Wabbit is a different type of vertical shooter that has you defending a garden against hungry rabbits. It's similar to the bonus stage in coin-op Carnival. According to Dan Oliver, the programmer was a Vietnamese woman who later worked on the 5200.
• The manual mentions the rabbit’s score counter will drop 25 carrots (points), but what it doesn’t mention is it will drop 50 points if you reach 1,000 (and roll the score counter).
• BUG: Kill screen – At 1,100, the rabbits start moving so erratically that they aren’t able to clear all the rows. At 1,300 points, the rabbits disappear, making it impossible to continue.
