Template:Infobox Conker's Bad Fur Day is a created by Rare, Ltd. for the Nintendo 64.

Production

Conker's Bad Fur Day, originally known as Conker's Quest and later Twelve Tails: Conker 64 was to be a game similar to Conker's Pocket Tales, a overly cutesy game geared towards younger gamers. It was only after Rare realised that the game would probably be ridiculed and ignored like Conker's Pocket Tales that Rare decided to heavily revamp the game, giving it an extremely large amount of adult themes.

Story

Open cutscene of the game shows Conker, seated on a large, golden throne drinking a glass of milk. Inside Conker's throne room are several bizzare creatures; it is only after introductions are done that Conker tells his story.

After a night of heavy drinkung, Conker, extremely drunk, ends-up wandering away into the night in the direction opposite of his house. Passing out, Conker wakes up later in a strange land, where he ends-up intageled in a war between the Squirrel High Command and the Tediz, led by the evil Panther King.

The levels of Conker's Bad Fur Day are as follows:

  • Hungover: Waking up in a large feild, Conker finds himself dazed and confused and must deal with a scarecrow named Birdy and find his away past a annoying Gargoyle.
  • Windy: The overworld of the game, Windy is named after the giant windmill located in the center of the area.
  • Barn Boys: Taking place in a large barn and the surrounding area, the boss of this area is a giant, missile-weilding robot named the Haybot.
  • Bats Tower: Conker has to navigate his way through a gigantic safe filled with creatures such as living cogs and Fire Imps. The boss of this area is the Boiler.
  • Uga Buga: A level mostly taking place in a prehistoric world filled with such things as cavemen and dinosaurs. The boss of this area is a giant, egotistical caveman named Buga the Knut.
  • Spooky: A level consisting mostly of Conker, transformed into a bat by his vampire ancestor, Count Batula, fetching a feeding villagers to Count Batula. After Batula is killed, Conker must fight his way out of Batula's mansion using a shotgun.
  • It's War: Conker, along with his ally, Private Rodent, must fight they're way out of a Tediz base. The boss of this level is the Experiment/Little Girl.
  • Heist: The final level of the game, Conker and Berri find themselves participating in a robbery of the First Feral Bank for the mob boss Don Weaso. The boss of this area is a giant, alien monster named Heinrich.

Ports

A port of Conker's Bad Fur Day, called Conker: Live & Reloaded, was made for the XBox and XBox 360. Conker: Live & Reloaded was met with much critism, due to being extremely censored and "untrue" to the original.

Controversy

Nintendo, fearing that Conker's Bad Fur Day would cause extreme controversy had the game's box given an abnormally large warning. Also of note, Nintendo refuses to acknowledge Conker's Bad Fur Day, no mention of Conker's Bad Fur Day ever graced the pages Nintendo Power magazine; Conker's Bad Fur Day and Conker's Pocket Tales are also completely absent from Nintendo's official website, despite being found exclusively on Nintendo consoles.
