Cow has transformed from a background element in Mario Kart to a playable character in the Nintendo Switch 2's Mario Kart World. This change reflects the developers' new design philosophy that allows characters without traditional driving abilities, like Goomba and Pokey, to participate in the game. The decision stemmed from a brainstorming session that sparked a slew of new ideas and potential character additions, aiming to delight longtime fans of the franchise by giving formerly static characters like Cow a starring role.
Yabuki mentions that including Cow as a character was inspired by a brainstorming session and reflects a shift in character design philosophy, emphasizing creativity.
He notes that the old belief was characters needed hands and feet to drive, but now even characters like Goomba and Pokey are possible contenders.
