During the session, Cow was seen enjoying a range of items, including the burger. While other racers transform when consuming these foods, Cow doesn\\'t seem to undergo any visible changes. This raises questions: Is Cow eating beef simply because she enjoys it? Is there a hidden power-up she gains from these meals that Nintendo hasn\\'t yet revealed? Or could these be plant-based alternatives like veggie burgers and Beyond meat kebabs?

Cow in Mario Kart World Eats Burgers, Steak

Author: Patrick Apr 15,2025

Amidst the usual buzz of news about tariffs and Nintendo Switch 2 pricing, we're taking a delightful detour into the whimsical world of Mario Kart. IGN had the chance to dive into Mario Kart World at a recent Nintendo event in New York, and they've brought back some juicy details about the new Moo Moo Meadows Cow character. Yes, you read that right—the Cow, previously just a charming background figure in a single Mario Kart track, is now a playable racer, and the internet is buzzing with excitement, memes, and fanart galore.

But here's where things get deliciously intriguing. In the Nintendo Direct 2 trailer, Mario was seen chowing down on a burger. Burgers, as we know, are typically made from beef. This sparked a curious question among fans: would Cow, whose kind might be the source of that beef, partake in such a meal? The internet was abuzz with this culinary conundrum.

At the event, IGN confirmed that Cow can indeed indulge in a variety of foods available at Yoshi's diner locations scattered across the courses. These diners operate like drive-thrus, where racers can grab a bag of take-out, much like picking up an item box. The menu is diverse, featuring burgers, steak kebabs, pizza, and donuts. And yes, Cow can eat them all, including the controversial burger and steak.
