His English name is a portmanteau of "nab" and "rabbit"; it is also derived from "dagnabbit", a word used to express anger or surprise. Being a thief, he steals items, particularly from [[Toad House]]s, before running away with them in his bag, which he almost always carries with him. This almost always serves as a hindrance, making Nabbit an antagonist, though he also appears as the occasional playable character along with other minor roles.

Nabbit is a purple rabbit with round eyes, long ears, and black limbs. He wears a white handkerchief with a drawing of a large mouth with sharpened teeth, similar to [[Bowser Jr.]]'s mask, though there is no indication he actually works for [[Bowser]]. He also wears orange shoes and white gloves. Additionally, a [[Play Nintendo]] article conjectures that Nabbit has buckteeth behind the handkerchief.<ref>{{cite|quote=The Easter Bunny has buckteeth.

Nabbit resides in the [[Toad House|Purple Toad House]] on the [[Secret Island]], as implied by ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and confirmed in ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games''. Several descriptions of the character throughout his appearances allude to him keeping close tabs on [[Mario]], as demonstrated by the records kept in the Purple Toad House in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.

Nabbit reappears as a playable character in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', retaining his abilities from ''New Super Luigi U'', but has a new voice that resembles that of a Toad. Nabbit can now hold objects and [[Baby Yoshi]]s (unlike in ''New Super Luigi U'') and is also playable in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' levels for the first time. He can also bounce on [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], as opposed to only going through them like in ''New Super Luigi U'' (he remains incapable of riding Yoshis however), and has swimming physics like the [[Penguin Mario|penguin form]]. In addition, Nabbit is resistant to slipping on [[ice]]. [[Toadette]] also has the aforementioned two abilities.

Nabbit will be immune to enemies just like he is when running away from the heroes, and he can also collect lives from items. However, he cannot get any effects from power-ups; they always award the player with 1000 points instead. He is not playable in [[Challenge Mode (New Super Mario Bros. U)|Challenge Mode]]. On the character select screens, he is labeled as "Easiest" ("Very Easy" in the British English version). When playing as Nabbit, 100 seconds are added to the timer. However, no bigger time bonus is given when both Nabbit and Toadette are being played. Additionally, any level completed in single player as Nabbit is marked as purple. It is still possible to visit the next level, though.

In the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], Nabbit made his first appearance in ''[[Mario Party 10]]''. He is a non-playable character who appears if Team Mario lands on a [[Bowser Block Space|Bowser Block -1 Space]] to take a Dice Block away from Bowser. He also appears in the credits if the dice lands on a Bowser mark. Nabbit's second appearance is in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', although only as a cameo in [[Absent Minded]], where artwork of him can sometimes be chosen as a guess. Similarly, in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', artwork of him can appear in [[Big-Top Quiz]].

The character [[zeldawiki:Ravio|Ravio]] from ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds}}'' has a similar appearance to Nabbit, as pointed out by several fans in the comments of [http://web.archive.org/web/20170207125543/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAABAADMUKlYz1zqxQ a Miiverse post] with an in-development screenshot showing the character. However, [[Satoru Iwata]], during the October 1, 2013 Nintendo Direct, officially dismissed the similarities as an unintentional coincidence. Additionally, Iwata added that the developers work so closely together that it is not surprising that similar designs could manifest in different, unrelated games.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Nintendo of America|date=October 1, 2013|url=youtu.be/X8khWAH13fg?t=1628|title=Nintendo Direct 10.1.2013|timestamp=27:08|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=January 2, 2014}}</ref>
