City Connection and a black bunny

Post by TKGB_Mental_Gear »

Well this is a bit trivial but I can't get it off my head so I'm hoping you guys can help me since most of us are familiar with MAME here.

City Connection, a game by Jaleco where you drive a car around in order to paint the road a different color. Mostly played on the NES by many but there is an arcade version of as seen.

I was playing the game to get some screenshots as reference when I suddenly came across this:

Yes, it's a black bunny. I just so happen to come across it when a car just happen to crash into me. I've played the game for 3 more hours but I never saw it again. I've played City Connection for many times but this is the first I'm hearing of this black bunny.

My chances of someone playing this game recently is slim and even slimmer than someone came across it but, does anyone know what that rabbit is for? The fact that after 3 hours of playing I only saw it once and that I can't find info online about makes me think it's very rare. Is it for points, is to warp to another level, or is it like those annoying cats with flags you gotta avoid. Or am I the only one who came across it.

Jaleco, what were you planning to do with that black bunny?

Oddly enough, I was just playing this last week.
The FC version along with 6 other games are on the Jaleco Collection Vol.1 for JPN Playstation.

I'd never played City Connection, but had long heard/read about it, so was interested to give it a shot.
It kicked my ass, and I never gave it a chance.
Now, looking for the Black Rabbit, I shall give it another go.

The black bunny is worth 3,000 points.

So it's just for score? So does that mean it just a token like the balloons? Well not like the balloons since they warp you if you get 3.

If that's the case, is there any others that give you points or is it just the black bunny?

Just bought this game today along with 11 other NES games, and I've never seen from all my play throughs on the ROM, the black bunny before. Quite an oddity I'll have to look out for in the future.
