Mouser is up to no good.  He hangs out at the end of a couple of worlds, just waiting for Mario and crew to arrive, and put an end to their adventures.  His weapon of choice is bombs.  He will light up a few and toss them down at the floor below his platform.  In order to defeat Mouser, you'll need to fight fire with fire, and toss some of the bombs back up to him.  He won't get hurt if you hit him with the bomb, but he will get hurt if he is caught in a bomb explosion.  Remember that if you're quick enough, you can catch the bombs that he throws right out of the air.  The first time you encounter Mouser, it will take three bomb explosions to make him quit.  The second time you encounter Mouser, it will take five.  In Doki Doki Panic you will actually encounter him a third time at the end of the fifth world instead of facing Clawgrip, who was added just for Super Mario Bros. 2, and it will take ''seven'' bomb explosions to defeat him.
