If you've ever wondered what the video game equivalent of the Minions are, look no further than the Rabbids, born from the Rayman franchise. Rabbids are small, albino rabbits with goofy facial expressions, mischievous creatures that are equal parts cute and annoying. They've shown up in bunch of Rayman games over the years, and even have their own, like Rayman Raving Rabbids, Rabbids Go Home and Raving Rabbids Travel In Time.

Which makes the rumour that they're going to show up in a Super Mario crossover game at the Switch's launch all the more bonkers. The game is supposedly going to be a turn based RPG, similar in style to the XCOM series. In it, there'll be good Rabbids and evil Rabbids, and a heavy focus on many of the more minor characters from Mario's history, including Yoshi.

Though this rumour sounds totally weird, it's the sort of rumour that is so outlandish that you can't really imagine someone randomly making it up. And it comes from reliable leaker and games journalist, Laura Kate Dale.

Guess we just gotta wait and see...
