Holidaius
Holidaius is a winter-themed planet, and is the focus for Holiday Hare '94. Holidaius is very festive; there are Christmas trees (complete with tree lights), large candy poles, and an alien Santa Claus (seen in the ending sequence of Holiday Hare ’94).

Holiday Hare '94 Appearance
Holiday Hare ’94’s four levels were all based on Holidaius. The three main levels took place during the different stages of the day; there was a day/morning level, an evening level, and a (mid)night level. The first level has a secret level in it. The first two levels used Xmas3.psm, which was a hard rock remix of classic Christmas carols (e.g. Jingle Bells and Deck the Halls). The last and also the secret level used a calm version of Silent Night.
Holiday Hare '94 Enemies
Holidaius levels had the following enemies:
- Giant blue bulldogs, requiring to be shot three times
- Zombie hands that appeared out of floor and ceiling
Level three used flying demons instead of the bulldogs.
Features
- Christmas trees with lights.
- Large candy poles, similar to those in Candion from Holiday Hare '95.
- Dark caves.
- There is a hidden message in the tileset; it says “Craig is a doofus”, just like text strings in Jazz Jackrabbit 2 placed in Diamondus and Medivo.
