Biography
Mips carries Power Stars and appears in the castle basement at particular progression thresholds. His catch challenge adds a small movement puzzle between courses.
Appearance
Mips is a small yellow rabbit that runs away when approached.
Personality
His personality is expressed through evasive movement and playful dialogue rather than a larger story arc.
Role in the story
The player can encounter him more than once as the star total grows. A successful first catch does not mean his entire reward role is finished.
Gameplay and encounters
Anticipate where he will run and use corners to restrict his options. Chasing directly behind him indefinitely is less effective than positioning Mario to intercept the next turn.
