Catching Frogs - Qu's Marsh (Discs 1-4)

Story

Character Profiles

There are four Qu's Marshes around the world, each with a frog pond in the middle. Each time you enter here with Quina in your party, he/she asks you if he/she can catch frogs.

Frogs are safe from Quina when in the water, so you can only catch them if they hop ashore. Remain immobile and wait for a frog to leap from the water, then rush towards it pressing the X button. Once you have caught a specific number of frogs, Master Quale appears and rewards Quina with an item. In addition to catching a set number of frogs, you must defeat Master Quale to recieve the final reward.

The number of frogs you catch has a welcome side affect. The more frogs Quina catches, the stronger his/her Frog Drop Blue Magic becomes. Each pond has a limited frog population, and it will take a long time to recover if you catch all the frogs in the pond. Leave on female and one male frog in each pond to trigger faster population recovery. You will need to enter a town or cave to trigger population recovery, not simply go back on the World Map.

In one of the ponds there is a golden frog, which speeds up population recovery.
