'''Mouser''' is a large, anthropomorphic mouse who first appears in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. He wears sunglasses, gloves and boots. Mouser is a resident of [[Subcon]], the land of dreams. Not much is revealed about Mouser, though it is mentioned that he is prideful and utilizes his [[bomb]]s to destroy good dreams.<ref name=booklet>{{cite|quote=It is a bomber of bad dreams that destroys good dreams.

[[File:SMB2 Mouser Screenshot.png|thumb|left|A screenshot depicting the first boss fight against Mouser in World 1-3 in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'']]

In ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'', Mouser is fought three times, appearing in [[World 1-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-3]], [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-3]] and [[World 5-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-3]]; the latter level features an albino Mouser with red shoes and gloves. In battle, Mouser throws bombs at the player, which will explode after a short time. Players must defeat Mouser by grabbing bombs from him or elsewhere in the stage and throwing them at him so that they explode near or on the rodent; Mouser takes three hits to defeat in World 1-3, five in World 3-3, and six in World 5-3. In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' and ''Super Mario USA'', the albino Mouser is replaced with with [[Clawgrip]]; furthermore, Mouser has pink ears and shoes in World 1-3, while in World 3-3 he has green ears and shoes.

In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', [[Robirdo]] replaces the second Mouser battle in World 3-3, and the second fight is moved to [[World 6-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-3]], replacing [[Tryclyde]]{{'}}s second battle. He was given voice acting along with the main cast and the other various bosses, and speaks in a snide tone. Upon defeat, Mouser exclaims "No way!" before falling off-screen.

There are some unused sprites in ''Super Mario Advance'' of what appears to be a [[Porcupo]]-like mouse enemy, indicating that Mouser was intended to start out as a regular enemy type before undergoing a transformation, much like [[Fryguy]] and [[Clawgrip]].<ref name="Super Mario Advance- The Cutting Room Floor">{{cite|author=TCRF|url=tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Advance#Unused_Enemies|title=Super Mario Advance: Unused Enemies|publisher=tcrf.net|accessdate=October 25, 2013}}</ref>

Mouser is voiced by [[John Stocker]], the same actor who voices [[Toad]], and is given a Swiss accent. In "[[Butch Mario & The Luigi Kid]]" and "[[Rolling Down the River]]", his voice is higher pitched than in other episodes. He appears in 23 episodes, but has a speaking role in only 21. The only episodes where Mouser does not have a speaking role are "[[Pirates of Koopa]]" and "[[Karate Koopa]]".

Mouser then arrives at a bar for a drink. Toad sneaks from the hat and steals Mouser's bombs to bomb Mario and Luigi's jail cell. When Mouser notices that Mario and his friends are free, he orders his pack of [[Koopa Troopa]]s to stop them. Mario and Luigi run to the mine where Princess Toadstool is trapped, and Mouser allows [[King Koopa's alter egos#Kid Koopa|Kid Koopa]], an alias for King Koopa, to stop them. However, Koopa fails, and the princess is rescued.

In "[[A Mouser in the Houser]]", it is revealed that the mice once had a prosperous society, having dug the [[Warp Pipe|Transport Tube]] system and hidden all the treasures they found in it. Eventually, the society of the mice began to crumble when their king, Mouser, abandoned them and joined [[Bowser]]. Additionally, several mice abduct Princess Toadstool after she becomes lost in the Transport Tube system. After kidnapping the princess, the mice reveal their origin to her and offer her the position of their queen, saying that if she agreed to this proposal, she could have a map of the Transport Tube system, as well as dozens of ready troops to help her defeat Bowser. Princess Toadstool eventually rejects the offer of becoming queen of the mice when they refuse to help her aid [[Mario]], who was being attacked by Mouser.

In "[[The Buddy System]]", a large group of mice appear to capture Mario and Bowser when the two become lost in the Transport Tube system. Shackling Mario and Bowser together, these mice interrogate them and learn that Bowser had planned on flooding the Transport Tube system by blowing up the main water valve of it. Deciding to aid Bowser in his plot of destroying the Transport Tube system, this group of mice use bombs to blow up the main water valve, which causes a large amount of water to flow through the Transport Tube system and wash them away.

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], there are a few items of Mouser. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' there is a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] of Mouser that, when used on any fighter in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], boosts their arm attack power by 20 points. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', there is a Novice-class Grab-type primary [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] of Mouser that, when used, boosts the fighter's power without granting any special effect. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the spirit is found on the [[smashwiki:Light Realm|Light Realm]] map, and the spirit battle takes place on the [[smashwiki:Battlefield form|Battlefield form]] of the [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] stage, with [[Pikachu]] as an opponent and [[Bob-omb]]s as the only items that spawn. The core extracted from a Mouser spirit can be combined with a [[Count Cannoli]] core and two other Neutral cores to summon the [[wikirby:Daroach|Daroach]] spirit.

The instruction booklet for ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' states that he is very proud and does not think of himself as an ordinary mouse. In the cartoons, 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. 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 Koopa's embarrassing memories of his past, though he is still afraid when King Koopa threatens or gets angry at him.
