I'm sorry everyone is in my ears Mario Karting World The trailer dropped on yesterday's Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. Because when I saw this, I screamed:

Yes, if you somehow don't hear/not notice, Mario Kart world is absolutely crazy about which characters are allowed to drive cars this time. While the Super Smash Bros have gone a path, adding characters from the franchise posted by Nintendo in the roster imaginable, Mario Kart has added another way to the roster of Mario by digging deep into Mario’s legend and adding every stupid little guy you’ve ever seen, and adding another way to the roster of kart racing drivers. Until one of Mario Kart 8's cows, taking up Moo Moo Meadows.
They're really adding anyone lmao https://t.co/ucvrixxg57 pic.twitter.com/jjdofuopve

Moo Moo, or just the ox mentioned in the official lineup, is paying special attention from the community online. People are already attracting Fanart to celebrate this cute, silly, seemingly random version, which has until now largely included the most famous and most popular characters in the Mario series.
Foreseeable, they also made various memes:

The addition of cows also led to some… interesting guesses. For example, in a trailer, Mario consumes a burger. Will the cow eat burgers at some point in the game? Philosophically, what does this mean?
More importantly, does this mean we will see cows wearing various costumes like other characters? Can we compete as cows in Moo Moo Meadows? What do all the other cows think about this? Anyway, how does a cattle get a driver's license?
us Just started with Mario Kart World In a special Nintendo event, yes, we did play the ox. Cow is one of our favorite playable characters, and we’re excited to see more of the other weird little guys unlockable in the course, and the potentially stylish outfits we might end up seeing Cows wearing. Hopefully the beef doesn't have to eat the burger first.
