Enemies will usually only take one of Conker's chocolate squares, but some enemies, especially boss characters, can take more. Once you've completed the deal, you're zapped back to the start of your particular scenario, and you have to redo any steps you may have completed before your untimely demise. The reaper explains to Conker that squirrels have as many lives as they think they can get away with, and offers Conker a deal: Conker can rise from the grave in exchange for a squirrel tail, which are hidden throughout the game. Once dead, you're treated to a funny sequence showing Conker conversing with a pint-sized grim reaper who has a squeaky, girlish voice. When his chocolate is all gone, Conker dies. When Conker gets hurt, he'll lose chocolate. His life bar is composed of six chocolate squares that make up an entire bar.
Though these scenes were definitely amusing, it wasn't clear exactly how they tied in with the story of Conker, and Nintendo wouldn't reveal further details about the game's plot.Ĭonker runs on chocolate. The king becomes upset and orders his scientist to solve the problem of the broken table leg. A cutscene shows two weasels bringing the king a glass of milk, then it shows the glass falling from a table with one broken leg and spilling. The panther king appears to command an army of cartoon weasels. Mixed in with the cutscenes featuring Conker are flashback cutscenes featuring a panther king, who is sitting on the same throne that Conker recently claimed. It's here where the game begins, as Conker must make his way through various levels and solve plenty of problems in an attempt to collect as much cash as he can before he finally makes his way to bed. In the process, he ends up taking a wrong turn, and he eventually finds himself hungover, tired, and far from his home. He stops to vomit on the shoes of an evil looking turtle, then meanders home.
Conker drinks a few too many, and he stumbles out of the pub in a drunken haze.

From there, a series of flashbacks shows Conker brushing off a night with his attractive but ditsy squirrel lady-friend to spend some quality time tossing back brews with his mates at his favorite pub. In a voice-over, he explains that it was only yesterday that he came to be king, and apparently it was a terrible day-what he usually calls a bad fur day. We had a chance to sit down with the game and found that Conker is easily one of the most shocking and humorous games to ever appear on a console.Ĭonker is a crude but friendly squirrel with an English accent who opens the game as king of some unknown land. Starring a foul-mouthed and cranky English squirrel named Conker, the 3D platformer tells the story of one horrible day that begins after a long night of binge drinking. At a raunchy press event held in a broken down English pub on the wrong side of town in Las Vegas, Nintendo showed off an almost final version of what could be Rare's last N64 game, Conker's Bad Fur Day.
