"Hey...How about some bombs?"

- Mouser

Super Mario Bros 2
Mouser is a sunglasses sporting boss from the game Super Mario Bros 2. He is the first boss in the game, fought at the end of World 1 (SMB2). He attacks by throwing Bombs at Mario and friends, which the heroes must use against him. After dodging the Bombs, they should pick them up and throw them back at Mouser before they explode. It will take three hits before mouser is defeated. Later on, the heroes must face Mouser again at the end of World 3 (SMB2). He must be fought in the same way as the first time, but this time he takes more hits to defeat. This second battle was replaced by Robirdo in Super Mario Advance. Finally, Mouser is fought at the end of World 6 (SMB2). This time, he is much harder,and is a different, tanner color.



Mario Party Advance
He also appears as a boss in Mario Party Advance, but this Mouser more closely resembled a Squeek. It is possible that this is a different color.

Shows and Comics
Although Mouser was not featured in another Mario game for many years, he has played a big part in the game's marketing. He was a semi-regular on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, which cast him as Bowser's right-hand minion. John Stocker provided the voice for Mouser, who spoke with a German accent in the series.

Mouser also occasionally appeared in the Super Mario Bros. comic books, which provided a backstory for him. According to the story "A Mouser in the Houser", Mouser was the king of a peaceful race of mice (all of whom looked just like him) living in the tunnels of the Mushroom Kingdom. But he was corrupted by Bowser, and as a result, his now-leaderless subjects now steal vegetables for food. Interestingly, Mouser himself was not as much of a major character in the comics as he was in the cartoon.



Sub-Species
A sub-Species to Mouser called Little Mouser appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Other sub-Species include Nomadimice, and Squeeks.
