During the event, IGN witnessed Cow indulging in various items, including the much-discussed 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 revealed yet? Or could these be veggie burgers and plant-based kebabs?

IGN reached out to Nintendo for clarification, but as of now, they haven\\'t responded. It\\'s likely they\\'re busy with the New York event, and not avoiding this delightfully odd question.

Cow in Mario Kart World Eats Burgers, Steak

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 absolutely thrilled. Memes and fanart are flooding social media, celebrating this adorable addition to the Mario Kart universe.

But here's where things get interesting. In the Nintendo Direct 2 trailer, we saw Mario 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, actually eat beef herself? It's a question that's both bizarre and intriguing, and fans were eager for an answer.

At the Nintendo preview event, IGN got the scoop. The food items seen in the trailer are available at Yoshi's diner locations throughout the game's courses. These diners operate like drive-thrus, where racers can grab a bag of take-out, similar to picking up an item box. The variety of food is impressive, including burgers, steak kebabs, pizza, and donuts. And yes, Cow can indeed eat them all.
