Plot
[edit] | This article needs an improved plot summary. (December 2011) |
The time has come for Frogger to go through his "rite of passage." He has reached an age where every frog must make the transition from boy-frog to teenage-frog. In order to make that transition, Frogger will journey to the Chamber of the Elders on his most significant birthday and stand before the eight venerable members of the Elder Council. Upon meeting the council, Frogger will be asked to enter a magic portal that will warp him into each one of the elder's worlds. These worlds will serve as a personal test for Frogger to prove that he is a teenager. In terms of the Frogger timeline, this title takes place after Frogger's Adventures: Temple of the Frog.
