The main planet with a trio of Star Bunnies on it

Mario (or Luigi) starts off on a glass sphere planet with a treasure chest on the top. Mario will have to go under the planet to find a Green Shell and throw it at the chest to open it, revealing a Sling Star. Mario then launches himself from the Sling Star, allowing him to reach the next planet. On the main planet, Mario encounters a trio of Star Bunnies. They challenge him to find all three of them within a time limit of 150 seconds (2:30 minutes).

The first Star Bunny can be found by using the Star Pointer to search through the snow to find it hopping out of a hole buried under the snow. Some of them will reveal Star Bits, while one of them contains the bunny. To find the next Star Bunny, Mario will have to step on all of the hidden Flipswitch Panels, some of which are hidden underneath the snow, to make a Fire Flower appear on one of the sides of the planet. Mario must grab the Fire Flower, and quickly shoot fireballs at the snowmen to reveal the bunny hiding inside. Additionally, one of the snowmen will release another Green Shell, which is necessary to break open the treasure chest on the side of the planet, which is where the last Star Bunny is hiding. Revealing the Fire Flower will cause a part of the planet to lower, and if Star Bunnies fall down there, it will be much easier to capture them.

Once Mario has successfully captured all three Star Bunnies before time runs out, they give him a Power Star as a reward. Otherwise, he will lose a life.
