The Rub Rabbits!, known in Japan as Where Do Babies Come From? (赤ちゃんはどこからくるの? Akachan wa Dokokara Kuruno?), is a dating sim/puzzle video game that was developed by Sonic Team and published by SEGA for the Nintendo DS. As the successor to Feel the Magic: XY/XX, the game was released in Japan on October 20, 2005, in North America on February 7, 2006, and in Europe on February 10, 2006.
As in Feel the Magic, the player takes on the role of a boy trying to court a girl. The game offers a similar mini-game play, but with new games and modes. In all, seven modes of play are included, among them modes where the player can customize their girlfriend and make a baby to the player's liking.
The Rub Rabbits! features an all-new protagonist, love interest and villain. The villain is a nerdy friend of the protagonist's from way back who has a crush on him, and uses her technical prowess to create inventions in order to prevent the protagonist and the love interest from getting together.
The Rub Rabbits! expands upon the scat singing music style of the first game, introducing the formula to various classical songs,including: the overture to Carmen, Beethoven's Fifth Symphony and the overture of Orpheus in the Underworld
The last scene upon completing Story mode shows that the protagonist is also the man with rabbit ears from Feel the Magic: XY/XX and, with his new friends, forms the Rub Rabbits. This makes The Rub Rabbits! somewhat of a prequel to Feel the Magic: XY/XX, as after this sequence a message is displayed telling the player to play Feel the Magic: XY/XX for "the rest of the story". In a mistake however, the European version of the game refers to the first game by its American title, even though the European version was called Project Rub.
