In [[Mega Microgame$]], '''Alien Bunnies''' were the life counter for Orbulon's games. Every time the player lose one of his lives, an alien bunny gets sucked into a nameless void. Regaining a life brings one back from said void. Their spaceship appears in the Dribble & Spitz microgame, Space Escape. In the GameCube remake, [[Mega Party Game$]], they had their own minigame, where up to four had to keep away from a larger space hare in a girl's wig.
