I've had this on my list of wants for years. Need to pull the trigger. That mouse looks like it's in great shape!

It’s pretty fun but it’s 100 levels to finish the game and there’s no save or password feature which means you have to play through the whole game all in one sitting. That’s my biggest complaint. 😮‍💨

That's like the old days. We used to pause our games and leave it on for days until we could play again. One time the NES power adapter started melting into the outlet 😬 Not ideal lol

It originally made use of Nintendo’s Super Scope light gun, but the developers couldn’t quite make the mechanics function properly and a decision was made to use the SFC mouse instead.

The player controls a fairy named Wanda who must guide Mario (blinded by a bucket on his head) to the end of each stage through various traps and obstacles.

Wanda can “point and click” on objects (using the mouse) to interact with them and help guide Mario to the goal.

Wow I thought the only SNES bundle that had the mouse was Mario Paint!

Yeah, there were a lot more games in Japan that used the mouse so it got more support and bundles over there.

Really wish it had done better over here… 😢

Here’s the standalone mouse I mentioned.

Ugh I love Japanese box design theory! It's always so artsy even when it doesn't have to be at all.

It was such a cool peripheral! Mario Paint was one of my favorite ways to pass the time on summer days!
