Nintendo Badge Arcade launched about a month ago in the west, finally giving western gamers an opportunity to customize their screens even more than before. The free to start game has drawn some criticism for being a little cheap when it comes to value per play, but it nonetheless remains an infuriatingly addicting experience for collectors. Of course, this also was the debut of the 'Pink Rabbit', an upbeat salesman who really wants you to play the arcade games.
As we reported on earlier, there's a Nintendo Badge Arcade themed Super Mario Maker stage is due out soon and a costume based around the pink rabbit will be the reward for beating it. Nintendo just released a trailer showing off the pink rabbit costume in all of its glory, and you can check it out below:

Yet another character to make Super Mario Maker before Daisy. Yay.
It must take a lot more work to palette-swap an 8 bit sprite than I realize.
Interesting this is costume 113 and they skip 112. Obviously another is coming soon.
Perhaps Nintendo will start making Mystery Mushroom DLC. (As if they need more money)
I would like another option to get the original costumes. Expert 100 Mario Challenge is ridiculous (even if you skip levels!)
Man I hate that rabbit...
So… the rabbit's name is "Baito", which incidentally, is identical to how "byte" is written in Japanese.
Watch this replace Chibi-Robo as the new IP. It'll be a Yo-Noid clone for NES.
...wow that would be pretty cool actually.
@chewytapeworm : He's an obnoxious little turd.
I wouldn't mind paying a one-off fee for unlimited plays, but $1.30 per 5 plays? Hell no.
@NintyMan The bunny's a good guy. He never pressures me to spend money and he's always so chipper. : )
That bunny is great it makes that useless bade arcade tolerable. And even for collectors 1.00euro for play is to much. Im rooting for that bunny to become some other game character
No. Garbage.
I love the little jerk, I think he's hilarious
@sillygostly Or, if I were to fully "guy-jin" up, Click-Baito.
Bunny is the best. I'll be playing this level and making the extra effort to get his costume. Though I'll never see it as there are 4 choices for skins and it only shows up in the first, which I never use, why would I, it's a Wiig U game, I want it to look like a Wiig U game.
But bunny is the best. I'm surprised Energizer hasn't sued them yet. Maybe if the game ports to mobile.
Bucky O'Hare remake, anyone?
@SmaMan Comment of the year!
That bunny is evil
