He is found in the basement of the Mushroom Castle. MIPS runs from Mario when approached, but when he is caught by Mario, MIPS the rabbit rewards him with a Power Star. MIPS appears in the basement a second and last time after Mario has collected 50 Power Stars, and Mario can catch MIPS again to earn another Power Star. Several of MIPS's lines reference the {{wp|White Rabbit}} from ''{{wp|Alice's Adventures in Wonderland}}''. | ||
Along with [[Mario]], MIPS was the first character created for ''Super Mario 64''. He was used extensively in early [[Nintendo 64]] test simulations and ultimately made it into the final game because the development team liked him so much.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20100218201702/http://www.miyamotoshrine.com/theman/interviews/1096.shtml Shigeru Miyamoto Interview from Nintendo Power (October 1996) at Miyamoto Shrine]</ref> | MIPS is named after the {{wp|MIPS architecture|MIPS}} (Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages) microprocessor, the instruction set used in the Nintendo 64.

Since his debut, MIPS made a few cameo appearances. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', several MIPS–ranging from yellow, orange, and pink–can be seen gathering near the item shop in [[Woody Woods]]. Other than this, MIPS makes a cameo in the ''Super Mario 64'' storyline of ''[[Mario no Bōken Land]]''. | |||
MIPS does not appear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Instead, he is replaced with the rabbits scattered throughout the castle for each player character to find. They are modeled after MIPS, but they do not give up Power Stars, but instead [[key]]s to unlock [[minigame]]s in the [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]]. Two of Mario's, one of [[Wario]]'s, and one of [[Yoshi]]'s rabbits are in the same location as MIPS in ''Super Mario 64''. The rabbits are also internally named "MIP"<ref>''Super Mario 64 DS'' internal object name (<tt>MIP</tt>)</ref> with their key known as a "MIP Key,"<ref>''Super Mario 64 DS'' internal object name (<tt>OBJ_MIP_KEY</tt>)</ref> with the former corroborated by the Shogakukan guide. | |||
