Moo-ving Controversy: Mario Kart's Carnivorous Cow
In a refreshing break from tariff talks and Switch 2 pricing debates, Nintendo dropped some udderly controversial news this week. During a New York preview event, IGN confirmed that the newly playable Moo Moo Meadows Cow character can indeed eat burgers and steak in Mario Kart World - and yes, the internet has opinions.
From Background Bovine to Playable Powerhouse
The gaming community went wild when Nintendo announced their iconic track mascot would become a fully playable racer. What began as endless memes about the adorable cow quickly turned philosophical when fans noticed Mario chowing down on burgers in the trailer.

The Great Burgergate Mystery
At Nintendo's preview event, journalists discovered these controversial food items come from Yoshi's diner drive-thrus scattered across courses. The takeout bags contain various power-ups including burgers, steak kebabs, and donuts. And yes - our beloved cow happily consumes all of them.
Yes, Cow CAN eat steak in Mario Kart World.
The real conundrum? While other racers transform when eating these items, Cow shows no visible changes. This raises profound questions:
- Is our bovine friend a secret carnivore?
- Are these actually plant-based alternatives?
- Does burger consumption grant hidden abilities?
When pressed for comment, Nintendo maintained radio silence - leaving the gaming world to milk this controversy for all it's worth. One thing's certain: this grazing racer has given us plenty to chew on.
