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. | 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.

In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', Little Mouser, localized simply as '''Mouser''' appears as the boss and owner of the [[Duel Tower]].

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. | In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', Little Mouser, localized simply as '''Mouser''' appears as the boss and owner of the [[Duel Tower]].
