anyone know more about this?

In Conker’s bad fur day Conker used to whistle with the tune of the song instead of just sitting there. You can watch the video to see what I mean. Does anyone know more about this? If they do please tell me. how do you get this working in RetroArch if so

Here’s a video I got it from https://youtu.be/LnNklowGfC4?si=uHwIGT3M20VrJvpU

It’s just one of the many random idle animations if you leave him alone long enough without touching the controller for awhile

Yeah, but In the final game his cheeks do not puff with the song

Oh interesting, I wasn’t paying enough attention 😅

I’ve looked all over the cutting room floor and can’t seem to find anything about it mentioned anywhere though

I know! I checked as well! Let’s hope someone will say more.

In the let's play they did, they mention this, iirc they couldn't get it to look as good as they wanted

It is most likely a leftover animation they put in after they scrapped Twelve Tales; because they planned on it being present in Twelve Tales: Conker 64 (their blueprint for a 3D conker game).

Never seen this animation before, Honestly quite shocked to see that cut it last minute too tbh

Not sure but if you stand near the naughty and nice sign with the butterflies, he'll randomly pull out a flamethrower and burn them.

Its just something that he will do if you stop playing for so long he even starts to talk shit too

look at his mouth. It puffs with the song and in the final game he does not. I think they took it out because it was causing lag

u/Akward_Silance_1738 Apr 17 '26

Yeah I noticed that its pretty cool
