** Also, there's the ''ComicBook/SpiderMen'' series (2012 and 2017), in which Miles Morales meets Peter Parker from Earth-616 (before the ''ComicBook/{{Secret Wars|2015}}'' CrisisCrossover) and learns some classes about how to be Spider-Man. This plot and ''Spider-Verse'' were combined to make the 2018 CGI movie ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse''.

** Three of ''Manga/DigimonVTamer01'''s bonus chapters involve Taichi and Zero encountering characters from later Digimon works. Namely, Daisuke and V-Mon from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02''; Ryo Akiyama and Monodramon from [[Videogame/DigimonWonderswanSeries the Wonderswan series]]; and Takuya from ''Anime/DigimonFrontier''.

MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness is common when the two iterations have major differences between each other. See also CrisisCrossover, BatFamilyCrossover, TheVerse and TheMultiverse. Compare SpinoffSendoff, where a new iteration of a franchise is launched with a supporting appearance by someone from the immediately previous version. SisterTrope of AllianceOfAlternates, where the crossover happens in the same iteration of the franchise (but overlap between the two tropes is not unheard of). DreamMatchGame is a very specific variation found in {{Fighting Game}}s where (nearly) every playable character in the series up to that point [[TheBusCameBack will be brought back for a single installment]], [[CanonDiscontinuity usually ignoring continuity in the process]]. Should not be confused with IntercontinuityCrossover, in which two ''different'' franchises clash together.

* ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheCyberChase'' has the early-2000s version of Mystery Inc. meet virtual versions of their 1969 incarnations. Fred and Daphne comment on how their costumes have changed; Shaggy and Velma, who have changed less, not so much.

* "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14261834/1/Fractal-Chaos Fractal Chaos]]" is a ''RWBY'' fanfic revolves around a failed experiment causing members of Team RWBY and JN_R (plus Neo) to start swapping places with versions of themselves or their friends some other timelines. Some of these alternates are from Creator/Vendetta543's other ''RWBY'' fanfics, such as ''Fanfic/AnArcForEverySeason''.
** ''Fanfic/UltimateSonicFighters'' also did this (albeit with less obscure franchises): as a result of the [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Super Genesis Wave,]] dimensions from the video games, as well as two comic [[ComicBook/SonicTheComic books]], [[WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground three]] [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog DiC]] [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM cartoons]], [[Manga/SonicTheHedgehog1992 a manga]], [[Anime/SonicTheHedgehogTheMovie two]] [[Anime/SonicX anime]], and the [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 movies]] come together, heroes and villains alike.

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGoVsTeenTitans'' is also this due to being a crossover between ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' and ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' . [[spoiler:It also has Titans from various dimensions helping both teams in the climax with the most notable versions being from the WesternAnimation/DCAnimatedMovieUniverse, the ''ComicBook/TinyTitans'' comics and even ''[[ComicBook/TeenTitans The New Teen Titans]]'' comics which the 2003 show was based on.]]

* ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'': This film ended up being a crossover between every live-action movie iteration of Spider-Man to ever appear, where Peter Parker accidentally causes Doctor Strange to open up TheMultiverse, causing villains from the previous ''Spider-Man'' films to enter the MCU. These include from Creator/SamRaimi's ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'': Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Sandman; and from ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'': Lizard and Electro. [[spoiler:And then the Spider-Men from those movies themselves show up to allow for an AllianceOfAlternates!]] What's more, all of the original actors [[RoleReprise reprise their roles]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TurtlesForever'' is a textbook example, with the Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles from [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 the 2003 animated series]] meeting up with the Turtles from [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987 the 1987 animated series]]. The two versions of the Turtles exist in alternate dimensions and meet each other when messing with interdimensional travel. In the end, both versions meet the original Turtles from [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage the 1984 comic books]], who are presented as the prime Turtles. Erasing the existence of the 1984 Turtles would do the same to all the other versions. Also, a computer screen shows the Multiverse, which features the many dimensions populated by other versions of the Turtles like [[WesternAnimation/{{TMNT}} the 2007 CGI movie]], [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles the live-action]] [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIITheSecretOfTheOoze movies from]] [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesIII the '90s]], and even [[Anime/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesLegendOfTheSupermutants the bizarre two-episode anime]]. However, missing from the screen are some {{Old Shame}}s like [[Series/NinjaTurtlesTheNextMutation the live-action TV series]] and the rock musical.

** Classic Sonic and Modern Sonic once again team up in the sequel game ''VideoGame/SonicForces'', the [[VideoGame/SonicMania other part]] of the [[MilestoneCelebration 25th anniversary celebration]] of the franchise, in which the player can choose between three different styles, Classic Sonic style, Modern Sonic style and an [[PlayerCharacter Avatar]] style, a mode in which the player can create their own character. However, ''Forces'' retcons ''Generations'' by stating that Classic Sonic is not Sonic from the past, and is instead another Sonic from [[AlternateUniverse another dimension]] (presumably because the events of ''Generations'' created an AlternateTimeline that branched off from ''VideoGame/Sonic3AndKnuckles'', leading to ''Mania'' for Classic Sonic), [[FanDislikedExplanation something fans weren't pleased to learn]].

** Of all {{Crisis Crossover}}s DC Comics has had in its history, among the most fitted to this trope is ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'', especially when Franchise/{{Superman}} goes into the [[ComicBook/TheMultiversity Multiverse]] in the ''Superman Beyond'' tie-in and meets a lot of his [[AlternateSelf Alternate Selves]] from parallel universes, with a lot of known Supermen like the [[ComicBook/SupermanRedSon Red Son]], as well as new versions of him, like Overman (an ex-Nazi Superman) and President Calvin Ellis (basically UsefulNotes/BarackObama as the Son of Krypton). All of them work together to stop Darkseid and end the Crisis. It has a spiritual sequel in the ''ComicBook/SupermanRebirth'' storyline "Multiplicity", with Supermen from across the multiverse being kidnapped by a new enemy.

* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':

** In the [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS14E1TreehouseOfHorrorXIII thirteenth]] ''WesternAnimation/TreehouseOfHorror'' episode, Homer makes clones of himself during the segment "Send in the Clones". After the clones cause trouble, Homer attempts to abandon them and the hammock that created them, but the clones just use the hammock to create even more clones; one of the degraded clones looks like Homer from the early ''[[Series/TheTraceyUllmanShow Tracey Ullman Show]]'' shorts, who says "[[CatchPhrase Let's all go out for some frosty chocolate milkshakes!]]"

** Fanfic/UltimateSonicFighters also did this (albeit with less obscure franchises): as a result of the [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Super Genesis Wave,]] dimensions from the video games, as well as two comic [[ComicBook/SonicTheComic books]], [[WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground three]] [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog DiC]] [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM cartoons]], [[Manga/SonicTheHedgehog1992 a manga]], [[Anime/SonicTheHedgehogTheMovie two]] [[Anime/SonicX anime]], and the [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 movies]] come together, heroes and villains alike.

** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles''. While [[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1 the first game]] and ''[[VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2 2]]'' can be enjoyed as standalone adventures and the representatives from each on ''Smash'' (Shulk for the first game and Pyra/Mythra for ''2'') don't meet each other canonically in the series proper (they do get crossover DLC in ''2''), the big twist of ''2'' is that their respective worlds were split apart from each other and that their adventures are happening [[SimultaneousArcs simultaneously]]. Not only that, but ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'' drops all pretenses of this being a spoiler of any kind by explicitly being set in the future of both worlds and having characters from both meet each other, albeit not Shulk and Pyra/Mythra.

* The ''WesternAnimation/AlvinAndTheChipmunks'' episode spoofing ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' has the 1980s Chipmunks meeting their 1960s counterparts from ''WesternAnimation/TheAlvinShow''.

** ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan2012'' did its third season serve as this, having Peter interact with Noir, Spider-Ham, 2099, Spyder-Knight, Spider-Girl (in this case, a GenderFlip version of him named Petra Parker), and Miles Morales (who made his animated debut with this show). It even got a sequel in which the obscure Blood-Spider and Spider-Gwen (likewise making her animated debut here) got to join the fun.

** Fanfic/UltimateSonicFighters also did this (albeit with less obscure franchises): as a result of the [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics Super Genesis Wave,]] dimensions from the video games, as well as two comic [[ComicBook/SonicTheComic books]], [[WesternAnimation/SonicUnderground three]] [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog DiC]] [[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM cartoons]], [[Manga/SonicTheHedgehog1992 a manga]], [[Anime/SonicTheHedgehogOVA two]] [[Anime/SonicX anime]], and the [[Film/SonicTheHedgehog2020 movies]] come together, heroes and villains alike.

** ''Grand Order'' incorporates the greater Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} even outside the ''Fate'' subseries; one of the first "collaboration" events of the game was with ''LightNovel/TheGardenOfSinners''.

** Three of ''Manga/DigimonVTamer01'''s bonus chapters involve Taichi and Zero encountering characters from later Digimon works. Namely, Daisuke and V-mon from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'', Ryo Akiyama and Monodramon from [[Videogame/DigimonWonderswanSeries the Wonderswan series]] and Takuya from ''Anime/DigimonFrontier''.
** In the last two episodes of ''Anime/DigimonXrosWarsTheYoungHuntersWhoLeaptThroughTime'', the protagonists of the prior seasons of ''Digimon'' shows (Tai and Agumon from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'', Davis and Veemon from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02'', Takato and Guilmon from ''Anime/DigimonTamers'', Takuya from ''Anime/DigimonFrontier'', and Marcus and Agumon from ''Anime/DigimonDataSquad''/''Savers'') arrived to help the heroes against Quartzmon. In addition, Mimi, Palmon, Joe, Gomamon (all from ''Adventure''), and Rika and Renamon (''Tamers'') also appear in that set of episodes.

* David Brent, the [[PointyHairedBoss hopeless boss]] from the British version of ''[[Series/TheOfficeUK The Office]]'', made a couple of guest appearances on [[Series/TheOfficeUS the American version]].

* For ''Franchise/FireEmblem'', there were ''two'' attempts to make a crossover from all over the franchise in 2017. [[VideoGame/FireEmblemWarriors One]] was a ''[[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Musou]]''-[[HackAndSlash styled]] game featuring characters from [[VideoGame/FireEmblemShadowDragonAndTheBladeOfLight Arch]][[VideoGame/FireEmblemMysteryOfTheEmblem anea]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening Ylisse]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemFates Hoshido, and Nohr]] along with two girls from [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGaiden Valentia]] and [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Eli]][[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBlazingBlade be]] respectively and a few OriginalGeneration people. [[VideoGame/FireEmblemHeroes The other]] was a gacha that has a more complex variety of characters, not only adding units from the previously mentioned worlds, but also from other worlds like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar Jug]][[VideoGame/FireEmblemThracia776 dral]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones Magvel]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemPathOfRadiance Tell]][[VideoGame/FireEmblemRadiantDawn ius]], [[VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses Fódlan]], and even ''freaking [[VideoGame/TokyoMirageSessionsFE Tokyo]]''. This concept was revisited again in ''[[VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage Engage]]'' nearly six years later, and this time at least one character from each mainline game released up to this point take the form of spirits known as "Emblems" that inhabit rings or bracelets that fight alongside characters original to the game, while a vast majority appear as bond rings, with the added bonus that the "crossover" bit plays a major role in the game's plot.

* ''Fanfic/AllAssortedAnimorphsAUs'': "What if they were all from different [=AUs=] á la Into the Spider-Verse?" has one Animorph from each official alternate universe being transported to the "prime timeline". Cassie is from book canon, Jake is from #11. Marco is from #41, Rachel is from Megamorphs #3, Ax is from Megamorphs #4, and Tobias is from the TV show.

** ''VideoGame/DetectivePikachu'': Tim and Detective Pikachu briefly run into another Pikachu early on in the game. A line of dialogue implies it's Ash's Pikachu, specifically:
--->'''Detective Pikachu:''' "Tell your buddy to [[WaxingLyrical be the best]], [[DiegeticSoundtrackUsage like no one ever was]]."

* ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'': This film ended up being a crossover between every live-action movie iteration of Spider-Man to ever appear, where Peter Parker accidentally causes Doctor Strange to open up TheMultiverse, causing villains from the previous ''Spider-Man'' films to enter the MCU. These include from Creator/SamRaimi's ''Film/SpiderManTrilogy'': Green Goblin, Doctor Octopus, and Sandman; and from ''Film/TheAmazingSpiderManSeries'': Lizard and Electro. And the Spider-Men also came to allow for an AllianceOfAlternates! All this with RoleReprise from the original actors.

* The 2019 ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'' CrisisCrossover, ''Series/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths2019'', features cameos from many different versions of characters from throughout DC media, with some of them being [[AlternateSelf alternate versions]] of each other. These include the ''Series/{{Supergirl|2015}}'' Clark Kent meeting the ''Series/{{Smallville}}'' Clark Kent and later the Clark Kent from ''Film/SupermanReturns''. Meanwhile Barry Allen from Earth-1 (''Series/TheFlash2014'') meets his Earth-90 counterpart (''Series/TheFlash1990'') along with the version from the ''Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse''.

* If it's a ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}'' work, chances are ''VideoGame/PowerBomberman'' has represented it in some way, mainly through characters. It doesn't just limit itself to the main series of games either, as it also takes from the spin-offs, cancelled titles, the various manga, the two anime series (''Anime/BombermanBDamanBakugaiden'' and ''Anime/BombermanJetters''), and even promo art.

** ''VideoGame/SpiderManShatteredDimensions'', a game in which you can manage Spider-Men from different alternate realities, the [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse mainstream one]] (Peter Parker), [[ComicBook/SpiderManNoir Noir one]] (also Peter Parker), [[ComicBook/SpiderMan2099 Marvel 2099 one]] (Miguel O'Hara) and [[ComicBook/UltimateSpiderMan Ultimate one]] ([[RuleOfThree Peter Parker once again]]) to find a shattered cosmic MacGuffin and stop their respective villains from using the pieces to become immensely powerful.

* While many ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' games are adaptations of a single work or serve as WhatIf[=/=]ExpandedUniverse material, several others are more traditional {{Crisis Crossover}}s between the various timelines, often with an ExcusePlot thrown in. Examples include the first ''Gundam Battle Assault''[[note]]which featured a Story Mode where [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero Yuy]] faces off against various [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Universal Century]] characters along with Treize Khushrenada and Valder Farkill from the ''[[ExpandedUniverse G-UNIT/Last Outpost]]'' manga; the game ''Battle Assault'' was {{reformulated|Game}} from, ''Gundam: The Battle Master 2'', featured OriginalGeneration characters, whereas the first ''Battle Master'' lacked a story and ''[[VideoGame/GundamBattleAssault2 Battle Assault 2]]'' and ''Battle Assault 3'' opted for recreations of specific events for certain MS pilots[[/note]], the ''VideoGame/GundamVsSeries'' starting from ''Gundam vs Gundam'' and ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriorsGundam''.

** ''WesternAnimation/UltimateSpiderMan'' did its third season serve as this, having Peter interact with Noir, Spider-Ham, 2099, Spyder-Knight, Spider-Girl (in this case, a GenderFlip version of him named Petra Parker), and Miles Morales (who made his animated debut with this show). It even got a sequel in which the obscure Blood-Spider and Spider-Gwen (likewise making her animated debut here) got to join the fun.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'' has the "Spider Wars", which actually inspired the ''Spider-Verse'' comic book storyline. Here, Madame Web (and later the Beyonder) first recruited Spider-Man from the main universe of the series and later recruited various alternate versions of him, including [[http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Spider-Armor_MK_I Armored Spider-Man]] (a kind of "[[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]]" version of Peter Parker), Six-Armed Spider-Man (a mutated version of him that permanently has six arms, seen in comics and the same series but GoneHorriblyWrong), Spider-Man with ComicBook/DoctorOctopus' arms (predating ''ComicBook/SuperiorSpiderMan'' by decades), Spider-Man [[Creator/TobeyMaguire as]] [[Creator/AndrewGarfield an]] [[Creator/TomHolland actor]], and even the ComicBook/ScarletSpider (Ben Reilly as in ''ComicBook/TheCloneSaga''). This group is simply named the ''[[http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Spider-Men_(Multiverse) Spider-Men]]''.
