Not recommended. Among small animals, some of the features work fine for bunnies, but nothing works well for pigs. Mr. Sparkles was over the other day and he was able to complete the short track for the simple run just by hopping around repeatedly. Maybe next he will challenge Yue-bing to play in 2P mode. Anything beyond the short track he gets tired out though, he got about halfway through the long track and less than a third through the island loop track before giving up.

This is not true. Relative prices have stayed the same or decreased. Rumors of a shortage are being perpetuated by Yue-bing but the reality it is a non-issue.

Afterward he attended the Charity Meet for Tuan Tuan and was shooting away with his camera until the memory card filled up. He entrusted the task of dumping his memory card to Mr. Sparkles (who in reality volunteered for this task) but should have known better b'cos Mr. Sparkles is a compulsive nibbler who instead quickly nibbled up his memory card. So I'm guessing they were all lost, unless he managed to recover any of them but that is somewhat unlikely considering the condition the card was when he finally was able to retrieve it from Mr. Sparkles. The lesson here is obvious, don't trust a compulsive nibbler to dump the data off your memory card, or trust him to hold on to your memory card at all.

The reason that most people miss is an overdependence on the CG that is somewhat pervasive today. Sure the first one had it too but it found ways to keep it low-key and non-disruptive. The problem with this is that too often the frames seem like a collection of different overlayed things rather than drawn how a true scene is with some sense of coherence or connectedness. They take shortcuts, ie. perspective is applied to the background but not the characters, or just inconsistently, to some characters and not others. First season, they did the proper thing to apply perspective to the whole scene, not just the background.

No. Human-sized bunnies do not exist. Probably, what you saw was a person (or some other person-sized animal) in a bunny outfit. Not a real bunny.
