Frogger's Adventures 2: The Lost Wand Script

Cutscene : No Laughing Matter
[The game starts out with an establishing shot of Frogger’s house. There, the titular character is soaking up the sun on a lawn chair on what appears to be an ordinary day in Firefly Swamp.]

Frogger: [stretches and yawns] Taking it easy and relaxing is nice, but it’s getting old. I wanna go on another adventure!

[He grabs his drink and walks indoors. He opens his refrigerator door to grab a snack when all of the sudden, several doves come flying out. They soar into the sky, leaving Frogger flabbergasted.]

Frogger: What the… ! Whoa, what are doves doing in my fridge?

[He sits down to watch TV and grabs his remote to turn it on. As if out of nowhere, the remote sprouts colorful flowers, taking Frogger by surprise. He shakes his head in confusion.]

Frogger: What’s going on?

???: It’s the effects of magic. It’s starting to cause trouble already.

Frogger: What…? Who’s that?

[Feeling groggy from these unexpected occurrences, he goes to the bathroom.]

Frogger: I must be daydreaming or something. Better splash my face with some cold water.

[He turns on the faucet and splashes the water on his face to feel more alert. In the blink of an eye, an image of a magician in a top hat and white robes materializes in the mirror.]

???: Over here.

[A confused Frogger shakes his head again, wondering who was talking to him when the magician turns out to be real. He reaches his hand out of the mirror to get Frogger’s attention.]

???: I’m right here.

[A startled Frogger lands on his backside while the magician emerges from the mirror. Thinking that he is going to be attacked, Frogger closes his eyes to brace himself, only to find that the magician used his chest to cushion his fall. Frogger is as surprised to see him as he was when the doves flew out of the fridge.]

Frogger: Whoa! Who’re you?

Hocus: My name is Hocus. I’m the ruler of Magic World. I have come to ask a favor of you!

Frogger: A favor? What do you want me to do?

Hocus: A magic experiment has gone wrong, and the precious Eternity Wand has been shattered.

Hocus: The five Magic Shards of the Wand have been scattered to various islands.

Hocus: If the Eternity wand is not put back together, magic will go out of control and terrible things will happen.

Hocus: Help me, Frogger.

Frogger: M-Magic Shards, Eternity Wand, terrible things out of control…?

Hocus: Didn’t you notice? The doves in the fridge, the remote bursting into flowers…

Frogger: …You coming out of my mirror…

Hocus: [voice clip incoherently heard in-game] Oh, please.

Hocus: Exactly! Your world is starting to be affected.

Hocus: If we don’t do anything both worlds are going to be in BIG trouble. I need your help, Frogger!

Frogger: What about Firefly Swamp?

Hocus: Right now it’s just doves and flowers, but eventually, Firefly Swamp and the rest of the world will be…

Frogger: Alright. If my home is in danger, I’ll do anything! … But what can I do?

Hocus: I need you to go and get the five Magic Shards.

Hocus: Without the Wand I can’t really get around well, but I’ll still be able to see through your eyes and talk to you even if I’m far away.

[Determined to restore natural balance to the swamp, Frogger places a fist on his chest.]

Frogger: Okay, let’s do this. Magic World here I come!
