Regaining a life brings one back from said void. Their spaceship appears in the Dribble and Spitz microgame, Space Escape.

In the Nintendo GameCube title, WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!, the Alien Bunnies have their own minigame where up to four players have to keep away from a larger Alien Bunny in a girl's wig.

In WarioWare: Twisted!, Alien Bunnies show up during Orbulon's story as his minions.

In WarioWare: Touched!, the Alien Bunnies appear in various places. One appears in the ending of Dr. Crygor's game and in the intro of Mike's game, where he goes to a planet full of them.

In Game & Wario, the Alien Bunnies make a brief appearance during the epilogue of Captain Wario's story as they are flying through the starry sky.

In WarioWare Gold, the Alien Bunnies show up during the intro of the story mode where they are seen with Wario as he promotes the Wario Bowl Games.

Two Alien Bunnies also appear during the intros of Mash League, Twist League and Touch League where Wario explains to the player how to use the buttons, gyro control and touch screen.

One of the Alien Bunnies appears in the intermissions of Wario (Mash), Jimmy T, Mona, Dribble and Spitz, 5-Volt and Wario Deluxe's stages where the player must control it to collect more coins to the box.

Two Alien Bunnies show up during the intro of 5-Volt's stage where they appear with Mr. Sparkles on TV as they hold frying pans. They also appear in the cutscene after the player clears four stages where Wario takes a gold coin bath as they beg him to pay them the reward once the tournament is over. Wario then scent a stinky smell coming out of a pot, considering it "the smell of victory." while disgusting Alien Bunnies and they moved back from him.

They later appear in the cutscene after the player beats eight stages where Wario was taking a nap and he woke up thinking that half of the contestants had given up already while calling them "a bunch of chumps." Wario was shocked when he witnessed that they've beaten eight stages already, and he angrily decided to "rage-nap". One of the Alien Bunnies couldn't take his rage snores and covered its ears.

Later on, they appear in the cutscene after all stages are beaten where Wario was promoting the Ultra League while performing a bungee jumping stunt.

They are last seen during the intro of Wario Deluxe's stage where one of them is holding the pot when Wario tells the player that he has claimed the reward.

WarioWare Gold character cards

 * Rank C – These critters are the perfect staff at Wario's tourney. They're not cheap, but they really, er... hop to it..
 * Rank B – They prefer to feed on fresh carotene and buy it by the log at home. Every bit of currency goes into carotene.
 * Rank A – They are beyond adorable, but they aren't into warm fuzzies. Their faces also don't emote all that much.

Trivia

 * Alien Bunnies can also be seen in the Japan-exclusive Rhythm Tengoku for the Game Boy Advance, its internationally released sequel Rhythm Heaven for the Nintendo DS, Rhythm Heaven Fever for the Wii, and Rhythm Heaven Megamix for the Nintendo 3DS.
