Trophy description
- Prince of Sablé
- A naive but kind prince in the Game Boy title Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru. He sets off on a journey to the Mille-Feuille Kingdom to rescue the kidnapped Princess Tiramisu. If you summon him in this game, he'll turn into either a frog or a snake. When a foe gets close, he'll kick up a cloud of white smoke and go on the offensive.
Origin
The dust clouds are a reference to the combat system in Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru, which is a turn-based combat system that pits the player and their enemy in a battle within a dust cloud, exchanging hits until one is defeated. The ability to turn into a frog is gained through a potion given to the player by the witch Mandola, which allows the player to transform into a frog by touching cold water. Transforming back into a human requires the use of another potion bought from Mandola later in the game, which lets the player transform into a human by almost dying (which can be achieved by eating Joy Fruit) or into a snake by eating snake eggs.
Trivia
- When first revealing the character as an assist trophy on Miiverse, Masahiro Sakurai noted that he did not know what the Sablé Prince's name is. This references how the Sablé Prince does not have an official name, and is instead named by the player at the start of the game.
