The Rare Cow
Think back to your childhood and how much you might have loved cows. Ever wonder why that happened? It could be because you love nature for what it is and how cows are important to our society. Or the development team over at Rare has put cows in all your childhood games and you have been taught to associate good memories with them.
That’s right ladies, gents, and everyone in between, you can see the first cow in Conker’s Pocket Tales. The lovely mammal goes on to appear in many other games made by Rare, crossing platforms from the Game Boy Color to the Game Boy Advance. Sometimes the cow would make a physical appearance in the games or just be a drawing on the walls. To find it in Conker’s Pocket Tales, you would need to get through Vulture Ville, and then head towards the town cemetery. Travel off the path and you’ll find a secret path that loops around the cemetery and to a sandy area with two cows.
While Banjo and Kazooie fans have had an easier time finding the cow, since all they have to do is make it to the fourth world and head over to the beach, Donkey Kong fans don’t get off so easy. In order to find the cow in that game you would have to have found the bonus barrel in Slip Slide Ride, which was also hidden. Once the the barrel had been located, players could find the cow behind a course of suspended ropes.
