Yes, Mario Kart World's Cow Can Eat Burgers and Steak - IGN

I feel like we've earned a reprieve today from the news chaos of tariffs and Nintendo Switch 2 pricing, so here's something fun for your Friday: IGN played Mario Kart World at a Nintendo event in New York this week, and confirmed that yes, the new Cow character can in fact eat burgers and steak...

The hell you doing Nintendo? Nobody there thought this maybe wasn’t a good idea?

Turkey burger.

 

[consoul]

That's Cow's origin story. Ate beef, got mad cow disease, became kart racer.

 

[Rentahamster]

Maybe it's a llama burger and an ostrich steak.

 

[Dacvak]

Preorder cancelled.

 

[Scrawnton]

Did you just assume that burger's species?

 

[Hookshot]

A cow from Moo Moo Meadows being playable is probably the best thing in the game so I don't care if we are back to feeding cows to cows, I survived the BSE (aka "Mad Cow Disease") scare the first time around.

 

[Codes 208]

they have to get the protein for milk production somehow

 

[Mownoc]

Cows fed on cows taste better.

 

[analog_future]

this whole Switch 2 launch just keeps getting more and more fucked up

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Koopas throw turtle shells

Are there people in the world who would actually care if a fictional video game cow can eat beef, etc.?

 

[Fermbiz]

PETA is going lose their shit with this one.

Probably, but I just think it’s goofy that they even got this far before some people were like, “Hey, that could look kind of weird.” Nintendo will probably side step it saying it’s veggie burgers etc. But it’s funny that they will probably have to address it one way or another.

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

Imagine thinking the only hamburgers you can get are beef

 

[RoadHazard]

Canni deez ballsa.

 

[Blitzkrieg!]

Imagine being so down bad you pretend to give a shit about this

Here you go for you and your Mario Kart non-beef burger and steaks.

Cows aren't carnivorous, that's necessarily a veggie burger.

They also don’t drive go karts, nor eat veggies burgers/steaks that I’m aware off

Slow day for "journalists" eh?

But then again nowadays every day seems like a slow day for them with the amount of junk articles.

It could be vegan burgers, and no problem.

Well if that cow drives a go karts, that means she is sentient and being sentient means (even if there are exception) that you refuse to eat your own species. So maybe that's a veggie burger for her, but then she should be disgusted that all the others eat cow meat...

Why am I thinking too hard over a colorful go kart game...

I don’t believe any of this was to be taken too seriously.

 

[ReBurn]

I've seen a real cow bite a real hamburger at the state fair. Sometimes these things do happen.

[Sgt.Asher]

Concentrated beef

Another unforgettable piece of journalism by IGN. Congrats for the scoop.

 

[Gamerguy84]

I have chickens and they'll eat chicken. They don't know.

Cows also don't race go karts

 

[Closer]

We had male cows on american animated movies. We sure can handle some cows eating burgers.

 

[TheUnicornGuy]

Beef²

 

[Krathoon]

I say, just leave it in the game. It is just a weird Nintendo thing.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Is not the first time

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

 

[Sooner]

Well that explains the $80 price tag.
