Their name is a combination of "mad" and "tadpole". These turquoise tadpoles swim calmly on the water surface, though when they spot [[Mario]] or another player character, Madpoles will swim after them and continue doing so even if the character dives into the water. Madpoles can be defeated from any attack.

'''Madpoles''' are a species of bluish [[Tadpole]]s debuting in the [[Wii U]] game, ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Their name is a combination of "mad" and "tadpole".


In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', {{iw|minecraftwiki|Tadpole}}s are replaced by Madpoles.
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. Madpoles appear in [[Rammerhead Reef]], [[The Bowser Express]], [[Deepwater Dungeon]], [[Sprawling Savanna Rabbit Run]], and [[Pipeline Boom Lagoon]].


==Profiles==
The [[Cat Mario|Cat]] and [[Fire Mario|Fire forms]] can be useful against swarms of Madpoles.
