The problem was over something more serious than bananas.
An actor who dressed up as Donkey Kong for a Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D event is now suing Nintendo for the stress it caused him.
The event, held at the L.A. Zoo was during a typical Southern Californian hot day, but provisions were not in place for the actor, Parker Mills, to stay cool. According to the Los Angeles Times, Parker was not provided an ice pack, and was denied breaks. This treatment may have had long term effects on his heart. Parker's attorney says he suffered "aortic dissection" which is a "tearing of aortic walls." He had to have surgery to implant a permanent heart defibrillator.
So far no representatives of Nintendo have commented on the lawsuit.
