- Diddy Kong Racing for the Nintendo 64 is unusual in that it crossed Donkey Kong Country with two games still in development when it was released: Banjo-Kazooie and Conker's Twelve Tales (which later became Conker's Bad Fur Day). Banjo and Conker were removed from the Nintendo DS version, obviously due to Rare and Nintendo parting ways. They were replaced by Tiny Kong and Dixie Kong.

- While we're at it, the first official mod for Skyrim, after the long-awaited HD Texture Pack... was a collaborative effort between Valve and Bethesda, showing just where that adorable little Space Core wound up.
- And one of the fans wrote a mod that adds a crashed SSV Normandy from Mass Effect.
- The Conan Hyborian Age mod basically uses the Conan the Barbarian setting as a distant past of the Tamriel setting, with a few alterations to the former in order to fit the Elder Scrolls lore (like Crom being renamed "Shor"). The dungeon serving as the mod's core, the Hyborian Mound, is itself a combination of the mound in which Conan finds his sword and Thulsa Doom's lair.
- The Relics of Hyrule mod adds many different weapons, armor, enemies, lore and location inspired by the Legend of Zelda series, into the land of Skyrim and Solstheim. It's main premise is that Skyrim rose from the ashes of the once mythical kingdom after the Dark Army swept through, hence why its relics are scattered about for the player to find and use.
- The Nintendo Switch release of Skyrim allows you to find items from The Legend of Zelda series, such as Link's Tunic from Breath of The Wild, the Master Sword, and the Hylian Shield.
- Final Fantasy XIV engages in Dualvertisement at times, with events featuring crossovers with other games such as Dragon Quest and other Final Fantasy games.

- Forza Motorsport 6 features the Chryslus Rocket 69 from Fallout 4 as DLC.
- The finale of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 has the Ghosts call in an air strike, and in H.A.W.X., you get to play the mission from the jet fighters' point of view. A similar crossover occurs between Ghost Recon: Future Soldier and HAWX 2.
- Granblue Fantasy is not only a Fantasy Kitchen Sink within its own universe, but it's also so in a meta sense, as it has been the host of several events meant to join the universes of different copyrights with itself. At the time of this writing it has crossed over with Street Fighter, THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls, Slayers, the Tales Series, Sakura Wars, Samurai Shodown, Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu, Cardcaptor Sakura, Attack on Titan, Love Live! and Persona 5.
- Shadowverse from the same company has started to make crossovers with various franchises allowing you to play as characters from those. As of writing it's limited to Fate/stay night and Street Fighter, so it's very possible to have an epic battle where Ryu faces Saber ... using a children's card game.
- Half-Life and Portal were originally different universes altogether. (GLaDOS vaguely alludes to the events of Half-Life once in passing, but that was just an easter egg.) But then! In Portal 2 you can find the drydock for a ship called the Borealis, and Half-Life 2: Episode 2 ends with Gordon Freeman about to set off to find it.
- The shared universe is not only an allusion in the first game - in several rooms the player can find projectors with slides explaining explicitly that Black Mesa is a (hated!) competitor of Aperture Science.
- Heroes of the Storm is a MOBA which crosses over Blizzard Entertainment's magnum opus games, the newest one, and some of their classics into one big fun brawl.

- The reverse also happened with Groove Coaster, Taiko, and jubeat, which received the maimai original song Garakuta Doll Play in a similar event to the above three songs.
- And then there's Karma by Bump of Chicken, from Namco's Tales of the Abyss. Although strangely, it was listed under Anime and used a custom-made PV instead of the game's opening cinematic.
- maimai PiNK added Gera Gera Po no Uta, the theme song from the anime and game of Yo-kai Watch.
- On the other end of the scale, maimai likes to appear in Phantasy Star Online 2 on occasions, allowing players to purchase replicas of the machine that also function as a Jukebox, as well as Music Discs for some of the game's original tracks. Appropriately, Quna's Our Fighting was added to maimai ORANGE in an update.
- Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, a Massive Multiplayer Crossover of the two biggest mascots in video games and their ensemble competing in the Olympic Games.
- Even the venerable Mario Kart series does this... although most of the characters are Marioverse stalwarts, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are their Donkey Kong Country incarnations. Being co-developed by Namco, the arcade games go further than the home console versions and include characters from Pac-Man, Taiko no Tatsujin and, oddly enough, Tamagotchi.
- GP and GP 2 feature Diamond City from WarioWare as the location of a few playable tracks. While Wario himself does have ties to Marioverse, this is one of the few times something from the WarioWare series made an appearance in a Mario game.
- Mario Kart 8 includes characters, karts, and stages from The Legend of Zelda, Excitebike, F-Zero, and Animal Crossing in its DLC. The Updated Re-release Mario Kart 8 Deluxe adds the Inklings from Splatoon and a battle stage based on the first game's Urchin Underpass stage as well.

- Owen and Kate from Master of the Monster Lair also appear in My World, My Way.
- Mighty No. 9, Azure Striker Gunvolt, and Gal*Gun: Double Peace's respective protagonists were brought together in Inti Create's crossover game, Mighty Gunvolt (or Gal*Gunvolt if you live in Japan and have a PlayStation system), which was a simple Mega Man-styled action platformer. A later sequel, Mighty Gunvolt Burst also brought these characters together again while featuring a Burst combo system and the ability to customize each heroes' abilities and weapons.
- Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe
- Mortal Kombat 9 features Freddy Krueger, as well as Kratos in the PlayStation 3 version. Mortal Kombat X lacks Freddy, but ups the ante by including Jason Voorhees, a Predator, Leatherface, and a Xenomorph.
- M.U.G.E.N is technically the ultimate crossover game, as, for example, you can fight a Touhou character with a Mortal Kombat character. That's just a basic example, as well!
- Namco High is a Dating Sim that stars characters from Galaga, Klonoa, Rolling Thunder, Homestuck and more. In a high school setting...
- In addition to some already present in the KOF series, NeoGeo Battle Coliseum also added characters from other SNK titles that the KOF series didn't add, as well as some ADK titles (due to SNK Playmore's purchase of ADK after it filed for bankruptcy).
- Nexus Clash isn't this trope per se, but the cyclical nature of its universe and the willingness of Nexal souls to adopt new identities that suit them mean that it's cluttered with people who identify as all sorts of fictional and mythical figures. The magic of the Nexus works as a Literal Metaphor to make these people as much like what they identify with as possible.
- NiGHTS is featured in both of the Sonic Adventure games, and while he bears no real significance to the plot, he is a part of a level in each, moreso in Sonic Adventure.
- NiGHTS and other NiGHTS into Dreams… characters also make an appearance in the the Deadly Six edition of Sonic Lost World. DLC for the game also includes both a Yoshi's Island and Zelda Zone.

- Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, obviously combining Professor Layton and Ace Attorney.
- Putt-Putt and Fatty Bear's Activity Pack.
- Puyo Puyo and Tetris, two popular Falling Blocks games come together for Puyo Puyo Tetris.
- This is the whole premise of Rakenzarn Tales. The world of Rakenzarn is home to every fictional character. We probably won't see them all.
- Its sister series, Rakenzarn Frontier Story, is this as well with the added premise of Alternate Universe. It's possible this is an even BIGGER crossover than Rakenzarn Tales since we'll be seeing different versions of characters. This includes two versions of Mario: the Mario we all know and love... and the Mario from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!.
- The Rival Schools games have had a few crossovers with Capcom's more popular fighting game series Street Fighter; the most obvious was Sakura Kasugano, Ryu's Hero-Worshipper, being a playable character in the console versions of the game. There is also a character known as Ran Hibiki, whose name is almost exactly the same as that of Dan Hibiki. Just what her relationship to him is undetermined, assuming there is a relationship at all and it is not simply an homage.
- Ran's classmate, the unnamed Chairperson, also happens to study Dan's self-invented martial art, Saikyo-ryu, with predictable results.
- Hinata also claims to be a student of "Masters-ryu Karate" in Nekketsu Seishun Nikki 2, which explains why some of her special moves have the same flame effect as Ken's Dragon Punch in Super Street Fighter II.
- Also in Street Fighter, Cody, Guy, Rolento, and Sodom from Final Fight appear as playable characters in the Alpha series. The crossover between the two also carried over into the cartoon, which featured a retelling of Final Fight's storyline while adding Ryu and Ken.
- The Sega Superstars series subverts this at first, as it is essentially a collection of games based on Sega properties, but the second game, Superstars Tennis has Sega characters all play tennis together, playing the trope straight. Then there was a third racing game, which was a lot better than expected.
- Before that we had, Fighters Megamix, which included most of Sega's 3D characters in a fighting game.
- The adventure game Sherlock Holmes: Nemesis features Holmes matching wits with Gentleman Thief Arsene Lupin.
- There are stories and videogames which also cross him over with the Cthulhu Mythos.

- Another crossover event with Drakengard 3 featured Zero, One, Accord and Mikhail in human and dragon form, as well as some weapons (including weapons from the first 2 Drakengard games) and enemies from that franchise like the Intoners turned into Nightmares. The event's revival in June 2019 later added Two, Three, Four and Five.
- The third Yoko Taro work to get a crossover event is the original NieR (specifically the Replicant version), with both versions of Brother Nier, Kaine, a human Emil and Devola and Popola as a single character being playable.

- The Soul Series is famous for this. Guest characters have included Link, Spawn, Heihachi, Lloyd Irving, Kratos, Yoda and Darth Vader, and Ezio Auditore da Firenze.

SMRPG features a Superboss utilizing the boss, victory, and Prelude themes from Final Fantasy IV, Hoops features a Ninja, a White Mage, a Black Mage, a Moogle, and a Cactuar as unlockable characters, and roughly half the roster of FS is made up of Dragon Quest characters (with some Final Fantasy characters appearing in previous Japan-only installments).
- Super Robot Wars is a Massive Multiplayer Crossover of various mecha shows, games, and other media by Banpresto (later a subsidiary of Bandai Namco Entertainment) until the same company also gave us Another Century's Episode. Said developers also made Namco × Capcom and Project × Zone.
- Super Smash Bros. is a Mascot Fighter with Nintendo's flagship franchises duking it out.
- While the roster of Nintendo characters was small in the original game, it increased considerably in Super Smash Bros. Melee, which not only added more characters to the existing universes but also went as far as introducing characters from franchises that were relatively obscure back then, such as the Ice Climbers, Marth and Roy, and Mr. Game & Watch.
- Starting with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it's also crossed-over with third-party characters Solid Snake and Sonic the Hedgehog. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U extends it with Pac-Man, Mega Man, Ryu (and later, Ken), Cloud Strife (and later, Sephiroth), and Bayonetta. As of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Simon and Richter Belmont, Joker, the Heroes of Dragon Quest * , Banjo & Kazooie, Terry Bogard, Steve, Kazuya Mishima, and Sora have all joined as well.
- Characters from other series are also represented in the later games through Mii Fighter costume DLC, including Virtua Fighter and Undertale. Ultimate also features third party Assist Trophy characters who come from series not represented by playable characters like Bomberman, Shovel Knight, and Rathalos (this one also being one of the bosses in the Classic and Adventure modes), as well as characters like Shantae and Rayman making cameos in Spirits mode.

- Starlink: Battle for Atlas features Star Fox characters in a original storyline in the Switch version.
- Namco's Tales of the World, starting with Nakiri Dungeon 3, and including the Radiant Mythology spin-offs, take characters from all the Tales of... titles, which otherwise only exist as spiritual sequels.
- Terraria:

- The 1.3.4 update was one big crossover with Dungeon Defenders 2, complete with a tower-defense-style invasion event featuring Etherian enemies and bosses, and piles of weapons and armor as rewards. Dungeon Defenders 2, in turn, received its own Terraria-themed crossover update.
- And there's another for the 1.4.3, this time it was a massive crossover update with Don't Starve Together. On Terraria's end, it received the Deerclops, as well as Chester and a whole lot of new items. There was even a secret seed that allows the world made with it to mimic Don't Starve Together's darkness and hunger mechanics. And for Don't Starve, it received the Eye of Cthulhu (which is known as the Eye of Terror), an eyeball pet, and some additional items. Fittingly, due to the selling points of these updates- it was known as the Eye for an Eye update.
- Under Night In-Birth featured two Guest Fighters in the game's "Ex: Late" update: Eltnum, implied to be Sion Eltnum Altasia from Melty Blood; and Akatsuki, the protagonist of Akatsuki Blitzkampf.
- Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure is based on the real-life Universal Studios theme parks, and just like them, features attractions based on a variety of famous movies, including Back to the Future, Jaws, Jurassic Park, and a couple others. Woody Woodpecker acts as the game's guide and makes recurring appearances throughout the game to explain each ride.
- Unreal Championship 2: The Liandri Conflict featured Raiden from Mortal Kombat and Shao Kahn as an optional announcer. It helps that it was the first Unreal game being published by Midway Games.

- A small one in the With Friends line between Stampede Run and Words With Friends; you can pick up letter tiles from Words as bonuses in Stampede Run. Get enough to spell out a word and you earn extra gems and XP.
- While it makes sense since they are a part of the same cosmology, most of Bioware and Obsidian's D&D-based games have subtle crossovers. Most notably, Baldur's Gate II features artifacts from some of the characters of Planescape: Torment, and one of said characters is also mentioned by an NPC in Neverwinter Nights 2.
- Not surprising. The collusion started with Neverwinter Nights, but reached its height with Knights of the Old Republic. The first game is "Baldur's Gate with lightsabers." The second is "Planescape: Torment with lightsabers"
- Perhaps less crossover than Continuity Cameo, but the fates of the characters from the TV show of Dungeons & Dragons is on a wall in Baldur's Gate II.
- Rage (2011) has Space Marine and Vault Boy bobbleheads.
- RoboCop Versus The Terminator is about RoboCop fighting against Skynet. There was also a comic.
- Iron Man and X-O Manowar in Heavy Metal is a crossover between Iron Man and X-O Manowar. There was also a comic.
- Senran NinNinNinja Taisen Neptune: Shojo-Tachi no Kyoen is a crossover between Senran Kagura, Neptunia, and it even features a gender-swapped version of Goh from Shinobido as a special guest.
