In the 1980s, Tecmo had a short-lived bunny rabbit mascot who would appear standing next to the Tecmo logo in credits sequences and title screens, as well as a rare power-up in Solomon's Key and Mighty Bomb Jack. Bad News Baseball is the only known game where he makes a physical appearance, as the umpire.
