'''Kleptoads'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 27.</ref> are [[frog]]-like enemies who appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Their name is possibly a portmanteau of "{{wp|kleptomania}}" (like [[Klepto]]'s name), a mental illness where a person has an uncontrollable urge to steal things, and "toad," referring to their appearance.
'''Kleptoads'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. 2010. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Premiere Edition guide. Page 27.</ref> are [[frog]]-like enemies who appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Their name may have derived from [[wikipedia:Kleptomania|kleptomania]] (like [[Klepto]]'s name), which is a mental illness where a person has an uncontrollable urge to steal things.  


They only appear in [[Hightail Falls Galaxy]] in the [[Silver Stars in Hightail Falls]] mission. They are little blue frog-like creatures that jump and also burrow into the ground and appear out of a random spot similar to [[Gobblegut]]. Sometimes, they have a type of item above their heads and try to keep it by jumping. When an item is on the ground, they might pick up the item and try to keep it. Also, if one gets defeated, another tries to pick the treasure up. They can be defeated by having [[Yoshi]] eat them or [[jump]]ing on top of them.

In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Frogs are replaced by Kleptoads.
