| “ | She loves racing and fashion. See if you can pass her when she's catching her breath! | ” | — Patch Plaza description |
Mara is a light purple rabbit-like creature and the final neighbor (or tenant as they are called in the game) that Kirby can get in Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. Like other neighbors, she offers a minigame that Kirby can play. In this game, Kirby must race her to a certain point within a random stage. Like all the other minigames, winning Mara's game awards Kirby a prize.
Mara's name is a clipping of "marathon", a term usually used to describe a long-distance running event.
