'''Nabbit''' is a recurring character in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Making his first appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' as an enemy, Nabbit would go on to become a playable character in both ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. Following this, Nabbit would continue to appear in various different series with varying roles, including the ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'', ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'', and ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, as well as ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. | '''Nabbit''' is a recurring character in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. Making his first appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

His name is a portmanteau of "nab" and "rabbit"; it is also derived from "dagnabbit", a word used to express anger or surprise. Being a thief, he steals items, particularly from [[Toad House]]s, before running away with them in his bag, which he almost always carries with him. This almost always serves as a hindrance, making Nabbit an antagonist, though he also appears as the occasional playable character along with other minor roles. | His English name is a portmanteau of "nab" and "rabbit"; it is also derived from "dagnabbit", a word used to express anger or surprise.

Nabbit is a purple rabbit with round eyes, long ears, and black limbs. He wears a white handkerchief with a drawing of a large mouth with sharpened teeth, similar to [[Bowser Jr.]]'s mask, though there is no indication he actually works for [[Bowser]]. He also wears orange shoes and white gloves. Additionally, a [[Play Nintendo]] article conjectures that Nabbit has buckteeth behind the handkerchief.<ref>"''The Easter Bunny has buckteeth.

Nabbit reappears as a playable character yet again in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. Much like in ''New Super Luigi U'', Nabbit is a "beginner" character alongside the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and retains his immunity to enemy attacks, but can still lose a life by falling into an abyss like a bottomless pit, lava, or poison.<ref name=SMBWDirect>Nintendo of America (August 31, 2023).

Despite this, when under the [[Hoppycat]] or [[Wubba]] [[Wonder Effect]] transformations, he can still take damage and shrink into a small form like the other characters. He also retains his inability to use power-ups, instead turning them into [[flower coin]]s. Unlike in his previous appearances, Nabbit is able to ride Yoshis like the rest of the characters. He once again gains new voice clips, but this time by [[Dawn M. Bennett]].<ref name=Gamepage>[https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/super-mario-bros-wonder-switch/ Super Mario Bros.™ Wonder ]</ref> | ||

The character [[zeldawiki:Ravio|Ravio]] from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds]]'' has a similar appearance to Nabbit, as pointed out by several fans in the comments of [http://web.archive.org/web/20170207125543/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAABAADMUKlYz1zqxQ a Miiverse post] with an in-development screenshot showing the character. However, [[Satoru Iwata]], during the October 1, 2013 Nintendo Direct, officially dismissed the similarities as an unintentional coincidence. Additionally, Iwata added that the developers work so closely together that it is not surprising that similar designs could manifest in different, unrelated games.<ref>Nintendo (October 1, 2013).
