Gameplay

Like the original game, the player's objective is to explore the map for five small colored frogs: green, orange, purple, blue, and red. However, unlike the original game the maps are more complex, rather than recycling the same basic layout each time. Each frog must be collected within a certain amount of time or the player will lose a life, and on top of this there are obstacles and traps which must be avoided. The obstacles include anything from snakes, spiders and beavers, to lawn mowers and dogs. There is also a gold frog hidden in one level in each zone; for each gold frog you find, you unlock a new zone, and finding every gold frog in the game will unlock an alternate ending sequence. There are a total of 33 levels spread out through 9 different zones, including five levels based on the original arcade version of the game.

The player begins with five lives (three on the PlayStation version). If a player dies, they return to the starting point of the level. Frogger's new abilities include being able to eat flies (which can cause Frogger to speed up or become invincible for a short period) and jump upwards onto ledges to take advantage of the 3D perspective.
