Kosuke Yabuki, producer of Mario Kart World, confirmed that the game's popular Cow character eats burgers, though it's uncertain if they're beef. The Cow was inspired by a 'silly sketch,' leading to an influx of other characters, including a Penguin and Pokey. Yabuki noted that the positive public reaction to the Cow exceeded their expectations, sparking a surge of creative ideas for the game. The game promises new mechanics, such as stopping at roadside eateries, emphasizing character interaction.
The decision to include Cow was something that we considered in terms of if we added that, I think people would be really happy about it. And so we did.
The reaction to that by the public was much bigger than we possibly could have anticipated. So that was a wonderful surprise.
Because all of these characters came in such a rush as the designers were getting kind of carried away, it's actually a little hard for me to remember which specific character would've come immediately next in the sequence after Cow.
Honestly, I have this memory of approving the concept for Cow, and then maybe the next day I had 10 proposals for other characters on my desk.
