They can be controlled by Mario and [[Cappy]] and are also the first [[capture]] found in ''Super Mario Odyssey''. When possessed, frogs give Mario the ability to jump higher and shaking the [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|Joy-Con]] causes Mario to perform a High Jump, allowing him to reach even higher placed platforms.

===Other appearances===

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', there is a [[Frog Suit]] that allows [[Mario]] to become [[Frog Mario]] and [[Luigi]] to become Frog Luigi; small frogs appear as foreground objects in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', but have no effect on gameplay.
