Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope - Bunny Racing

Today's subject will be about Bunny Racing.  Bunny Races are located in the Colosseum, after entering, go left or right and you will see a staircase.  After going down the stairs look to your right to see a woman standing next to a Big Pink Bunny.  Talk to her, and take on the Quest that she gives to you.  After finishing it, she lets you have the Bunny, which after talking to it, allows you to give it a name.  I named my Bunny "Hops."

Anyway after naming the Bunny, you can talk to it again and a menu will pop up containing its Status, as well as the option to feed it some pie.  The pies you are allowed to feed it are, Speed Pie, Acceleration Pie, Stamina Pie, and Miracle Pie.  My Bunny started off with Speed 15, Accel. 18, and Stamina 32.  After feeding it a Stamina Pie it's Stamina raised to 35.  I am going to assume that if you use the other pies they will raise the stat that they are named after, and that Miracle Pie will raise all or some of the stats.

To participate in a Race, you must have at least 5 Fight Coins, which can be won from the Arena, which is located on the floor above.  There are 3 Classes to race in, Class 5, which takes 5 Fight Coins to participate, Class 20, which takes 20 Fight Coins, and Class 100, which takes 100. Each Race goes up in difficulty as you enter the higher Classes.  There are 5 Bunnies participating in the Race, including yours.

During a Race, you can Coach your Bunny by telling it what to do.  You can have it Jump, which causes the other Bunnies to temporarily stop running, and you can Dash, which makes your Bunny get a boost of speed.  Dashing and Jumping cause your Stamina meter, which is located in the top left corner of the screen, to lower.  If you run low on energy, just let your Bunny run for a little while and the Stamina will refill a little bit at a time.

After placing 1st or 2nd in a Race, you receive Fight Coins as a Prize.  The amount is based on which Race you entered, and you get more than what you had to pay.  Getting 1st obviously pays more than 2nd, and anything lower than that receives nothing.  Races are 3 Laps around a figure 8 shaped track.
