Pretty much the entire ''VideoGame/QBert'' cast returns in the movie, as a living {{deconstruction}} of the modern gaming industry: the success of the more modern, RatedMForMoney shooters led to Litwak's ''Q*Bert'' cabinet's lack of popularity, which eventually culminated in the plug of said cabinet being pulled. Now with his own game "[[DeadlyEuphemism unplugged]]", Q*Bert himself barely managed to evacuate his own game alongside his co-workers, with whom he now lives as a homeless hobo, struggling every day just for some food. At least, however, he and his former in-game "enemies" are [[TrueCompanions now more of a family]], and as such always stick together.

Full name King Bowser Koopa, the BigBad of the ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' franchise makes his fire-breathing debut in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon as one of the "bad guys" attending the weekly Bad-Anon meeting. Unlike other cameos, this one isn't an AdvertisedExtra and is, instead, a non-speaking background cameo appearance, which is rather ironic considering the importance of the franchise in question. This might have something to do with either the [[NeverLiveItDown infamy]] of the SuddenlyVoiced Bowser in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' or the fact that, unlike Coily below and Clyde, Bison, and Eggman above, Bowser isn't accompanied by his nemesis Mario. This last fact is because [[WordOfGod the writers didn't know how to use Mario in the movie]].

This is a tricky one to describe. Simply put, the so-called "Cyborg" is essentially Kano from the gory, M-rated, and not-at-all-Disney-like ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' franchise, whose appearance was fully authorized by the owners of the ''Mortal Kombat'' IP. However, in the movie, this Bad-Anon attendant is referred to as "Cyborg" for some reason. Most likely, this choice is supposed to avoid any close association between the Disney movie where Kano appears in and the latter's source material; going by this theory, we might say that "Cyborg" is actually a Disney-verse version of Kano. An authorized CaptainErsatz, if you will.

Copyright-wise, Kano's situation (see above) also applies to Zombie, better known as who he's [[http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/hotd.jpg obviously]] supposed to be: Cyril from ''VideoGame/HouseOfTheDead'', only balding and without the blood on his face. Sure, Disney [[VideoGame/SegaSuperstars could have simply referred to the character's source material as "Curien Mansion"]], but there you go.

Final Death has been disambiged


One of the most notable cameos in the movie, the eponymous protagonist from the series of the same name, ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'', makes his debut in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon. His role here is that of a much more famous game star than others, and much like "big name stars" in RealLife, here he uses his fame for the greater good by starring in [[PublicServiceAnnouncement PSAs]] about a vital rule within the context of the movie: essentially, when a character wanders outside his or her own game, [[TheMostDangerousVideoGame said character becomes mortal]], and as such any death is ''the'' FinalDeath. Given the exposition he provides, Sonic is a cameo given a prominent role indeed, much like Q*Bert (see above).
