Save Frog

Save Frogs are characters in Mother 3. They allow the player to save their gameplay progress, and from the fourth chapter of the game onward, these frogs also allow Lucas and friends to withdraw or deposit Dragon Power (DP), the currency in the game. The function of Save Frogs in Mother 3 replaces the telephones used to save progress and the Automatic Teller Machines used to manage money in previous installments of the Mother series. There are many different versions of the Save Frog, including a ghost frog, a driving frog, and a magic butterfrog, which does not seem particularly happy about its name. Save Frogs are somewhat humorous by design, and as a result appear in appropriate situations; for example, in an encounter on Tanetane Island, when Lucas and the party eat the Hallucination Mushrooms on Tanetane Island, the Save Frog that was eaten by a snake is now inside an umbrella.
