The Moaning Cowgirl And Other Fun Sonic Adventure Facts

The Moaning Cowgirl And Other Fun Sonic Adventure Facts

Did you know the original Japanese release of Sonic Adventure included a massive mechanical cowgirl billboard that moaned when you approached it?

DidYouKnowGaming? knows, and give us a glimpse of the magnificent monstrosity in the latest in the third instalment of their Sonic video series. They don’t show off much of the board and omit the noise, but YouTuber VisualMemoryBlue has us covered.

International versions replaced the cowgirl with a generic sign with no moaning, which is sad. The world would be a better place if more signs moaned.

For the video impaired, here are some of the other fun facts explored in the latest DidYouKnowGaming? vid.
