'''Conker''' is the protagonist of the ''{{wp|Conker (series)|Conker}}'' series of games developed by [[Rare]]. He is a friend of [[Diddy Kong]], and, like [[Banjo]], he made his debut appearance in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]''. Also like Banjo, he would later appear in a series of his own games. While currently portrayed by Rare as a vulgar, adult-oriented figure (as seen in the mature-rated ''{{wp|Conker's Bad Fur Day}}'' and {{wp|Conker: Live & Reloaded|its remake}}), Conker debuted as a cheery and playful character, as seen in his debut appearance and his first starring role in ''{{wp|Conker's Pocket Tales}}''.


In 2002, Rare was sold to {{wp|Microsoft}}, which acquired the rights to both the ''Conker'' and ''Banjo-Kazooie'' series. As a result, in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing DS]]'', Conker is replaced by [[Dixie Kong]]. Though he is absent, Conker's theme music is still retained in the selection screen theme song.
