Game appearances

Sonic Adventure/Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut

The Rabbit made its debut in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut. In gameplay, Rabbits can alter the stats, appearance and personality of a Chao. These animals are found inside Badniks. Simply destroy the Badnik to release the Rabbit inside, and then touch it to pick it up. When released, the Rabbits have a green sphere around them, which disappears shortly afterwards. They are found in the following Action Stages:

• Casinopolis
• Emerald Coast
• Final Egg
• Speed Highway
• Twinkle Park

Upon entering a Chao Garden with a Rabbit, it will leave the playable character and run around the garden. The Rabbit will sparkle if it has not given them to a Chao in the garden. Should the player give a Rabbit to a Chao, the Chao will embrace it, attaining its appearance and behavior and raising its stats according to the Rabbit's. The Rabbit will then lose its sparkle and disappear shortly after.

Sonic Adventure 2/Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

In Sonic Adventure 2 and Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, the Rabbits appear again as Animals used for raising Chao. The way the player acquires the Rabbits, releases them into the Chao Garden, and uses them to alter Chao, is the same as in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure DX: Director's Cut. The Rabbits similarly disappear after being used and possess a temporary green sphere around them when released from robots. However, they do not sparkle in Chao Gardens like in the previous title.

In gameplay, the Rabbits are either found inside Badnik enemies or the second Chao Container opened in an Action Stage, or hiding somewhere in the Action Stages, usually inside Cages or Pipes. They are found in the following Action Stages:

Sonic Pinball Party

In Sonic Pinball Party, the Rabbits played a role in the game's Story mode. In this game, the Rabbits were among the Animals that came to Casinopolis, only to get kidnapped by Dr. Eggman and turned into robotic slaves. To save the Rabbits and his other Animal friends, Sonic entered the Egg Cup Tournament. Once Sonic completes the game's Story mode, a shot of a Rabbit leaving Casinopolis together with Sonic's friends and the other Animals is shown.

In gameplay, a Rabbit can be spotted in the lower left corner of the Sonic pinball table.

Sonic Rush

In Sonic Rush, the Rabbits appeared as victims of Dr. Eggman and Eggman Nega, who used them as organic batteries for their Badniks. The Rabbits can be found in Water Palace where they pop out of destroyed Badniks.
