'''Little Mousers''', also known as '''Squeeks''' are a species of small, mice-like creatures who wear bandannas that obscure their faces; though never officially stated, it is likely that Little Mousers are relatives of the [[Mouser]]s of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

[[File:SMW2 Little Mouser.jpg|thumb|Little Mouser artwork from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', depicting its original design]]
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.

In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', Little Mouser, localized simply as '''Mouser''' appears as the boss and owner of the [[Duel Tower]]. Mouser is a skilled duelist himself, as he "even battled it out with Bowser!" according to his in-game description. 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.

As the player duels with both [[Whomp]] and [[Salvo the Slime|Salvo]], Mouser appears between stages to cheer the player on. On the third, Mouser himself is fought at the game [[Chicken!]] Once he is beaten, he says that only the player can stop [[Bowser]] from conquering the world and lets the player keep the tower minigames. The ending said that he was bummed that Whomp left the Duel Tower.
