Superfrog is a 2D Platform game developed for the Amiga and then converted for the PC, developed by Team 17 Software in 1993. The Amiga version was popular enough to spawn an Amiga CD32 version.

The game features an overt commercial tie-in with the energy drink Lucozade as a health-boosting powerup, similar to the Chupa Chups sponsorship of Zool, and 7-Up's sponsorship of Cool Spot.

Team 17's earlier games became relatively obscure after the release of the hugely popular Worms series, though many gamers remember Superfrog fondly for its solid gameplay, smooth scrolling, cartoon-quality graphics, and upbeat music. Although a relatively small release by the standards of blockbuster platformers like Sonic, it was very well received and has retained a fanbase which considers it a technically perfect example of the genre.

Team17 themselves appear not to have forgotten about Superfrog, as the titular character - the frog himself - makes cameo appearances in their most recent games, notably Worms Blast and Worms 3D. Martyn "Spadge" Brown, Creative Director at Team 17, has also expressed an interest in reviving the character in a new title in the series.
