Rapper Doja Cat made waves this Halloween with her unique and eye-catching costume inspired by the character Sunflower from the Nintendo 64 game Conker's Bad Fur Day. The costume, which she debuted on Instagram, is a remarkably faithful recreation of the provocative flower character from the cult classic game.
Doja Cat's costume features:
- A large sunflower head
- Exaggerated leafy hands
- A revealing yellow outfit mimicking the character's design
- Polygonal bees hovering around her, adding to the video game aesthetic
The costume has garnered significant attention, not only for its bold design but also for bringing renewed focus to the often-overlooked Conker franchise. With Doja Cat's 24 million Instagram followers, this costume has put Conker's Bad Fur Day in front of a massive audience, potentially introducing the game to a new generation of fans.
This isn't the first time Doja Cat has drawn inspiration from video games for her Halloween costumes. In a previous year, she dressed up as an Animal Crossing villager, complete with a bug-catching net.
The choice of this particular character from Conker's Bad Fur Day is noteworthy, as the game is known for its mature content and raunchy humor, which contrasts sharply with its cute, cartoon-like visuals. This juxtaposition is part of what made the game a cult classic, despite its initial commercial struggles upon release in 2001.
Doja Cat's costume has reignited discussions about Conker's Bad Fur Day and its place in gaming history. Some fans are using this moment to call for the game's inclusion in Nintendo's online services or for a new entry in the series, highlighting the enduring interest in this unconventional platformer.
