Bunny Mario

Rabbit Mario (also referred to as Bunny Mario) is a form Mario can become in Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins by touching a Carrot. Rabbit Mario has rabbit ears coming out of his hat. When in the air, holding A button can slow his descent, and repeatedly mashing it can lead to a quasi-fluttering of the ears which can keep the player level in the air as the player proceeds through the level. Also, holding "A" while on the ground causes Mario to hop continuously. Rabbit Mario also lacks the ability to Spin Jump. In the second part of the final battle of Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins, Wario becomes Rabbit Wario and uses the same powers as Rabbit Mario to battle the hero.

Rabbit Mario appeared in Mario Kirby Meisaku Video, an obscure Japanese video starring Mario and Kirby. The Rabbit form was here put to use by Mario is he fought Wario and his monoplane, the Bulldog.
