Their English name refers to another mouse-like enemy, [[Mouser]], who was introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

===''Yoshi'' series===

The first appearance of Little Mousers was in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', were they appeared infrequently as enemy creatures who would try to steal a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]'s [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] and scurry away with it, into their burrows. [[Little Skull Mouser]]s also appear - they are just like normal Mousers, except they wear skulls on their heads and cannot steal eggs.

Little Mousers, along with Little Skull Mousers, both under their original name, also appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They act the same as their first appearance.

Little Mousers later appeared in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' as obstacles in the [[Cheese Land]] course. However, they are left absent in the course's reappearance in the [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] DLC pack for unknown reasons.

===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Little Mousers were renamed '''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]].

In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', a Little Mouser named [[Mouser (Mario Party Advance)|Mouser]] appears as the boss and owner of the [[Duel Tower]]. He challenges the player to the game [[Chicken!]]. If the player wins, he receives the minigame. The ending said that he was bummed that Whomp left the Duel Tower.

In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Little Mouser (called '''Mowz''') is a recurring character. It first appears in [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]]. If a [[? 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]]. It stole [[Holly Koopa]]'s candy, and when landing on a [[? Space]] (it's one of the ones above the train) a [[Shy Guy]] will come and tell the character about the incident. Then he'll tell the character who the suspect is ([[Bandit]] can also be the one who stole the candy). If the player correctly remembers which car Mowz was on, they will be rewarded with 20 coins (10 in Duel Mode).

It can also be seen in the [[Star Carnival]] in the menu screen. Other characters walking in the Star Carnival are famous enemies such as [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s, and [[Chain Chomp]]s.
