Master the Bunny Races in Star Ocean: The Last Hope! Learn how to prepare your bunny, upgrade stats with pies, and master Dash & Jump commands for the Hasty Hare Handler and Rapid Rabbit Wrangler trophies.
The Bunny Racecourse is located on the lower level of the Colosseum. To participate, you must first obtain your own bunny by completing the Listless Bunny Quest.
Speak to the clerk behind the desk on the lower level to enter a race. There are three classes: Class 5 (Easy, 5 Fight Coins entry, 20 prize), Class 20 (Moderate, 20 Fight Coins entry, 100 prize), and Class 100 (Hard, 100 Fight Coins entry, 400 prize). You'll need to earn Fight Coins by fighting arena battles before you can enter. To earn the Hasty Hare Handler and Rapid Rabbit Wrangler Trophies/Achievements, focus on the Class 100 race.
Preparing Your Bunny
Your party's level and gear do not affect bunny race performance. To improve your bunny's stats (Speed, Acceleration, Stamina), feed it pies made via Item Creation. Each stat can be raised to a maximum of 200. Stamina is the most crucial stat.
| Pie | Ingredients | Stat | Stat Change |
| Speed Pie | Pie Crusts x2, Lemon x1, Fresh Cream x1 | Speed | +3 |
| Acceleration Pie | Pie Crusts x2, Sweet Fruit x3 | Acceleration | +3 |
| Stamina Pie | Pie Crusts x2, Raw Animal Meat x2 | Stamina | +3 |
| Miracle Pie | Pie Crusts x2, Common Egg x1, Vegetables x1, Rich Cheese x1 | Random | +3 |
To create these pies, Reimi's Cooking skill must be level 10, and she needs to be in an invention group with Sarah. To efficiently gather ingredients, raise Bacchus's Engineering skill to level 10 and have him in an invention group with Sarah to invent the Li'l Vending Machine No. 2. Place this ship furnishing on a glowing square in the Recreation Room on the Calnus to buy ingredients.
Ingredients for the Li'l Vending Machine No. 2:
- Micro Circuit x2 (Shop: Li'l Vending Machine No. 1, Centropolis)
- Iron x4 (Shop: Woodley, Astral City; Mining: Aeos)
- Scrambling Unit x1 (Shop: Centropolis)
- Universal Device x2 (Shop: Centropolis)
Pie ingredients can be found:
- Pie Crusts (Shop: Li'l Vending Machine No. 2, Woodley, Centropolis)
- Lemon (Harvesting: Planet Aeos - Landing Point, Northern Coast; Planet Lemuris - Thalia Plains, Van Elm Region)
- Fresh Cream (Shop: Li'l Vending Machine No. 2, Woodley, Tatroi, Astral City, Centropolis)
- Sweet Fruit (Shop: Tatroi (Ruddle), Astral City)

- Common Egg (Shop: Woodley, Tatroi, Astral City, Centropolis)
- Vegetables (Shop: Woodley, Tatroi, Astral City, Centropolis)

After gathering ingredients, create pies on the Calnus. Lemons are the only buyable ingredient. Miracle Pies can be used to randomly boost stats, even Speed if it's already at 200. Feed the pies to your bunny at the Colosseum.
Racing Your Bunny
During a race, you cannot steer your bunny. Your only commands are Dash and Jump. Dash consumes stamina, so a high Stamina stat is important. Pressing Dash rhythmically every two or three hops allows for continuous sprinting. A Jump creates tremors to stun opponents. Pressing Jump simultaneously when an opponent's portrait flashes (indicating they are about to jump) can prevent you from being stunned. Offensive jumps can backfire; use them cautiously, as some bunnies are resistant. Save jumps primarily for avoiding negative effects from other bunnies.
Receive the Hasty Hare Handler Trophy/Achievement when you win 50 bunny races in 100 Class racing.
You earn the Rapid Rabbit Wrangler Trophy/Achievement for winning 100 races in 100 Class racing.
The game does not track your bunny racing record, so keep a manual tally for trophy progress. Winning a Class 100 race rewards the Bunny Champion Medal, a neck accessory that boosts DEF and HIT stats and has four factors.
