Superfrog

The objective of the game is to find and defeat a witch, thus rescuing a princess, whilst achieving smaller objectives throughout the game, such as finding a golden key from the castle or escaping from captivity in a circus.

There are 24 regular levels, divided into six differently themed worlds (Magic Woods, Spooky Castle, Fun Park, Ancient Level, Ice World and Space Level). The goal of each level is to collect a set number of coins, and then reach the exit, which will only open if Superfrog has collected enough coins. Extra factors of gameplay include a timer countdown and a number of health points, both of which can be restored by finding bottles of Lucozade among the levels.

The story, present in the game's manual but mostly conveyed through the introductory animation by Eric W. Schwartz, concerns an unnamed prince, who is turned into a frog by a jealous witch, in homage to the Frog Prince fairy tale. His princess girlfriend is then abducted by the same witch. Subsequently, sulking by the "River O' Despair", the prince chances upon a floating bottle of Lucozade, which confers upon him super powers. With his new powers, the prince heads off to fight the evil witch and save the princess.

Schwartz originally included a joke cameo in introductory animation of Sonic, Mario, Zool and Zooz from Zool 2, which Team17 ultimately removed to avoid legal issues.

Superfrog was developed in 1993 and released for the Amiga in the same year by Team17, acting simultaneously as developer and publisher. Eric W. Schwartz provided the animated introduction and closing scene. The release was popular enough to spawn an Amiga CD32 version, which could also be played on some Amiga computers fitted with a CD drive, since the code remained very similar.

Due to its enduring popularity, it was then converted for the PC MS-DOS by Bubball Systems in 1994, this version lacked the animated introduction and shooting mini-game. The Amiga CD32 version was re-released as a budget game by Islona Software in 1999. In 2012, MS-DOS version of Superfrog has been, along with other games by Team17, released as a legitimate digital download from GOG.com, this version being the first compatible with Windows.

Team17's earlier games became relatively obscure after the release of the hugely popular Worms series, though many gamers remember Superfrog fondly for its solid gameplay, smooth scrolling, cartoon-quality graphics, and upbeat music by composer Allister Brimble. Although a relatively small release by the standards of blockbuster platformers like Sonic, it was well received and has retained a fan base which considers it an excellent example of the genre.
