Space Hares appear in ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'' in [[Orbulon]]'s story. As their ship passes by [[Oinker|Orbulon's UFO]], they notice its distress signal. A Space Hare lowers an elevator into the UFO to rescue Orbulon. During gameplay, they serve as the life counter for [[microgame]]s. Failing one causes a hole to appear under the leftmost Space Hare and cause it to fall into space. Gaining a life causes one to rise back from a hole. After seeing Orbulon, they drop him back into the UFO. They dance with Orbulon during the intermissions. The spaceships of the Space Hares appear in [[Space Escape]], one of [[Dribble & Spitz]]'s microgames.
