“What part of ‘I'm not your lunch’ do you not understand? I already gave you the key! Put me down!”
—Rabbit, Super Mario 64 DS

Rabbits of the Mushroom Kingdom, much like their "Real World" counterparts, are small, furry mammals with long ears and large hind paws. They're common in the fields and wooded regions of the kingdom. These animals also feature quite prominently in several Mario games.

History

Nintendo Comics System

In the Bowser Knows Best issue of Nintendo Comics System, the Koopa Family has a pet rabbit named Pookie who they often mistreat, but escapes soon after his introduction.

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins

In Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, Mario could become Rabbit Mario by eating a Carrot. While in this form, Mario could use his new-found rabbit ears to hover momentarily while falling or jumping.

Nintendo Adventure Books

In Leaping Lizards, Morton Koopa Jr. sneaks into the palace, vandalizing it and transforming the Mushroom King into a rabbit with his Magic Scepter. Luigi's attempt to change the king back with the same scepter only makes matters worse, changing the king from a normal bunny into a human-sized one. In a later book, Unjust Desserts, Magikoopa sneaks into the palace garden with some enemies he had shrunk by shapeshifting into a rabbit.

Wario's Woods

In the SNES game Wario's Woods, a suit-wearing rabbit by the name of Harry Hare faces Toad, as the seventeenth boss.

Super Mario 64

In Super Mario 64, a yellow rabbit named MIPS could be found in the basement of Peach's Castle. If caught, he would give Mario a secret Power Star. MIPS was found twice in the game, the first time time after collecting fifteen Power Stars, and the second time after fifty Stars.

Super Mario 64 DS

In Super Mario 64 DS, rabbits feature much more prominently. They are found throughout the castle grounds (and their locations vary from character to character). The designated rabbits for each character have a specific color - yellow for Yoshi, pink for Mario, green for Luigi, and orange for Wario. If caught, they would unlock mini-games for the player to play in the Rec-Room. Special glowing rabbits needed to be caught to unlock a white door in the Character Door room, behind which was a secret Power Star. They will appear only after collecting at least 50 Power Star

Super Mario Galaxy

Though actual Rabbits do not appear in Super Mario Galaxy, a sub-species of cosmic Rabbits known as Star Bunnies appear in the game, however many of them are simply Lumas in disguise. Real ones, however, can be found in Galaxies such as Space Junk, Snow Cap, and, most notably, Gusty Garden. These star bunnies act very similar to MIPS in Super Mario 64, with the exception of that they appear to find it much more fun to be chased.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

In Super Mario Galaxy 2 numerous Star Bunnies can be found inhabiting the Freezy Flake Galaxy and one can later be found on the Starship Mario. The secret mission in Cosmic Cove Galaxy also involves a Star Bunny. In this game, all Star Bunnies are real and none are Lumas.
