As always, try to view these videos in HQ.
(As a bonus, a grateful Chelsea teaches Bunny how to fly during their trip home!)
Big thanks to NakaTeleeli (http://www.youtube.com/user/NakaTeleeli) for tipping me off to using the snowflakes for invincibility.
Firstly, this CAN be done by using Vermillion Rod and waiting for 20 seconds, but that's incredibly lame. To do it the MANLY way, you'll need some tips and practice.
~ Firstly, focus solely on his jumping and when he's going to land. Do NOT focus on the fire, at least during initial practice, otherwise you will take several hits from the stomps. I believe stomp damage and fire damage take the same amount of HP away, and the fire can SOMETIMES be dodged even when you're not paying attention. Obviously, if you can see a way to avoid taking a hit from the fire and still avoid stomp damage, do it.
~ When he goes into his pissed mode and starts firing walls of fireballs at you, start using your peripheral vision to find snowflakes to jump into. They do 1 damage each and will grant you enough invincibility frames to walk through the fire unscathed. Keep remembering to jump when needed, though, since there's no guarantee you'll find enough snowflakes to ensure you can avoid all stomp damage.
Looking at this, you may think that it's pointless to try it this way since I essentially did the first few seconds "perfectly" - let me assure you I was NOT paying much attention to those fireballs I miraculously dodged, but even if I had gotten hit by both I can be pretty certain that I would still have made the 20 second mark. Once you can abuse the snowflakes, you really don't have to worry as much about taking obscene damage as long as there are enough in reach.

I also realize that I should have shown how I set up my attempts at doing this, but I may as well just explain it.
When you're fighting form 1, simply take it down to near-critical hp however you wish, but leave 3-6 mana in reserve. When he's near death, kill yourself so you have full hp. When you ressurect, move a little bit away from him and use Explosion immediately. It will clear the screen, kill him and you'll be at full hp. Now just put the pendant on and move into the corner he's at.

How did you fly like that??

@kitty69543 After all the text boxes finish about Bunny going home with Chelsea, there's a brief window where you have control of your character before you're forced to walk off the screen. If you're in the air when they start walking, you'll float instead.

I am wondering the same thing. How did you get the english version?

@Manonthe3up Sorry that I kind of phased out on YouTube, so I'm sure this is far too late of a reply, but either go to romhacking(dot)net (translations section) and search for bunny must die, or google "non-directional translations."
