Nabbit

Nabbit is an enemy introduced in New Super Mario Bros. U. The name "Nabbit" is a play on the words "nab it". He is a thief who steals items from Toad Houses and runs away with them in his bag. He is a purple creature with round eyes, long ears and black limbs, and wears a white handkerchief with a drawing of a large mouth with sharpened teeth, similar to Bowser Jr's. He also wears orange shoes and white gloves.

The player can find Nabbit in various levels. When they meet, they must chase him throughout the course within 100 seconds. Mario and his friends can also toss Koopa Shells at Nabbit to stun him temporarily; or throw a few fireballs to stop him. When caught, Toad will take the P-Acorn out of the bag and give it to the player.

Nabbit appears in every world, besides Peach's Castle and Superstar Road, and catching him in every world is necessary in collecting a star on the player's save file.
