** Pressing the left button 3 times, the start button once, the right button 15 times, the start button once, the left button 23 times, and the start button once during AttractMode reveals a cow.
** The fifth item in Bigfoot's Hotfoot is a cow.
** When the cow in Bigfoot's Cave has been collected, getting the Mystery Canyon as a Whirlpool Award will show a picture of the Spirit pulling a string on the legless cow. A loud "moo" is heard.
** The animation after shooting Disaster Drop has a cow show up as a FreezeFrameBonus.
** If a player collects the items from Bigfoot's Cave before completing the Boulder Garden, the next Boulder Garden award is "Secret of the Cow" (instead of "Secret of the River").

** The hardest goal in the game is completing the Vacation Planner. This requires the player to raise the River Class to Class VI, start "Wet Willie's" at some point during the game, collect all six Whirlpool Awards from the Boulder Garden, and lock three balls in No Way Out. The pinball machine will go dead, pause, sound a fire alarm, display a {{Blipvert}} barrage of random animation frames, then rewards a free game and the Vacation Jackpot, which ''starts'' at 200 million points. Unlike a WizardMode, however, there's nothing to do -- simply locking the balls is enough to collect the Vacation Jackpot.

* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: When "Man Overboard" activates, most experienced players choose not to save him and just watch him flailing away down the river until time runs out, upon which he presumably drowns. This is because they don't want to risk losing the ball for a relatively small reward, and there is no penalty for failing "Man Overboard."
