Their primary English name refers to another mouse-like foe, [[Mouser]], who was introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.
-'''Little Mousers''' are small blue mice that wear bandanas just like [[Mouser]]. They won't throw bombs, but they will grab one of [[Yoshi]]'s eggs if they get close enough. In some levels of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', several small holes can be seen on the walls. If a Little Mouser lives in one it will pop out and try to steal an egg.

+[[File:SMW2 Little Mouser.jpg|thumb|Little Mouser artwork from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', depicting its original design]]
+Little Mousers first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where they attempt to steal [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s [[Yoshi Egg|eggs]] and scurry away with them into their burrows. Ordinarily, they appear blue with yellow ears and red-orange feet. However, in a secret area of [[KEEP MOVING!!!!]] they appear black with teal ears and dark teal feet. Like many blue enemies in the game, their artwork instead depicts them as purple with red feet. [[Little Skull Mouser]]s also appear, and are just like normal Little Mousers, except they wear skulls on their heads, move solely by jumping, and will not steal eggs until the skull is removed from the Little Mouser.
+{{br|left}}
-Other versions are Little Skull Mouser's who wear skull of an unknown species on their heads. They hop blindly around and will lose their skull if Yoshi steps on them.
+====''Yoshi's New Island''====
+Little Mousers, along with Little Skull Mousers, both under their original name, also appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They act the same as in their first appearance. They appear in [[Inside the Outside]] and [[Harry Hedgehog's Labyrinth]].
+{{br|left}}
-If Yoshi's eggs are out of reach Little Mouser's will hop and squeak while trying to grab them.
+===''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''===
+Little Mousers later appear under the name of '''Mouser'''<ref>''Nintendo Power Advance'' v.2, page 14.</ref> or '''Mice'''<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Bryan; Stratton, Steve|date=2001|title=''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' Prima Official Game Guide|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=29}}</ref> in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' as obstacles in the [[Cheese Land]] course. However, they are replaced by two [[Chain Chomp]]s in the course's reappearance in the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC pack and the base game of ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
-In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', a tribe of desert Little Mouser's live in [[Dry Dry Outpost]]. They are called [[Nomadimouse|Nomadimice]] and live with the [[Dryite]]s. In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]]'', a white Little Mouser named [[Ms. Mowz]] joins Mario's team.
+===''Paper Mario'' series===
+====''Paper Mario''====
+[[File:PM Nomadimouse.png|frame]]
+Little Mousers appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as friendly NPCs localized as '''Nomadimice'''; they are found in [[Dry Dry Outpost]], which they have inhabited since ancient times. One of them named [[Moustafa]] gives Mario the [[Pulse Stone]], which is necessary to open the secret path to [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]]. A purple one called [[Little Mouser (character)|Little Mouser]] runs [[Little Mouser's Shop]] and is one of Moustafa's close confidants. A [[Nomadimouse (character)|wandering Nomadimouse]] is found along the path in [[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]] and is part of the game's [[letter]] sidequest.
-== Notable Little Mousers ==
+====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
-[[Ms. Mowz]] from [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]
+[[File:MouserPMTTD.png|frame|right|A Squeek from [[Rogueport]]]]
+In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Little Mousers were relocalized as '''Squeeks''' and were shown to be one of the primary inhabitants of [[Rogueport]] and [[Rogueport Sewers]]; a white Squeek, known as [[Ms. Mowz]] also appears in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' as an optional [[partner]] of [[Mario]]. [[Lumpy]]'s diary also references the Squeeks found in Dry Dry Outpost, particularly Moustafa.
-{{Yoshi}}
+===''Mario Party'' series===
+====''Mario Party Advance''====
+{{quote2|We shall meet again.|Mouser|[[Mario Party Advance]]}}
+In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', Little Mouser, localized simply as '''Mouser''' appears as the boss and owner of the [[Duel Tower]]. Mouser is a skilled duelist himself, as he "even battled it out with Bowser!" according to his in-game description. When the player first enters the tower, they are greeted by Mouser, who then asks if they know about the "duelist greeting" or not. If the correct answer is given ("Chaaaaarge!"), then the Duel Tower quest starts.
-[[Category: Enemies]]
+As the player duels with both [[Whomp]] and [[Salvo the Slime|Salvo]], Mouser appears between stages to cheer the player on. On the third, Mouser himself is fought at the game [[Chicken!]] Once he is beaten, he says that only the player can stop [[Bowser]] from conquering the world and lets the player keep the tower minigames. The ending said that he was bummed that Whomp left the Duel Tower.
-[[Category: Species]]
+====''Mario Party 8''====
+In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Little Mouser, localized as '''Mowz''' (or Mouser),<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Mario Party 8'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|publisher=Prima Games|page=32}}</ref> is a recurring character. It first appears in [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]]. If a [[Event Space|? Space]] is landed on inside the mansion, Mowz will let the player spin a wheel with a pinball inside. Depending on which one of three holes on the wheel the ball lands in ([[Coin]]s, [[Power Star|Star]], or [[Candy (Mario Party 8)|Candy]]), it will steal an item from a random opponent for the player.
+Another appearance of Mowz is in [[Shy Guy's Perplex Express]]. If a player lands on one of the ? Spaces above the train, a [[Shy Guy]] comes and tells the character that [[Holly Koopa]]'s candy was stolen. A suspect during the event can be either Mowz or [[Bandit]]. If the player correctly remembers which car Mowz was on, they are rewarded with 20 coins if played in a 4-player Party Tent or 10 coins in Duel Mode and Star Battle Arena.
+It can also be seen in the [[Star Carnival]] in the menu screen. Other characters walking in the Star Carnival are [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s, and [[Chain Chomp]]s.
+===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
+[[File:WoollyLittleMouserHQ.png|thumb|upright=0.6|A Little Mouser from ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
+Little Mousers reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', this time with a yarn-like appearance, buttons for ears, an indigo color, and orange feet. They only appear several times and try to steal [[yarn ball]]s off Yoshi. If he eats the Little Mousers, they will turn into blue yarn balls.
+===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
+A Little Mouser appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a [[spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. It gives the fighter increased jump and movement speed.
+===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
+Little Mousers reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. Here, they hold onto magnets, and throw Coins to each other. One also steals the Blue Dream Gem, before the [[Tin-Can Condor]] boss fight. A Little Mouser also appears as a cut cardboard [[List of crafts in Yoshi's Crafted World|craft]] hanging on a hook in [[Mr. Geary's Factory]].
