Out of boredom I made a Hard Mode challenge for myself.
King Toad Boss (Hard Mode):
- Reach and engage King Toad in less than 4 minutes.
- Kill all the frog minions above King Toad.
- Do not use dodge the entire level.
- Avoid all damage once King Toad is engaged. (This includes poison water damage, the AoE tongue, and stomps.)
- Defeat King Toad with his amulet no less than 75% of its total health.
- Defeat King Toad before and after engaging him in less than 9 minutes.
- You cannot die, use a continue coin, or join another version of King Toad in a later encounter.
- Check Points must be active.
- Groups are allowed, just remember if they break the criteria of the achievement, they cannot get the achievement, it doesn’t affect you.
Achievement: No Opera’s tonight!
- Manage to thwart the Frog King and his minions on their daily night singing routine.
Title Reward: Frogger Stomper
Lets see how many people can pull this off to prepare for “Hard Mode” in the future!
That’s a bit too hard since there is no “dodge” for this achievement. Also its meant to be hard mode, not extreme mode. I don’t mind if they use any of the stones during the “King Toad” boss fight.
Doing some Test Runs to make sure its balanced out but I may add another minute to the criteria to give some lee way.

Hard because there is no dodge? Just jump on the smaller leafs when he makes his attacks :P
Yes you can use the “Fracture Gems” you obtain from King Toad to be used on them. However you have to figure out the spots to reach them and… you cannot go below 75% of the amulet’s total life. So you have to plan wisely.
Tab targeting is not advise you have to manually Left-click and hold to manually browse around to be able to target the back row for those minions.
True but you forgot the AoE Tongue, remember you cannot go below 75% of the amulet’s Life bar, so if you waste a “Fracture Gem” to avoid the Tongue you will fail that criteria of the achievement.
Once I do a couple more runs to adjust the balance, it will be up to the players to figure out the rest of the tricks.
All the ones above him? Yes, I had to find the way up first though, it took some way before I knew what way I could take.
That was hard though.
That is, you can throw the gem at the smaller frogs, but you can also wall climb up above them and kill them off with the stick.
Edit: I think I did a mistake here though, the first time was without the frogs. Killing the smaller frogs with the gem takes a lot of time, so there is no way I could have done that in 3:32,2 minutes.
The gem only pop out when he looks to the right, or left, before he does his stomp. The sad part is that he sometimes starts with doing his tongue thing, and there is no way to avoid it without dodging, or throwing a gem :P
Happend to me 5 times in a row now that he starts with the tongue thing, and I have to restard xP
I went and checked and was not able to find it. There was one area I think might be possible but the jump seems to far to make.
Either way, pretty sure it by passes the check point, if you were going for the timer and if the SAB team was going to make a similar achievement like this, they would proably make it require the check points.
Not only that is defeats the whole purpose of using the gems, so yeah going to not count that, making adjustments to the rules.
Would you mind posting a video or screen shots on how you were able to jump to the frogs?
I know about the check point one but I was unable to find any ledges to get any closer.
It’s actually all the way up in the tree trunk where you jump on the mushrooms, if you know what place I mean.
Can you world-out this way?
Josh Foreman can you confirm the spot in question is fixed now? I have an idea what the spot is and how its done but I need to know if the wall has been adjusted so I can stop trying.
Edit: Okay I found the trick. The spot still works. I will be providing screen shots soon in the bug thread I have, one moment.
Final Edit: Okay Josh Foreman, I am PMing you findings.
I never played A Link to the Past too much…so I have no idea what scene of the game that’s from…but you still his a nostalgia spot because of the last boss to Super Mario Brothers 2……..
That scene is from Zelda DX for Gameboy Color, during when you have to find the frog king to get a the frog song to revive the bird for free transportation.

My personal hardmode:
Press Autowalk once per level, only control your camera with your mouse, you may press your space bar
you may not use the shortcut worm
-play it at level 1
which means not accepting the first quest reward
which means having a giant shield in your face the entire time
-play with the UI off
-play with a low camera
It’s actually all the way up in the tree trunk where you jump on the mushrooms, if you know what place I mean.
Which tree? The horizontal one that spans the top of most of the area before the final checkpoint, or the vertical one with the bouncy mushrooms inside that leads to Moto’s Breath? And where is the jump you need to make to get to the off-bounds area? I can’t find the place you are talking about! I’d love to know this, thanks!
