STROOP- MIPS

MIPS (Japanese: ミップ Mippu, MIP) is Princess Peach's yellow pet rabbit from Super Mario 64. He appears in the basement of the Mushroom Castle after the player has 15 and 50 Power Stars. On each occasion, when Mario catches him, MIPS grants another Power Star. He often quotes the White Rabbit from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

MIPS was the first character created for Super Mario 64 alongside Mario himself, and was used extensively in early tests. The development team liked him enough to include him in the game. His name stands for Microprocessor without Interlocked Pipeline Stages, the Nintendo 64 instruction set.

After making a cameo appearance on Woody Woods in Mario Party 3, MIPS was replaced with several rabbits in Super Mario 64 DS, which are internally named "MIP". One appeared in the opening sequence to help the player adjust to the game's movement. Since then, many MIPS-like characters appear fairly early on into future Mario games to give practice with the controls.

Physical appearance[]

MIPS is a yellow bunny with glossy orange eyelids and a black nose. He does not appear to have arms in his original game, although future appearances show him with arms.
