Super Mouse
超级老鼠
Super Mouse is an action arcade game released by Taito Corporation in 1982. Players control a mouse navigating maze-like stages, collecting cheese and other items while avoiding enemies. The game draws comparisons to maze-chase titles popular at the time, requiring players to outmaneuver pursuing cats and other hazards across multiple levels. Controls are straightforward, using a joystick to move the mouse character through the play field. Each stage presents a fixed screen layout with increasing difficulty as players progress, with enemies becoming faster and more aggressive. Collecting all required items on a stage allows the player to advance to the next level. The game features multiple enemy types that patrol set paths, demanding players plan their routes carefully to grab collectibles and escape danger.
