In a delightful diversion from the usual tech and gaming news, IGN recently attended a Nintendo event in New York and shared some fun insights about the newly announced Mario Kart World. One of the most intriguing aspects of this game is the introduction of the Moo Moo Meadows Cow as a playable character, sparking a wave of excitement and creativity across the internet with memes and fanart.

The buzz around Cow intensified following the Nintendo Direct 2 trailer, where Mario was seen indulging in a burger. This led fans to ponder a rather peculiar question: Would Cow, whose species might be considered a source of beef, eat beef herself? The curiosity was palpable, and the answer was revealed at the event.

At Yoshi's diner locations within Mario Kart World, racers can grab various food items, including burgers, steak kebabs, pizza, and donuts, much like picking up items from a drive-thru. And yes, Cow can indeed consume all these foods. IGN confirmed this with a tweet showcasing Cow eating steak, dispelling any doubts about her dietary habits.

Interestingly, while other characters undergo costume changes after consuming these items, Cow does not appear to be affected in the same way. This has led to speculation about whether Cow enjoys these foods purely for taste, or if there's a hidden power-up yet to be revealed by Nintendo. Could these be vegetarian or plant-based alternatives? The mystery adds an extra layer of fun to the game.

IGN reached out to Nintendo for clarification but has not yet received a response, likely due to the busy schedule at the New York event. In the meantime, fans can enjoy IGN's preview of Mario Kart World, which features an appearance by the beloved Cow character.
