Today, let's cover Tiny Mouser, a frequently appearing enemy in the Yoshi series, known, like several other Yoshi enemies, for trying to steal items or babies from you. Though they didn't quite make it in the original run of Yoshi games, they did manage to pull it off here, primarily because of one certain flirtatious Tiny Mouser companion you can pick up in Thousand-Year Door: Ms. Mowz (though a few supporting characters like Moustafa should also be credited).

Ms. Mowz comes with a few different moves, include a nice firm slap, kissing you in order to steal something from you, teasing an enemy to distract them, and just straight up laying a kiss on you. Both of these things can be piled up on top of other moves from the Tiny Mousers over the years, like stealing and carrying around magnets, and we should also make note of the Tiny Mouser's original namesake, the boss Mouser from Super Mario Bros. 2, who could drop bombs. All in all, I think we have enough.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Steal

The basic move. The move will be much like the bandit's, they will either steal an item right off a character, steal a cosmetic item like Mario's hat or something, or straight up steal a move. For this one, I'm leaning toward stealing items.

Side B: Kiss

The Tiny Mouser will plant a kiss on an opponent that will hold them fast for a couple of seconds and then leave them woozy. Mouser's echo will probably not include this.

Up B: Magnet

The Tiny Mouser will pull out one of the magnets used by them in Yoshi's Crafted World, which will pull them upwards for a time, latching onto a metal block that will appear. The magnet will linger for a short time to whatever it attached to, and can be grabbed by the Mouser.

Down B: Bomb

This one is based entirely on Mouser from Super Mario Bros. 2. Basically, he will plant a bomb, which will explode shortly.

Final Smash: Stock Thief

The Mouser will hop off the screen and then a horde of Tiny Mousers will appear at the bottom and take one stock from everyone.

Entrance: The Tiny Mouser will pop out from a burrow and sniff around.

Taunts: Some of Ms. Mowz's flirty poses for sure. Sniffing the air and a small glowy spark appearing over their head to tell them something's hidden nearby. Digging up a treasure chest.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we'll cover the echo fighter for this fighter, Mouser!
