Cowboy Jed: Difference between revisions

Jed is constantly found at "the Mario Kart Emporium," apparently a sort of [[kart]] rental or sales store; the commercials themselves are intended as parodies of those for car dealerships.<ref>[http://www.nintendowiifanboy.com/2008/04/22/mario-kart-ditches-wii-would-like-to-play-for-cowboy-jed/ Nintendo Wii Fanboy] (Accessed on 5-14-08)</ref> He always introduces himself with "Yee-haw! Howdy! It's me, Cowboy Jed! Come on down to the Mario Kart Emporium!" before moving on to promoting the game. In one commercial, he simply describes gameplay, using his son '''Jed Junior''' to prove its enjoyability. In another, he talks of the game's multi-player modes, showing a love of footage. He demonstrates karts in a third ([http://www.mariokart.com online]-only), telling status ailments along the way. [[Nintendo]] themselves have released some unused clips for the commercial, perhaps as another way to advertise the game; in these unreleased commercials, Jed Junior would have made continued appearances, and Cowboy Jed himself would be portrayed as more of a cowboy or farmer.<ref>[http://www.4colorrebellion.com/archives/2008/05/06/yee-haw-mario-karts-cowboy-jed-is-moseyin-to-your-wild-wild-web/ 4 Color Rebellion] (Accessed 5-14-08)</ref>
