Along with Mario, MIPS was the first character created for ''Super Mario 64''. MIPS 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, the rabbit, can be first seen in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', after the player collected fifteen [[Power Star]]s. He is found in the basement of the Mushroom Castle - when [[Mario]] approaches MIPS, he runs away. After Mario catches MIPS, the rabbit rewards him a Power Star. MIPS appears in the basement a second time after Mario has collected fifty Power Stars, and Mario can catch MIPS again for another Power Star. MIPS will not reappear for the rest of the game after that. | |||

[[ | In the remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', MIPS does not make a reappearance, instead being replaced by the rabbits scattered throughout the castle for each character to find. They are modeled after MIPS, but they do not give up Power Stars. Instead, they give up [[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 can be found in the same location MIPS was in the original game. | ||
