—Nyan Cat Collection

Mexican Nyan Cat, aka Mexinyan aka Celebración Nyan Cat aka Taco Cat, is a Nyan Cat spoof It was created by YouTuber "RigelOD" aka "RigelWolf" on Newgrounds.

Celebración Nyan Cat flies proudly in honor of Cinco de Mayo! This national holiday is celebrated with festivities in remembrance of deep cultural history and rich Mexican traditions.

Physical Appearance

The cat is the same Russian Blue Cat, but has a taco for a body, has a mustache, wears a grey Mexican Corn Chip sombrero with a red, white and green stripe, and has a three-color rainbow streak trail of Green, White and Red, which are Mexican flag colors. The sombrero is similar to the one Fiesta Spider wears.

The cat is also flying through a Mexican desert, full of cacti and a large yellow sun in the top right corner. The sky is also a sunset color.

The song the cat flies to is "El Mariachi Loco", a Mexican song, but it is sped up and higher in pitch.

Sadly, the original video was taken down due to YouTube forcing him to close his account due to "violations", but the original version can still be found on DeviantArt under his account "RigelWolt".

Another version exists that was made by YouTuber "MrCrackersncheese", where the El Mariachi Loco music is the original speed and is higher in quality.

Chris Torres soon saw this nyan cat spoof and featured it on nyan.cat, using the original fast paced El Mariachi Loco song, but making an entirely new sprite:

The newer version of the sprite featured a smaller and much more detailed 8-bit taco, the hat is now brown instead of grey and has a wavy pattern instead of stripes, the mustache is smaller, and the tail and feet are animated to be the same as most other nyans on the website.

The rainbow trail was also altered, being the same three colored rainbow with Green, White and Red, but is darker in color.

The page's title says "NON-STOP MEXINYAN!" and the three options below highlight in pink.

The page's animated picture saves as "mexinyan.gif" and the preview icon on the "Pick a Flavor" bar saves under "mexinyan.gif".
