'''Melody Bay''' is a part of [[Tadpole Pond]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. It is home to the composer [[Toadofsky]]. [[Mario]] can play music here by jumping across on [[tadpole]]s. The bay has lines like a musical score, and the position of a tadpole when Mario jumps on it determines what note is played. From top to bottom, the notes are Mi, Re, Do, Ti, La, So, and Fa. The notes are designed in the {{wp|clef#Treble clef|treble clef}}, and each note, starting with Do, is one on the {{wp|C major}} scale. Songs played in Melody Bay are always eight notes long.

Mario, [[Luigi]], and [[Toad]] briefly visit Melody Bay in ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'' to retrieve one of the six [[Mushroom]]s from Toadofsky (called "Toadofski" in the book).
==Four songs for Toadofsky==
===Frog Sage's suite no. 18===
{{quote|Sounds. Laughter. Mirth. Revelry. Donuts. Reading. Dolphins. Relax.<br>-A few notes on my latest tune.|Sign behind the [[Frog Sage]]|[[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Super Mario RPG]]}}
This is the first song that played for Toadofsky at Melody Bay. Mario must read the poster at the [[Frog Sage]]'s study before attempting to figure out the composition. The correct notes are So, La, Mi, Re, Do, Re, Do, and Re. After Mario plays the correct notes back to Toadofsky, he rewards Mario with the [[Alto Card]].

===Moleville Blues===

After the player saves [[Dyna and Mite]] when adventuring to [[Moleville]], going back into the area that [[Croco]] destroyed reveals several workers. They want to sing a song, and hidden in the lyrics are the notes to the Moleville Blues, which are Mi, Do, So, Do, Re, La, Ti, and Do. When this is played for Toadofsky, Mario earns the [[Tenor Card]].

==={{conjectural|Monstro Town Star Song}}===
Upon Mario's first arrival to [[Monstro Town]], when he goes in the house where the [[Monstermama]] lives, upstairs is a [[Starslap]]. If Mario tries talking to it, it will dance a little and play a short song that sounds like the tadpoles at Melody Bay. This is the third and final song. However, the one thing that is different this time is the notes do not appear onscreen, but there is a piece of paper to the left of the Starslap that shows where the tadpoles should be. The correct notes are La, Ti, Do, Re, So, Do, Re, and Mi. Playing this song correctly for Toadofsky rewards Mario with the [[Soprano Card]].

==={{conjectural|Mario and Toadofsky's Original Composition}}===
When Mario completes all three songs for Toadofsky, he asks Mario to compose an ending for the song. At this point, Mario can use any of the eight notes available to compose an ending for Toadofsky's song. The final song will be a collaboration of all three songs put together with Mario's composed finish piece. Mario can change this ending anytime he wants to.
