The '''Racing Rabbit''' is a rabbit from ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'' that lives in the carrot-shaped house [[Fungi Forest]]. He apparently heard from somewhere that [[Lanky Kong]] is very fast, so he challenged him to a race for a [[Golden Banana]]. In the first race, he was easily beaten by Lanky at his normal speed. However, after Lanky won, the Rabbit refused to give him the banana. Instead, he tells Lanky to come back and to accept the "consolation prize," which is 3 [[Blue Coins]].
