Due to their nature, most instances of these games double as a MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover featuring characters who would never interact with each other in canon but nevertheless belong to the same company.

Mascot Fighters, by their very nature, are targeted more towards fans of the base universes from where the characters originate moreso than traditional fighting game fans. For this reason, it isn't uncommon for many of these games to boast simplified controls and more casual gameplay compared to other titles within the genre in order to make them easy to pick up by fans who don't have much experience with fighting games or even video games in general.

For this reason, these games have simplified controls and more casual gameplay compared to other fighting games in order to make them easy to pick up by fans who don't have much experience with fighting games (or with video games in general), and often fall under the genre of PlatformFighter.
