This fan-made pixel art skin turns your pointer into a floating Metroid, the jellyfish creature from the classic games, drawn in bright retro colors with a looping animation that pulses as you move. If you grew up on Metroid Fusion or just like chunky old-school sprites, you will enjoy having one hover over your desktop. It runs as a live desktop cursor via Mouse X on Steam ($2.99 once, free demo available), with all Workshop skins included. Not affiliated with Nintendo.
“The Metroid series and the game Metroid Fusion are property of Nintendo.” (Ilovesuckinglemons, on the Workshop)
Install Mouse X from Steam, then subscribe to the skin on its Workshop page (or inside the app). Mouse X downloads it and you can apply it with one click. No .cur files, no Control Panel digging.
Does it work on Windows 11?
Yes. Mouse X supports Windows 10 and 11, uses very little memory and CPU, and doesn’t hook or inject into games or other apps, so it runs quietly alongside everything else.
Is this cursor free?
The skin itself is free, like everything on the Mouse X Workshop. Mouse X is $2.99 on Steam, and the free demo lets you try custom cursors before buying.
This cursor skin was created and shared by a member of the Mouse X community on the Steam Workshop.
