Conker (series)

The Conker series is a Rare series starring Conker the Squirrel, who is a red squirrel and the series' titular character.

The series started out as family-friendly, with the release of the Game Boy Color title Conker's Pocket Tales in 1999. Since the release of Conker's Bad Fur Day in 2001, the Conker series was changed to be for mature audiences. In the 2010s, with the release of Project Spark's episodic content, Conker's Big Reunion, and the HoloLens tech demo, Young Conker, the series was slightly mellowed to be for teenage audiences.

The Conker series is commonly believed to be a spinoff of the Donkey Kong series because Conker first appeared in Diddy Kong Racing. However, a game starring Conker, Conker's Quest, was publicly unveiled at E3 1997 alongside Diddy Kong Racing. Later known as Twelve Tales: Conker 64, Conker's Quest would have been the first installment of the Conker series, but it was cancelled and converted into Conker's Bad Fur Day.
