## Introduction (Gamecube)

Scooter is first seen running into the King's room and kneeling. After being greeted, he asks if the King needs him for something. The King begins to discuss the problem but bursts into tears before he can finish. His chamberlains explain the problem, Planet Hippitron is running low on Super Ribbinite, the power source of the planet. Scooter expresses his concern and one chamberlain shares video footage of the current state of their Super Ribbonite. Another chamberlain is seen standing next to the unstable Super Ribbonite, explaining that it is decreasing in power rapidly. It is unsure why the King is desperate for Scooter's help, but he insists that he drop everything he is doing and goes to search for a new supply of Super Ribbonite. He is then seen traveling in his ship with Picwick, his soon-to-be Frolf Coach. Picwick reassures Scooter that he will be able to get the Super Ribbonite, but Scooter still expresses concern he will not be able to as it will be very difficult. It is then revealed the challenge Scooter must face, learning to play Frolf and eventually becoming the Ribbit King. The group then travels to Ribbitopia to learn how to play Frolf, with Picwick performing as the tutorial. Picwick is technically the first opponent. Once the game is over, Picwick and Scooter are greeted by Sluggy, a character who acts as a referee for each game of Frolf. Neither of them trusts Sluggy, but he is in charge of the tournament. He invites them onto the FUV, where Scooter will travel to different planets to fight the challengers in the competition. The reward being Super Ribbonite, as well as a trophy for becoming the Ribbit King. Periodically, usually after a match, the King will check back in with Scooter to see how he is doing.

The first available opponent is Pan-Pan. Afterwards, Scooter must defeat Lunk, Princess Tippi, Sir Waddlelot, Pappy, Kosmo, Sparky & Whoosh, and their counterparts. The most notable battles being Sparky & Whoosh, who play an important part in the second chapter, and Pappy, who gives Scooter an important item. Once all of the opponents are defeated, Scooter faces the Ribbit King, Gumbah-Goo, as his final challenge. Following Gumbah-Goo's defeat, Scooter is rewarded with the title of Ribbit King, the Frolf Cup, and after some celebration, the Super Ribbonite. However, the Super Ribbonite is much too small to be able to power the entire planet of Hippitron. They leave disappointed, but as they begin to return to the King, they realize how they can fix their problem. The Super Ribbonite needed to be at least 10x bigger, and Pappy had gifted Scooter a 10 Big bang after the second battle. Using this on the Super Ribbonite would increase its size by 10x. Cheering at their life saving discovery, Picwick uses the 10 Big Bang while they are still in Scooter's ship. As the Super Ribbonite expands, Scooter and Picwick are squashed against the ship, and shakily steer their way back home.

Through the second play through of Ribbit King, the King needs another favor from Scooter. The scene is set up exactly the same as the first play through of the game except Picwick runs to the King beside Scooter. The King's chamberlain explains that a team of rogue outlaws, Oinkatrons, are invading the planet. Immediately after, the Oinkatrons video call in with Captain Oinka. He proceeds to threaten the people and shoot a laser at Planet Hippitron, causing an earthquake. Scooter must get the complete set of hints and clues for Mega Zapper Men 2 for the Playbox Advance, or else Captain Oinka will destroy the entire planet of Hippitron. However, Scooter cannot believe that Captain Oinka would be doing such drastic things in order to beat a video game. The King believes that Scooter is the finest gamer on Hippitron, but Scooter thinks that Mega Zapper is too hard of a game. He had tried beating it before and was never successful. Reassuring the now heartbroken King, Scooter lets him know that he knows some people who have a full set of hints and clues. Scooter tells the King he won't let him down, and calls for Picwick, who was distracted from gaming.

Once Sparky & Whoosh 2 is defeated, Scooter asks for the hints and clues for Mega Zapper Men 2. However, Whoosh tells Scooter that they had gotten bored of it and threw it away. As Scooter loses all hope, Picwick exclaims that he had cleared all levels, and defeated the entirety of Mega Zapper Men. Scooter and Picwick head back home, leaving Whoosh confused. Sparky then speaks up for the first time, saying that "basket guy" is a better gamer than he is. Whoosh, dumbfounded, quickly reassures him. The King thanks Scooter for all his work, saying that he is officially a hero, ending the game.

## Introduction (Playstation 2)

In the Playstation 2 version of Ribbit King there is an additional scene showing Scooter staring at the Frolf Tournament poster while in the FUV. As it zooms into the poster, it lowers to show the King holding it. Scooter analyzes the poster and notices that Super Ribbonite is the reward, which is why the King wants him to participate in it. Scooter is hesitant as he has never played Frolf before nor does he know what Frolf is. The blue Chamberlain speaks up and explains that all you do is use a hammer to fling a frog in the air, very simple instructions. The red Chamberlain nods, telling Scooter that since he is the only carpenter on Hippitron, the blue Chamberlain then continuing his thought, that no one would know how to swing a hammer better than a carpenter. Unfortunately, Scooter is still unsure how successful he will be since he has never flung a frog before. The blue Chamberlain reassures him that they have purchased the "finest" how-to-play Frolf Kit in the universe, pointing to an area in the room. Picwick slowly ascends from below the floor, a large spotlight shining on him, and greets Scooter. Noticing something off, the red Chamberlain interrogates the now nervous King asking that didn't he tell him to buy the highest grade Frolf Kit? The King apologizes and whispers that it was too pricey, holding up a sheet displaying different types of Frolf Kits. Picwick is at the bottom of the sheet, listed as "on sale", so the King felt inclined to purchase him instead. The red Chamberlain snaps, grabbing the King by his collar and shakes him around calling him a cheapskate. The King profusely apologizes. As they argue, the blue Chamberlain walks up to Scooter and firmly tells him to listen to what Picwick says. Taking Scooters hands, he insists that he must take home the Super Ribbinite at any cost, and don't to not fail. During this conversation, Picwick replies to each of his demands thinking that he is talking to him. Scooter glares saying that he was not talking to him and Picwick nervously apologizes.
