I don’t know why a random theory that some guy made on YouTube is on the MIPS page, that is why I am removing it.

'''MIPS''' (or simply the '''Yellow Rabbit''') is a [[rabbit]] found in the basement of [[Princess Peach's Castle]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. When Mario approaches MIPS, he runs away. After [[Mario]] catches MIPS, the rabbit gives him a [[Power Star]]. MIPS appears in the basement a second time after Mario has collected fifty Power Stars. Mario can catch MIPS again and will get another Power Star from him. In the remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', there are many different [[rabbit]]s modeled after MIPS, but they do not give up Power Stars. Instead, they give up [[key]]s to unlock minigames in the [[Rec Room (Super Mario 64 DS)|Rec Room]]. Two of Mario's and one of [[Yoshi]]'s rabbits can be found in the same location MIPS was in the original game. 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 also makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Mario Party 3]] '' on the [[Woody Woods]] board where several can be seen around the board.
==Trivia==
*MIPS got his name from the [[wikipedia:MIPS architecture|MIPS]] (
**Several fans have also thought that MIPS gets his name from the measure of a computer's processor speed, which is measured in '''M'''illions of '''I'''nstructions '''P'''er '''S'''econd.
**A viral fan theory stated that MIPS actually stands for '''M'''asters of '''I'''llusions and '''P'''owerful '''S'''ecrets. Claiming that it has something to do with Rabbits taking over. The video can be found below.
*MIPS is involved in a glitch where if the player picks him up and places him near a wall, Mario will go through that wall.
*[[Star Bunnies]] from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and it's [[Super Mario Galaxy 2|successor]] are similar to MIPS as they both run away from Mario and can give up [[Power Stars]].
*MIPS can be picked up like a normal object when Mario collects the star but this was changed in the [[Super Mario 64 DS|DS remake]], as if Mario ([[Yoshi|or]] [[Luigi|anyone]] [[Wario|else]]) tries to pick up one of the rabbits based on MIPS, they just tell
*Although not quoted directly, several of MIPS's lines reference [[wikipedia:Alice in Wonderland|Alice in Wonderland]]'s [[wikipedia:White Rabbit|White Rabbit]].
