In The Rescue, his look changed to a more strong appearance. As defender of Firefly Swamp, his many adventures carried on through 2001 to 2005, before a reboot with a new video game, My Frogger Toy Trials, brought it back to it's origins again in 2007. Another original Frogger sequel was made a year after the MFTT. Frogger 3D, made in Japan the earliest and America a few months after, was made in 2011, thus,so far,concluding the Frogger trilogy.

Trivia
- In Airforce Delta Storm, a game also by Konami, an aircraft the Flogger J was named as "Frogger J". Although some may says that it is a typo mistake, it is very possible that was intended by the developers to reference the character and series of the same name.
