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]].


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