Mouser (The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!)

"Hold it right there you guys!"

- Mouser

Mouser is a Mouser who only appears in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! and Nintendo Comics System. Unlike the species called Mouser, the character, Mouser, worked for King Koopa and is second-in-command. Like his boss King Koopa, Mouser had many aliases that went with the theme of the episode. In the show, he was voiced by John Stocker.

Butch Mario & the Luigi Kid
Mouser (known in the episode as Sheriff Mouser), first appears when Mario, Luigi, and Toad walked up a hill. Mouser has his pack ready to arrest the Mario Bros. Mario and his friends run away from Mouser and his team, and they pursue after Mario and his friends. Mario and his friends soon find themselves in a cliff, with a crashing waterfall below and logs falling down the waterfall. Shortly after Mouser finds them trapped, Mario and his friends successfully jumps across the waterfall using the logs, leaving Mouser. Mouser attempts to jump by claiming, "If they can do it, so can I!", hesitating, and then nervously saying that his pack can go first. After his pack falls into the waterfall after a failed attempt, Mouser starts crying.

When Mouser reports to King Koopa that the "pesky plumbers" have gotten away, King Koopa gets angry, starts insulting Mouser, and threatens to lock Mouser up instead if Mouser doesn't catch Mario and his friends. Mouser then nervously said that he'll get every bounty hunter available to catch Mario and his friends.

After Mario and his friends go to the mine where Princess Toadstool is trapped, Mouser surrounds them with his pack and tells them to "reach for the sky." A Tweeter gets into an argument with Mouser, and Mario and his friends quickly run away. Mouser then throws a bomb at the mine, and as a result, a boulder chases Mario and his friends. When Mario and his friends get exhausted, they fall for a trap and get locked up.

Mario and Luigi hatch a plan, and they decide to trick Mouser by begging for water. Mouser brings water, only to have it for himself and Mouser drinks it all up. Mario and Luigi then play a game of Patty Cake and Mouser exclaims by saying, "Hey! What are you loonies up to?" Mario knocks Mouser's hat off and Mouser gets angry at Mario when is hat is knocked off. Toad sneaks inside the hat, Mouser grabs the hat, wears it, and warns the Mario Bros. not to do that again.

Mouser then arrives at a bar for a drink. Toad sneaks and steals Mouser's bombs, and then bombs the bar and the jail Mario and Luigi are locked up in. Mouser notices that Mario and his friends are free and orders his pack of Koopa Troopas to stop them. Mario and Luigi run away to the mine where Toadstool is trapped and Mouser lets King Koopa do the rest of the work, even though King Koopa failed to captured the Mario Bros. and the fact that Princess Toadstool was freed.

Rolling Down the River
Mouser first appears in this episode (as First Mate Mouser), coming out of King Koopa's ship and reporting to King Koopa that there are no stowaways. King Koopa gets angry at Mouser, calling him a fool, and then grabs and shoves Mouser aside. He then steps over Mouser while Mouser glares at him.

Mouser is next seen looking through a telescope to see any trace of the Mario Bros. coming back (the Mario Bros. jumped out of the ship after they were chased by King Koopa's minions). Mouser then shouts to King Koopa about seeing something in the telescope. At first, King Koopa objects by telling Mouser not to interrupt, but when Mouser continues to alert King Koopa, King Koopa grabs it, he is horrified to see Mark Twang's Ding Bell, his competition of the boat race, coming at full speed at his ship, the Sinister Star. He then sees the Mario Bros. who made the ship faster, and he gets angry, throws the telescope on the ground, and steps on it.

King Koopa instructs Mouser to bring him the Black Pit Bob-omb. Mouser then gets surprised by this order, but since King Koopa is the number one authority, Mouser brings King Koopa the bob-omb. King Koopa then throws the bob-omb at the water behind his boat, and it creates a giant hole to stop the Ding Bell from crossing that area of the river.

Mouser is next seen when King Koopa again sees the Ding Bell after it crossed the pit. He throws his telescope at Mouser, who appears bored, and then steps on the telescope again. Mario and Luigi then go on the ship, and with the help of Mark Twang and the Mouth of the River, Mario and his friends crash King Koopa's ship onto sand, which makes King Koopa and his crew lose the race.

Character Description
Mouser, like the rest of his species, is an anthropomorphic mouse that wears sunglasses that covers his eyes in most cases. When his eyes aren't covered, it is shown to be a white eye with a black pupil. He has gray fur, pink ears, a fur-less snout with a full set of teeth, and a fur-less tail. In Mouser's normal appearance, he lacks clothing, except for red gloves, red shoes and his sunglasses. Mouser does take on aliases, like King Koopa, where he wears an outfit to match the theme of the episode and he gets mentioned by a title, such as First Mate Mouser.

Mouser is voiced by John Stocker, the same person who voiced Toad. In the show, Mouser has a French accent, which is indicated by saying "zat" instead of "that" and other phrases where it is clearly defined.

Personality
Mouser, like his boss, King Koopa, is an antagonist of Mario and his friends and he will do anything he can to capture them. Mouser also likes to use bombs as his primary form of attack, just like the Mousers in the game, Super Mario Bros. 2. Even though he is second-in-command, his pack members still obey him, as seen in "Butch Mario & the Luigi Kid." Mouser, however, does laugh at King Koopa when something embarrassing happens to him, as demonstrated in the episode, "The Adventures of Sherlock Mario" when Herlock Solmes recalls King Koopas embarrassing memories of his past, though he is still afraid when King Koopa threatens or gets angry at him.
