Ribbit King (ケロケロキング Kero Kero Kingu) is a video game released for PlayStation 2 and GameCube. The game is based on the fictional sport of Frolf, which is a golf-like game that is played with frogs. The frogs sit on catapults, which the player whacks with a mallet to send the frog flying into the air.

[edit] Gameplay
The objective is to earn the most points possible by landing the frog in the course's hole in the quickest time possible. Players can also earn points by sending their frogs through various spheres scattered through the level. In addition, they can score points by having their frogs eaten by giant worms, or by having their frogs swim, or by any number of other things.
Ribbit King comes packaged with a bonus disc called Ribbit King Plus, which is an assortment of short CGI films about Scooter and his friends. These films are unlocked during the main game.
The main character of Ribbit King is a construction worker named Scooter. Scooter is trying to become the Frolf Champion, and in doing so win the "Super Ribbinite," a fuel source his planet needs in order to survive. The game also includes such characters as a pile of rocks, a gumball machine, and a kung fu panda named Pan-Pan.[1]
