He's Back.

And he's not going to have a good time. If you don't enjoy amphibians being forcefully discarded from the gene pool, in ways unserious to unpleasant, in text or visual form, now's probably a good time to turn back.

Credits to Bones Malone (Youtube video; not appropriate for all audiences) and Frogger Wiki for most of the images.

There's no blood or anything here, this is still Frogger, but they went the extra mile on some of these animations. Also, like, a lot of these inevitably intersect with phobias - here's a basic text list with no images if you want to check in advance.

Running Out of Time
Drowning
Run Over by Car
Alligator
Snake
Beaver
Large Bird
Spider (already hidden with a spoiler in the main list)
Falling to Death
Thorns
Pit Bull
Bees
Large Squirrel
Sliding Off Cliff Into Dark Cave / Skiing
Lava
Ground Up by Lawnmower
Fireball / Meteor

This is just the first half of the game, maybe I'll do the second later.

These deaths are par for the course for Frogger, or just for video games in general. These are here more for completion than anything.

Running Out of Time
Try not to do that.

Failing to Swim
You'd think frogs could swim. But jumping in the water, or getting dragged below by misbehaving turtles, is bad. Frogger is not having a good time here.

Smushed
Yeah.

Smushed by the Truck with Your Name On It
Ironic. Great conversation starter.

Moderate
These are, like, pretty expected for a fantasy frog environment.

Alligator
You can tell it's not a crocodile because it'll see you later, and not in a while.

Snake
You can see in the corner it's coming to eat your time bar. Just kidding! Only your flesh.

The wiki says it's an otter, but those teeth have to mean a beaver, right?

Predatory Bird
Frogger supports a whole ecosystem of obligate Froggervores.

I think it's a tarantula actually
Likes to hang out in dark caves, where it's hard to see.

Bat
This game could have baseball bats and they'd fit right in.

Smushed by Basic Machinery
Thankfully the caution tape keeps us OSHA-compliant.

Impromptu Skydiving
The first pic tells me that the collision of that cloud is a bit unclear. The second tells me that the devs are laughing at you.

This feels a little unnecessary.

Skewered by Thorns
If I took the screenshot later than this, he wouldn't be recognizable as Frogger anymore.

Chew Toy
This is a ruff one. That bites. Frogger's really having his dog days huh? His chances to get out are spotty. It'd be a stretch. Even impawsible. His tail is over. His soul is unleashed from his body.

Swarmed by Bees
These guys terrified me as a kid, constantly chasing you in massive swarms. They don't terrify me as an adult, because I don't have the game anymore.

Rodent of Unusual Size
You'd be forgiven for thinking the squirrel is using its massive proboscis to drain Frogger's bodily fluids like a juice pack. That shape is just the stripe on Frogger's back.

Skied To Death
It's more like sliding actually. Maybe that's the problem.

Screen Shot 2024-06-21 at 1.11.33 PM.png
Lava
Not content with the heat from convection, Frogger takes a swim.

Dude!

Ground into Frogger Confetti by a Lawnmower
At least his spleen is safe.

Meteor
If your first thought was whether these are meteors, meteorites, or meteoroids, I have nothing to say to you.
 
Frogger ah yes, a childhood for some, a game that 90% people lost their sanity seeing a frog being brutally stuck under a truck...
And For Me I REALLY hated it as well :regiF:
(no hate I really did enjoy the game)
