New $35 Donkey Kong cushion also comes with what fans are calling a "banana hole", but I don't think people are going to use the 15-inch plush in the way Nintendo intends

Donkey Kong sat on a boardwalk, raising a single finger with his back to the camera.

My 2025 bingo card didn't include Donkey Kong (probably unintentionally) becoming Nintendo's premier sex icon, but that's what's happening thanks to a new 15-inch cushion that, for some reason, comes with an arm-sized hole.

Nintendo has revealed new merch for the innocent-looking, family-friendly platformer Donkey Kong Bananza. You can get fleece jumpers and t-shirts themed after everyone's favorite monke, but the collection's showstopper is easily the $35 "super soft and huggable" barrel plush with a suspiciously-placed hole.
