Nintendo was sued by Universal Studios about the use of the name Donkey Kong. Universal Studios lost because they'd recently won a case proving that Donkey Kong was a public domain and couldn't be owned. They sued Nintendo after they saw how quickly the game was growing, and were punished quite harshly for it by the judge.
Nintendo, as thanks to the lawyer who helped them win the case (many seniors in the company were considering bowing out of the American market as soon as a company as large as Universal Studios threatened legal action), bought him a yacht and named one of their future characters after him (Kirby).

Ok I knew about all that expect the Kirby part, NEAT!

Haha, glad I managed to include at least one new piece of information for you. :D
I actually really like this thread idea though. Here's another little bit of trivia, though maybe a bit more well-known (?):
In Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Junior Troopa from the first Paper Mario game makes a cameo of sorts. After the events on the express train, the player receives a letter from Zip Toad. In the background of said letter, you're able to see Junior Troopa flying around.

Personally, I loved this guy, so I was always kind of sad to see him not make a real return after the first Paper Mario game.
