'''Mad'''<ref>''Wario's Woods'' NES instruction booklet, page 15.</ref> is a boss that appears in the [[Wario's Woods (Nintendo Entertainment System)|NES version of ''Wario's Woods'']]. She is a green-haired, red-tailed mermaid with a crown and pearl necklace.

==History==
===''Wario's Woods''===
Mad is the third boss that [[Toad]] faces, appearing in round 29. Like all bosses, Mad can create more enemies and teleport around the stage, and instantly KOs Toad if she reappears on top of him; she can also temporarily freeze Toad's [[sprite]] helper.  

===''Super Mario'' (KC Deluxe)===
Mad appears in two chapters of the [[Super Mario: Wario no Mori|''Wario's Woods'' adaptation]]. She is summoned with [[Boom]] and [[Seizer]] by [[Fauster]], after regaining some of his powers with [[Wario]] sacrificing [[Baby Luigi]] to him. Wario initially tries to hit on her, getting immediately slapped by her fishtail. Later, she is sent to stop Mario and his friends following [[Goro]]'s defeat. After the heroes split up, Mario encounters Mad, disguised as a beautiful human woman. Using her mermaid magic, she manages to hypnotize Mario into carrying her outside the forest, leading him away from the path. [[Wanda]], who attempted to stop Mario, goes to create a potion with the intent of waking him up, but (as always) her potion explodes. Hearing the explosion, however, frees Mario from the hypnotic mermaid voice, so Mad regains her true form and coils Mario with her tail and tries to bite his head off. However, the [[Toad villager]], followed by some of his [[Toad (species)|friends]], tosses him the [[Yūsha Kinopio Kamen]], which he quickly wears, causing Mad's fangs to shatter as she bites the iron mask. In pain, Mad releases Mario and the Toads toss rocks at her until she is overwhelmed by them, presumably perishing like her allies have in their own ambushes.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
Mad appears in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' only in chapter 11 of [[Super Mario-kun Volume 12|volume 12]], where she is stated to be the water fairy of [[Wario's Woods (location)|Peaceful Woods]] corrupted by Wario polluting the river. However, Mad is seen once in her mermaid form (which Wanda confirms it is not her real form) as she assumes her witch form for most of the chapter, the water itself, forming an evil grin with some waves resembling her bangs and crown, capable to also change between liquid, solid, and gaseous state at will. None of Mario, Luigi, Toad, Birdo, and Yoshi's attacks do anything to her, until Yoshi drinks her up and urinates her out. Now free from Wario's evil toxin, Mad is reverted to her true form: an anthropomorphic fish in a dress.
