| | Madpoles are uncommon enemies that calmly swim on the water surface. As they spot [[Mario]], they swim at his direction, and will keep doing so if Mario dives into the water by trying to ram him. They can be defeated by any attack. Madpoles appear in [[Rammerhead Reef]], [[The Bowser Express]], [[Deepwater Dungeon]], [[Sprawling Savanna Rabbit Run]] and [[Pipeline Boom Lagoon]]. A Madpole's only attack is by ramming Mario. |
| Madpoles are uncommon enemies that calmly swim on the water surface. If they spot [[Mario]], they swim to him, and will keep doing so if Mario dives into the water, trying to ram him. They can be defeated by any attack, with the [[Cat Mario|Cat]] and [[Fire Mario|Fire forms]] being useful against swarms of them. Madpoles appear in [[Rammerhead Reef]], [[The Bowser Express]], [[Deepwater Dungeon]], [[Sprawling Savanna Rabbit Run]], and [[Pipeline Boom Lagoon]]; in the latter level, they replace the [[Goomba]]s [[Innertube Goomba|in floaties]] and [[Cheep Cheep]]s of [[Pipeline Lagoon|the original level]]. | |

| The [[stamp]] found in Deepwater Dungeon depicts a Madpole.
| | If Mario was swarmed by a lot of Madpoles the best way to take these pests out was the [[Cat Suit]] and the [[Fire Flower]]. |
|
| |
|
| In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Tadpoles are replaced by Madpoles.
| | Since Madpoles reapper in Pipeline Boom Lagoon, these enemies are the replacement of the [[Goomba]]s in floaties and [[Cheep-Cheep]]s. |
