Real-World Farmer Weighs In On Mario Kart World Cow Accuracy

by

As a passionate Mario Kart World player, I can attest that everyone adores the cow character, but there were a few of us who took issue with its dirty rear end. Stepping up to express our sentiments, a group of Japanese players made a beeline to Nintendo’s headquarters in Kyoto to voice their opinions loud and clear.

In a post on X, one user commented in Japanese about a picture of a cow’s backside, originally shared by IGN. Other users responded, with some voicing their disapproval of the negative attention the cow is getting, but ultimately conceding that the cow’s rear does appear to be dirty.

In a post on X, Japanese rice farmer Renta expressed that what makes this game unique is its astonishingly realistic depiction of cow rear-ends, which are typically dirty. To maintain their cleanliness, farmers strive to keep both the cows in good health and their surroundings impeccably clean.

In the anticipated Mario Kart game for the Nintendo Switch 2, the world’s cow has emerged as a standout feature. Though some players express a desire for more expansive open worlds and track layouts, the shared experience of watching the cow’s rear become increasingly muddy during races has sparked widespread amusement online. It’s common to witness massive 24-player races where participants race only cows!

In the game Mario Kart 8, an extensive array of characters were playable, ranging from Animal Crossing’s villager to Baby Daisy. However, before Mario Kart World, a character like a cow had never been playable in any Mario Kart game. Furthermore, Mario Kart World has also introduced some unexpected visual design decisions, such as Toad driving a police car during free roam mode.
