For those few who don't know, Nintendo composer Kazumi Totaka hid a distinct tune in over a dozen of the games he's worked in. Not all of the tunes have been discovered yet, though.

In a similar fashion, good old Rareware featured a caricature of a cow (some are in plain sight and some are hidden) in several of their Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games. Not all cows have been discovered yet, but someone called Lerako documented the locations of all the games that feature the cow.

(He also documented the times RARE hid the word "Arse" in their games)

Here are some pics of the cow phenomenon:

DONKEY KONG COUNTRY GBC – SLIPSLIDE RIDE COW

CONKER'S POCKET TALES – VULTUREVILLE COW

MICKEY'S RACING ADVENTURE – REALLY RAPID RAPIDS COW

MICKEY'S SPEEDWAY USA GBC – SECRET TRACK! COW

PERFECT DARK – CARRINGTON INSTITUTE COW

BANJO-KAZOOIE: GRUNTY'S REVENGE – SPILLER'S HARBOR COW

SABRE WULF - MAYOR'S OFFICE COW

IT'S MR. PANTS – MAX'S MYSTICAL MUDDLE COW

Wild that Nintendo paid Rare for the rights to Cow in MK World. Maybe this means Conker will be upcoming DLC?
