can someone help identify this Nintendo Branded tool?

[qbertandernie]

i found this in a box of stuff, but i dont recall ever having seen one, and i cant seem to think of even what it might be for. the lighting is crap because flash glared the whiteness too badly. it is Nintendo branded...and im guessing its SNES era because it was in with a manual for Mario Paint, but this box had a ton of stuff, so it could be for N64 too i guess. i tried to think of everything that would need to be pried out aside of a jump pack, as the jump pack tools were not like this at all.

i know someone here knows its use...please tell me!

Mario Paint mouse roller cleaner (scraper).

Dave's right. The plastic mousepad that came with Mariopaint would get dirty, and so much grime and shit would accumulate on the ball rollers inside the mouse you had to take the ball out and use that tool to scrape the grime off of the rollers at least once a day. (maybe not once a day, but pretty frequently) If you didn't the cursor movement would be choppy or get stuck.

Any mods to add infrared movement instead of the mouse ball?
