The SNES Mouse

The Super NES Mouse is a peripheral released by Nintendo in 1992 for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).[1] Originally designed for use with the game Mario Paint, the SNES Mouse was sold in a bundle with the game for $59.95 in the United States and included a plastic mouse pad. Soon after its introduction, several other titles were released with Super NES Mouse support.

Although this device closely resembles and mimics the functionality of a two-button computer mouse, it was smaller than most computer mice of the time and had a significantly shorter cord than the standard Super NES controller.

[edit] List of compatible games

The SNES Mouse was supported by many games during its lifetime, and even by the Super Game Boy accessory. Certain games released after the SNES Mouse such as Tetris & Dr. Mario and Kirby Super Star will display a warning message indicating that the mouse is incompatible with that game.

This is an incomplete list of games that support the accessory:
