Nabbit (トッテン, Totten) is a character in the Super Mario series, first appearing in Nintendo's 2012 platformer New Super Mario Bros. U for the Wii U. Nabbit, depicted as a purple rabbit-like creature, is a thief who steals items from Toads. Initially depicted as an antagonist for the player to chase down in levels to recover the stolen items, Nabbit was later upgraded to the role of playable character in the 2013 expansion pack New Super Luigi U and has since appeared in other games in the Mario franchise. Unlike other playable characters, he is immune to most forms of damage, often being designated as an "easy mode" character. Nabbit was originally voiced by Natsuko Yokoyama, but was later replaced by Dawn M. Bennett in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
Due to his immunity to damage, Nabbit had a mixed reception as playable character. Some critics welcomed the character as a good option for beginner players, while others believed the character ruined the difficulty of the gameplay and made him unenjoyable to play as.
