The Super NES Mouse, sold as the Super Famicom Mouse (スーパーファミコンマウス, Sūpā Famikon Mausu) in Japan, is a peripheral created by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was released in 1992, on July 14 in Japan, in August in North America, and on December 10 in Europe. Originally designed for use with the game Mario Paint, the Super NES Mouse was sold in a bundle with the game and included a plastic mouse pad. During the Super NES's life cycle, 80 games were released with Mouse support.

Quick Facts Also known as, Developer ...

Although this device closely resembles and mimics the functionality of a two-button computer mouse, it is smaller than most computer mice of the time and has a significantly shorter cord than the standard Super NES controller. Due to its proprietary connector it is not compatible with PCs' motherboards.

The Mario Paint and Mouse package sold more than 1 million units by March 1993.[1] In 2017, Hyperkin released the Hyper Click Mouse, an aftermarket Super NES mouse that utilizes optical motion detection in place of the rolling ball used in the original model.[2] Support for Super NES Mouse controls in compatible games was added to the Nintendo Classics emulated game service on July 29, 2025. These games can be controlled using an external USB mouse on Nintendo Switch, or the Joy-Con 2's mouse controls on Nintendo Switch 2.[3]
