Frogger (USA) (Proto)

Getting Started

Start a new game from the title screen using Enter. The core objective is to guide Frogger across a busy road and then a dangerous river, avoiding cars, logs, turtles, and other hazards. Use the D-Pad to move in four directions; pressing X (A button) makes Frogger jump onto platforms or dash across gaps. The screen scrolls upward as you progress, and you must reach the goal area on the other side to complete each stage.

Because this is a prototype, some levels may behave unexpectedly or contain rough collision detection. The menu text and on-screen prompts are in English, so navigation is straightforward. If the game crashes or locks up, it is a known issue with unfinished builds. Save states via the emulator can help you bypass problematic segments.

Your main challenge is timing: wait for gaps in traffic, avoid slipping off moving logs, and keep Frogger alive using quick directional inputs. The prototype lacks a lives counter in some builds, so treat every attempt as a learning run. Familiarity with the original arcade game will help, but this version has its own level layout.
