History[]
Diddy Kong Racing[]
When Conker was introduced in Diddy Kong Racing, he had no gloves, a shirt that was blue in the front and yellow on the back, blue and yellow shoes, and a flat tail. He is one of the racers who must free Timber's Island from Wizpig's control.
Conker's Pocket Tales[]
Conker's Pocket Tales follows the story of Conker as he retrieves his birthday presents and rescues his girlfriend Berri after they were stolen, and she was kidnaped by the Evil Acorn. The game is played from a top-down perspective, with Conker the Squirrel exploring large environments in an attempt to find all his stolen presents.
Conker's Bad Fur Day[]
At the beginning of the game, Conker is sitting on the throne of the Panther King and starts telling the story of how he became king of all the land, which began the day before. Conker is spending time with his pals at the Cock N’ Plucker pub, and Using a public phone there, he leaves a message on Berri's answering machine telling her that he’ll be returning a bit late because he wanted to stay with his buddies longer before they leave for some sort of war.
However, after getting royally plastered at a drinking game, Conker decided to leave and drunkenly staggered away from the pub, aimlessly wandering in the night, before eventually passing out. He later woke up with a nasty hangover and was unable to do too much of anything until he met an alcoholic scarecrow named Birdy who showed Conker how to sober up, and gave him the context-sensitive ability.
After this, Conker began his journey home, but it wasn't long before the squirrel started to get increasingly sidetracked over many opportunities to earn money. Conker’s actions also began to have bad consequences when his presence in the area attracted the attention of the Panther King who desired to use Conker as a table-leg replacement so he wouldn’t spill his milk and sent his guards out to apprehend him (which they do if the player gets a game over). The situation started to get worse when Berri was kidnapped from her home and wound up working for mafia boss Don Weaso, who was also under the employ of the Panther King.
Eventually, Conker was hired by Don Weaso to work alongside Berri in a bank robbery. However, after entering the bank's vault, it was revealed that the heist was a setup to deliver Conker straight into the Panther King's clutches. Berri attempted to stick up for her boyfriend, only to be gunned down by Don Weaso under the king’s orders, Conker hardly got anytime to grieve until the situation took another sudden turn, when a Xenomorph-like creature named Heinrich bursts from the Panther King’s chest and the bank is launched into orbit by the king’s traitorous Professor.
Conker is then forced to fight Heinrich using a exoskeleton suit and was almost killed before the game suddenly locked up. Conker used this opportunity to blackmail a game programmer into helping him kill Heinrich. The programmer sent the pair to the Panther King’s throne room and after he booted up the game again, and Conker slices Heinrich’s head off with a katana.
Despite the squirrel’s victory, Berri was still dead, as Conker forgot to use the programmer to bring her back to life, and he couldn't return home since he was forced to become the new king, a job he didn't want to have. The newly crowned and miserable Conker ends his tale by saying that the old metaphor involving grass being greener was true and you really don't know what you have until it’s gone.
Conker's Big Reunion[]
Conker is back, he was naked, asleep in outdoors, Birdy finds him and tells him that he has to go onto reunion in the Cock and Plucker, since he didn't have money with him he went to find more and discovered that Tediz are still alive, Conker once again defeats them and gets their money, when he gets to the Cock and Plucker he finds out that Tediz are gonna destroy the pub with TNT he drinks some beer and urinates on the burning TNT and stops Tediz and goes to his reunion. However, it turns out that he's the only one who showed up, as all the other characters had their own reunion elsewhere, insisting (via letter) that he shouldn't bother finding them."
Personality[]
Conker is very complex, and he was very different when he debuted. As a young squirrel, Conker was told by his parents never to drink alcohol, be greedy or swear. He also isn't very bright at times, but he's smart and intelligent. He is very good at helping out friends like Mrs. Queen Bee and Franky the Pitchfork with their problems. He is also very greedy by collecting cash and is very murderous at times. He does have a caring side to him and he is noted to love his girlfriend, Berri and he is very devastated after she was killed by Don Weaso. Through this, he learned the hard way about not knowing what he really has until it was already too late; while he has all the fortune and power in the world, he longs to be with her again and knows that it may never happen.
