'''Tadpole Pond''' is a large pond found in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Switch remake]]. This is the home of the [[Frog Sage]], as well as the home of [[Mallow]]. He watches over the [[tadpole]]s that live in the pond. The western part is also the location of the two special [[list of shops in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars#Tadpole Pond|shops]] known as the Juice Bar and the "[[Frog Coin]]" emporium. Tadpole Pond also houses [[Melody Bay]], where [[Toadofsky]] is waiting for inspiration. Tadpole Pond features spring-like weather throughout the year, which attracts "sun worshippers" from all over the world.<ref name=p30>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Player's Guide|page=30}}</ref> Additionally, many "music buffs" enjoy the pond's popular steel-drum music that plays in the background, as well as the many compositions of Toadofsky.<ref name=p30/> | |||
As [[Mario]] and Mallow arrive at Tadpole Pond from the [[Midas River]], they are greeted by the Frog Sage. The Frog Sage tells Mallow that the former was not really his grandfather but that he found him as a baby and adopted him. He tells Mallow to look for his real parents. He sends Mario and Mallow to [[Rose Town]]. | |||
When Mario and his party return to Tadpole Pond after saving [[Princess Peach]], they find the Frog Sage depressed because of Mallow leaving. After Mario and his party cheer him up with his favorite food, [[Cricket Pie]], the Frog Sage says he has heard of a [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG)|Star Piece]] falling onto [[Star Hill]]. This is the last time Mario and his party have to visit Tadpole Pond. | |||
In the book ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'', Mario, [[Luigi]], and [[Toad]] go through Tadpole Pond on their journey. | |||
