The Rabbit,[1][2][3] also known as Mr. Rabbit,[2] Fast Rabbit,[4] or Speedy Bunny,[5] is a character in Donkey Kong 64 who lives in the carrot-shaped house in Fungi Forest. The Rabbit can first be raced after Lanky Kong wakes him using Trombone Tremor. The Rabbit wishes to race Lanky since he heard Lanky is a fast racer. The Rabbit races Lanky twice. The Rabbit does not give Lanky the Golden Banana if he wins the first race, but instead gives him a "consolation prize" of three blue Banana Coins. The Rabbit is much faster in the second race, so Lanky is required to use OrangStand Sprint to have a chance at winning. Though the Rabbit cries about losing, he gives the Golden Banana to Lanky. In both races, the Rabbit will instantly defeat the Klump if their paths collide; however, the Rabbit cannot defeat the Kasplat, and his pathway during the race may be blocked by it, slowing him down. Later on, Chunky Kong finds the Rabbit tied to a TNT Barrel in an igloo at Crystal Caves, and the Rabbit can be freed after defeating every flame, earning Chunky another Golden Banana.
