'''Tadpole Pond''' is a large pond found in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. This is the home of [[Frogfucius]], 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>Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller. ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide.

As [[Mario]] and Mallow arrive at Tadpole Pond from the [[Midas River]], they are greeted by Frogfucius. Frogfucius tells Mallow that he 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|Princess Toadstool]], they find Frogfucius depressed because of Mallow leaving. After cheering him up with his favorite food, [[Cricket Pie]], Frogfucius says he has heard of a [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Piece]] falling onto [[Star Hill]]. This is the last time Mario and his friends have to visit Tadpole Pond. | |||
In the {{wp|Scholastic Corporation|Scholastic}} book title, ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'', Mario and [[Luigi]] go through Tadpole Pond in their journey. | |||
