A man trying to turn his red Donkey Kong Bananza cartridge into a yellow one ended up breaking his Switch 2. According to a report by Dexerto, the incident captured on TikTok shows the gamer, Gardner, expressing his frustration over the red cartridge design. He aimed to replicate the nostalgic yellow cartridges of older DK games through spray painting.
