Little Mousers, also known as Squeeks or Squeaks, are a species of small, mice-like creatures who wear bandannas that obscure their faces. Judging from their English name, one would think that Little Mousers are relatives of Mouser of Super Mario Bros. 2. However, their Japanese name, チューさん chuu-san, defies that notion, which is why they have been renamed in later games.
