7	* Name any RacingGame with licensed cars and/or bikes, and it's always this trope aside from one-make racing games such as ''VideoGame/OutRun 2''. Notable ones including ''VideoGame/TestDrive'', ''VideoGame/NeedForSpeed'', ''VideoGame/GranTurismo'', ''VideoGame/ColinMcRaeRally and VideoGame/DiRT'', ''VideoGame/ProjectGothamRacing'', ''VideoGame/{{Asphalt}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Forza}}'', ''VideoGame/GRiD'', ''VideoGame/ProjectCARS'', and so on. And that's only counting RealLife manufacturer brands!
8	* ''VideoGame/DisneyInfinity'' is a video game with a 'toybox' mode that allows player to mix and match characters from Disney and Pixar movies. ''Infinity 2.0'' adds ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'' characters and ''Infinity 3.0'' adds ''Franchise/StarWars'' characters.
9	* ''VideoGame/LEGODimensions'' does the same as ''Disney Infinity'', but with LEGO franchises and minifigures and non-LEGO properties, including Franchise/TheDCU, ''Film/TheLordOfTheRings'', ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', ''Franchise/JurassicPark'', ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'', ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'', ''VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}'', ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', ''Franchise/HarryPotter'', ''Film/MissionImpossible'', ''Series/TheATeam'', ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', and even ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial'' and ''VideoGame/LegoCityUndercover''.
10	* ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'' was the original crossover fighter, taking characters from several Creator/{{SNK}} series including ''VideoGame/FatalFury'', ''VideoGame/ArtOfFighting'', ''VideoGame/PsychoSoldier'' and ''VideoGame/IkariWarriors''.
11	** ''VideoGame/NeoGeoBattleColiseum'' is an extension of the above, including also characters from ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'', ''VideoGame/TheLastBlade'', ''VideoGame/WorldHeroes'', ''VideoGame/AggressorsOfDarkKombat'', and even ''VideoGame/MetalSlug''.
12	** ''The King Of Fighters XI'' also threw in ''VideoGame/BurikiOne'' and the ''VideoGame/FuunSeries'' in the list of games represented in the series.
13	** ''VideoGame/SNKGalsFighters'' is similar to ''KOF'' in that it has characters from SNK fighting games duking it out, the only real difference being that the roster is entirely female. It has a spiritual successor in ''VideoGame/SNKHeroinesTagTeamFrenzy''. Both rosters mainly have characters from ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'', but the latter has [[VideoGame/FightingEXLayer Skullomania]] and [[VideoGame/MillionArthurArcanaBlood Thief Arthur]] as GuestFighter DLC Characters, bringing this a bit further.
14	* A staple of store demo displays in the later 90s, Sega produced ''VideoGame/FightersMegamix'', a crossover of ''VideoGame/VirtuaFighter'', ''VideoGame/FightingVipers'', and a couple one-off games such as ''VideoGame/VirtuaCop'', ''VideoGame/RentAHero'', ''VideoGame/SonicTheFighters'', and even ''VideoGame/DaytonaUSA''.
15	* ''[[VideoGame/CapcomVs Capcom's "VS" series]]'':
16	** The ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom'' games, (''VideoGame/XMenVsStreetFighter'', ''VideoGame/MarvelSuperHeroesVsStreetFighter'', ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomClashOfTheSuperheroes'', ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2'', ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3'' and now ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'') pit the characters of the various game series produced by Creator/{{Capcom}} against the heroes and villains of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse in, naturally, a fighting tournament. Only the sketchiest rationale is drawn for this.
17	** Following this is the ''SNK Vs. Capcom'' series, (''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomMatchOfTheMillennium'', ''VideoGame/CapcomVsSNKMillenniumFight2000'', ''VideoGame/CapcomVsSNK2MarkOfTheMillennium'' and ''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos'') basically putting the characters of [[Creator/{{Capcom}} both]] [[Creator/{{SNK}} companies]]' FightingGame series against each other. A spinoff series known as ''SNK vs. Capcom: Card Fighters'' is a TCG pulling characters from both companies' entire libraries.
18	** And then there is ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'', a action/strategy RPG featuring characters from [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Namco]] and Creator/{{Capcom}}.
19	** ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXTekken'' and ''Tekken x Street Fighter'' however are actual fighting games featuring Namco (''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'') and Capcom (''Franchise/StreetFighter'') characters.
20	** Only related through the VS. series via the appearance of ''one'' Capcom series rather than ''multiple'' but what the heck: ''VideoGame/CrossEdge'' is a RPG with Compile Heart at the helm of development. Characters from ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}'', ''VideoGame/ExaPico'', ''Franchise/{{Disgaea}}'', ''VideoGame/SpectralSouls'', ''VideoGame/AtelierMarieTheAlchemistOfSalburg'' and ''[[VideoGame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlRevis Mana Khemia]]'' show up in this one.
21	** There's also ''VideoGame/TatsunokoVsCapcom'', which returns to the gameplay of the Marvel series but instead pits the Capcom characters against the works of Creator/TatsunokoProduction like ''[[Anime/ScienceNinjaTeamGatchaman Gatchaman]]'' and ''[[Anime/NeoHumanCasshern Casshern]]''. It is basically ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' using Japan's Marvel.
22	*** Even before ''Tatsunoko vs. Capcom'', there was a Platform/PlayStation FightingGame called ''Tatsunoko Fight'', which pitted four Creator/{{Tatsunoko\|Production}} superhero anime (and one original made-up anime) characters, along with their females/sidekicks and villains.
23	* ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWar'' contains hundreds of user created skins that allow you to make the wackiest of situations. Any character that has been in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' has a skin in the game, and even very obscure and non-videogame characters have been made, making this the largest video game crossover.
24	* ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' is a SpiritualSuccessor to ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'', only now adding Creator/{{Sega}} (and technically Bandai of [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Namco Bandai]], with ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'', and ''Franchise/DotHack'' being Bandai's franchises before the merger with Namco) into the mix. The sequel also adds Creator/{{Nintendo}} characters.
25	* Ken's stage in ''[[VideoGame/StreetFighterAlpha Street Fighter Alpha 2]]'' features a number of characters from different Capcom games, including Pure the Mage from the crossover game Capcom World.
26	* Creator/{{Capcom}}'s ''Adventure Quiz'', ''Capcom World'' and ''Capcom Quiz'' games feature several Capcom characters in the shared world of Capcom Kingdom, with OriginalGeneration characters making cameos in later games. According to the mobile crossover game ''Minna to Capcom All Stars''/''Street Fighter x All Capcom'', all Capcom heroes reside in Capcom World.
27	* Capcom's own MascotFighter: ''VideoGame/CapcomFightingEvolution''. The only game where we were able to have a [[Franchise/StreetFighter Zangief vs. Alex]] fight[[note]]Before the release of ''VideoGame/StreetFighterV'' anyway[[/note]], and which not only had the distinction of being the only Capcom-made[[note]]''VideoGame/SNKVsCapcomSVCChaos'' doesn't count, it was made by {{Creator/SNK}}[[/note]] crossover not featuring [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Morrigan]], (Anakaris, Demitri, Felicia and Jedah, plus Pyron as one of the final bosses, were the VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} representants) but also the only game where we were able to fight as one (or two) of the ''VideoGame/RedEarth'' characters who aren't Tessa. (Leo, Hauzer, Hydron and Kenji were the representants)
28	* In contrast, the ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' series (almost certainly the originator of this trope in video game form) has magnificent, complex plots, and the individual games have touched upon nearly every HumongousMecha series in existence. Particular of note is how they merge individual ''episodes'' to make missions, including having the famous "dancing" episode of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' set on Anime/{{Macross}} Island.
29	** Additionally, ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'' is a Massively Multiplayer Crossover of various ''Super Robot Wars'' [[OriginalGeneration original characters]] (as each ''Super Robot Wars'' sub-series is set in its own universe)
30	*** Furthermore, ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars OG Saga: VideoGame/EndlessFrontier'' is a crossover between ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration'' and ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'' (minus the Capcom) - making it a crossover between a crossover between crossovers and-- oh dear...
31	*** And now we have reached ''critical mass'' with ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' when they put the Capcom part back in ''and add'' Sega while putting the aforementioned protagonists of the previous series in this one.
32	*** And then ''Project X Zone 2'', the sequel, added Nintendo Characters into the mix (Specifically Fiora from ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles1'' and Chrom and Lucina from ''VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening'').
33	** And to top it all off, ''VideoGame/AnotherCenturysEpisode'' is ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'' [[JustForFun/XMeetsY using the system from]] ''VideoGame/ArmoredCore''.
34	* ''VideoGame/ChaosWars'' uses a similar SRPG system to ''Super Robot Wars'', but instead has more typical JRPG heroes from Atlus, RED, Idea Factory, and Aruze. This doesn't sound all that impressive -- outside of Atlus and ''maybe'' Idea Factory those companies are virtually unknown in the States, until you realize this includes ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts'' (Aruze), ''Growlanser'' (Atlus), ''VideoGame/SpectralSouls'' (Idea Factory), and ''VideoGame/{{Gungrave}}'' (RED). A sequel has been talked about, and there are hints that ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei''/''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' characters may make it in, and that Creator/NipponIchi might be invited to join the other 4 designers in the next series.
35	** And ditto ''VideoGame/TrinityUniverse'', which has two story modes -- one with Nippon Ichi's (Franchise/{{Disgaea}}) characters, and one with Gust (''VideoGame/AtelierSeries'') characters. It apparently revolves around someone throwing trash into Laharl's back yard. Gust and NIS are making a habit of doing these crossover games -- NIS also has a habit of localizing all of Gusts' releases in the states, too.
36	* Yet another pastiche of ''SRW'' would be ''VideoGame/BattleMoonWars'' which merges the three major published Franchise/{{Nasuverse}} canons together: ''VisualNovel/{{Tsukihime}}'', ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', and ''Literature/TheGardenOfSinners''.
37	* ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'':
38	** The series centers around having a huge assortment of different Creator/{{Nintendo}} characters duking it out, from powerhouse franchises like ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' and ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' to one-off retro games like ''VideoGame/IceClimber'' and ''VideoGame/DuckHunt''. While the template was modest for the original game, it became more prominent from ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosMelee Melee]]'' onward.
39	** With ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl Brawl]]'' (the third iteration), the series took it a step further by adding third-party {{Guest Fighter}}s to the mix, with Creator/{{Konami}}'s Solid Snake from the ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' series and Creator/{{Sega}}'s Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog joining the fight.[[note]]''Sonic'' was actually intended to be in ''Melee'', but by the time Creator/MasahiroSakurai could ask Sega, the game was too far along its (already brutal) development. Similarly, Creator/HideoKojima wanted Snake in ''Melee'', but he requested too late in the game's development.[[/note]]
40	** ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU 3DS[=/=]Wii U]]'' has the aforementioned hedgehog as well as Creator/{{Capcom}}'s Franchise/MegaMan from the [[Videogame/MegaManClassic Classic series]] and [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Namco]]'s VideoGame/PacMan, with Ryu from Capcom's ''Franchise/StreetFighter'', Cloud Strife from Creator/SquareEnix's ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'' and Sega[=/=]Creator/PlatinumGames's VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}} later appearing as downloadable content.
41	** Fully realized in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' for Platform/NintendoSwitch: '''''every playable character in Smash Bros. history is selectable''''' (''and then some''). The game even has more content from third-parties, with Simon and Richter Belmont from Konami's ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' and Ken from ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' as fighters and Creator/{{Konami}}'s VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}, Yacht Club Games's VideoGame/ShovelKnight, and Rathalos from Creator/{{Capcom}}'s ''VideoGame/MonsterHunter'' as [[AssistCharacter Assist Trophies]], with the latter also being a boss (same with ''Castlevania''[='=]s Dracula). And with DLC, you may add Joker from ''VideoGame/Persona5'', up to four heroes from ''Franchise/DragonQuest'', [[VideoGame/BanjoKazooie Banjo & Kazooie]], Terry from ''VideoGame/FatalFury'', Steve from ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'', Sephiroth from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', Kazuya from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'', and Sora from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' to the mix. All told, there's more than ''thirty different game franchises'' represented in the playable characters alone, and dozens more when you count stages, music, assist trophies, Mii costumes, and spirits, such as ''VideoGame/VirtuaFighter'', ''VideoGame/SimCity'', ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Galaga}}'', ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed'', ''VideoGame/{{Undertale}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Cuphead}}'', ''VideoGame/MetalSlug'', ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Warframe}}'', ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', ''VideoGame/NoMoreHeroes'', ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'', ''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'', ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'', and ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}''. By the time the game's DLC cycle ended, the playable roster alone had fighters from '''40''' different series.
42	---> '''Sakurai''': Simply put, this is the biggest crossover in gaming history. Once again, worlds will collide.
43	* Creator/SquareEnix's ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series merges nearly every movie in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon and some outside of it with the feel and characters of the ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' series (though, just like the ''Tsubasa'' example above, the Disney characters are alternate universe incarnations, as implicitly stated in the ''Franchise/{{Tron}}'' world). [[note]]Or are they?...[[/note]]
44	* ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'':
45	** On the PSP is ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy'' and its prequel ''Dissidia 012'', where heroes and villains of various ''FF'' games face off as part of the machinations of two opposing powers. ''Dissidia'' would later be "rebooted" as [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy2015 a 3-on-3 arena fighter for arcades]] ([[RecycledTitle sharing its name with the original]]) and then ported to the [=PS4=] as ''Dissidia NT'', though its story is actually a loose continuation what happens in the first two games.
46	** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyRecordKeeper'', much like ''Dissidia'', combines characters from all main games in the franchise, and even a number of spin-offs, the difference being that this is a somewhat decent (for mobile standards) RPG.
47	** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyBraveExvius'' features characters from several ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' games.
48	** ''VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasyOperaOmnia'' is the series' first true CrisisCrossover as far as having the various casts interacting with each other, featuring main series games and some others like ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyTactics Tactics]]'', ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyCrystalChronicles Crystal Chronicles]]'', and more.
49	* ''Tales of the World'', Namco's set of MassiveMultiplayerCrossover games for their ''VideoGame/TalesSeries''. One bonus, though, is that the ''Narikiri Dungeon'' heroes' ability to dress as any ''[[VideoGame/TalesSeries Tales]]'' character and gain their abilities applies to bosses, too. Now add in the fact that theme music changes to whatever character or costume is in the lead of a party in battle, and you have a winning idea when a ''Tales'' fan can battle to Motoi Sakuraba's more popular themes, like Fighting of the Spirit or Decisive.
50	** A recent download introduces Taki and Mitsurugi from ''[[VideoGame/SoulSeries Soulcalibur]]'' for use as well.
51	** ''Tales of VS'' has recently been announced. It's a FightingGame that we have been told is going to have a total of 35 characters from 13 different ''[[VideoGame/TalesSeries Tales]]'' games. So far only 8 have been announced. They are: Stahn Aileron and Mighty Kongman from ''VideoGame/TalesOfDestiny'', Kratos Aurion from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia'', Richter Abend from ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld'', Luke fon Fabre and Anise Tatlin from ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'', Shing Meteoryte from ''VideoGame/TalesOfHearts'', and Yuri Lowell from ''VideoGame/TalesOfVesperia''.
52	** ''VideoGame/TalesOfHearts'' itself is a borderline example. The cameo summons are somewhere between the trope and a very prominent ShoutOut.
53	* ''VideoGame/AstroBoyOmegaFactor'' for the GBA contains characters from many of Creator/OsamuTezuka's works. You gain levels by meeting new characters.
54	* ''[[VideoGame/FusionFall Cartoon Network: Fusion Fall]]'' was a Creator/CartoonNetwork MMORPG that combines their various original series (including ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'', ''WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy'', ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10}}'', among others).
55	* ''[[VideoGame/AnotherCenturysEpisode A.C.E.: Another Century's Episode]]'' is, much like ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars'', a massive crossover between a number of HumongousMecha series. It's an action game rather than a turn-based strategy game, though.
56	* ''VideoGame/MortalKombatVsDCUniverse'', where blood-thirsty kombatants and superheroes beat up each other due to a HatePlague spread by an ugly fusion of two {{Big Bad}}s.
57	* THQ's ''VideoGame/NicktoonsUnite'' series merged various [[Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} Nicktoons]] with ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'', ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' and ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfJimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' consistently featuring as well as reoccurring appearances of varying frequency from ''WesternAnimation/FairlyOddParents'', ''VideoGame/TakAndThePowerOfJuju'' and ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'' (long after the last one was ScrewedByTheNetwork), as well as [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow Stimpy]] and [[WesternAnimation/RockosModernLife Rocko]] in the console version of ''Nicktoons: Attack of the Toybots'', and [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Aang]] in ''Nicktoons Nitro''. It has since been followed by ''VideoGame/NicktoonsMLB''.
58	** First there was the ''VideoGame/NickelodeonSuperBrawl'' series of browser games. Years later, the company went full ''Super Smash Bros.'' with ''VideoGame/NickelodeonAllStarBrawl'', which even included ''Franchise/{{Garfield}}'', who had been purchased by Nick but had yet to get his show by the game's release.
59	* ''[[VideoGame/GundamVsSeries Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs. Gundam]]'' is an arcade FightingGame with a CrisisCrossover ExcusePlot that throws all thirty years of the ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' franchise together so characters like [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro]], [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Domon]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing Heero]], [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamSEED Kira]], and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam00 Setsuna]] can beat the stuffing out of each other.
60	** Similarly, there is ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriorsGundam'' that has several stories focusing on different pilots teaming up into two forces because of this. Eventually, you can even have different pilots using different mecha.
61	* ''Dengeki Gakuen RPG: Cross of Venus'' is a Platform/NintendoDS ActionRPG that throws ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'', ''Literature/IriyaNoSoraUFONoNatsu'', ''Literature/KinosJourney'', ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex'', ''Literature/HarukaNogizakasSecret'', ''Literature/BludgeoningAngelDokurochan'', ''Literature/{{Toradora}}'' and ''Literature/AsuraCryin'' (with cameos from ''Literature/SpiceAndWolf'', ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'', ''Literature/{{Inukami}}'' and the Literature/BoogiepopSeries) together into a CrisisCrossover.
62	** ''VideoGame/DengekiBunkoFightingClimax'', a traditional fighter for arcade and consoles starring characters from Dengeki Bunko properties, including [[Literature/SwordArtOnline Asuna]], [[Literature/ShakuganNoShana Shana]], [[Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex Mikoto Misaka]], [[Literature/{{Oreimo}} Kirino Kousaka]], [[Literature/{{Durarara}} Shizuo Heiwajima]], and [[Literature/AccelWorld Kuroyukihime]]. Representing Sega's own stake in the game (since they developed it) is [[VideoGame/VirtuaFighter Akira Yuki]] (with Pai Chan as an AssistCharacter), serving as the game's GuestFighter boss. There's no relation between those two titles [[spoiler: except for the same villain, named Zetsumu]].
63	* ''VideoGame/DreamMixTVWorldFighters'' is a fairly bizarre crossover FightingGame featuring characters from Creator/{{Konami}}, Creator/HudsonSoft, and Creator/{{Takara}}. It's a shame it wasn't very good; where else could you pit VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}, [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Simon Belmont]], [[VideoGame/MetalGear Solid Snake]] and [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Optimus Prime]] against each other?
64	* Creator/{{Konami}} has a series of crossover games including ''[[VideoGame/WaiWaiWorld Konami Wai Wai World]]'', ''Wai Wai World 2: SOS!! Parsley Jō'', ''Wai Wai Poker'', ''Wai Wai Jockey'', ''Wai Wai Bingo'', ''Konami Wai Wai Sokoban'', ''Konami Wai Wai Racing Advance'', ''[[VideoGame/TrackAndField New International Track & Field]]'', ''Jikkyō Power Pro Wrestling '96: Max Voltage'', the Mahjong game ''Hai no Majutsushi'', the ''VideoGame/{{Parodius}}'' series and its spinoffs, and ''VideoGame/{{Otomedius}}''.
65	* {{Creator/Konami}}'s {{Platform/MSX2}} Mahjong game ''Hai no Majutsushi'' featured eight mascots from various other Konami games: [[VideoGame/MazeOfGalious Popolon, Aphrodite]], [[VideoGame/AntarcticAdventure Pentarou]], [[VideoGame/GanbareGoemon Goemon]], [[VideoGame/{{Gradius}} Dr. Venom]], a VisualNovel/{{Snatcher}}, a moai, and a perverted version of [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} Simon Belmont]].
66	* ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}'':
67	** ''VideoGame/SaturnBomberman'' features playable appearances from other Creator/HudsonSoft characters, those being VideoGame/{{Bonk}}, [[VideoGame/MilonsSecretCastle Milon]], [[VideoGame/AdventureIsland Master Higgins]], [[VideoGame/GalaxyFrauleinYuna Yuna]], [[VideoGame/TengaiMakyou Manjimaru, Kabuki, Kinu and Manto]].
68	** ''VideoGame/SuperBomberman R'' and ''Super Bomberman R Online'' both feature a lot playable cameos, ranging from well-known characters from Creator/{{Konami}}'s repertoire like [[VideoGame/{{Castlevania}} Simon Belmont]] and [[Franchise/SilentHill Pyramid Head]], to other recognizable third-parties like [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Master Chief]] and Franchise/RatchetAndClank, to more out-there choices like VideoGame/{{Princess Tomato\|InTheSaladKingdom}} and [[VideoGame/RumbleRoses Reiko Hinomoto]].
69	** ''VideoGame/PowerBomberman'', a FanGame, features [[TheBusCameBack the return of many characters from previous installments]], including a lot of earlier cameos such as VideoGame/LodeRunner[[note]]In his ''Battle Lode Runner'' appearance, due to the NES versions of these two franchises being connected[[/note]] and [[Characters/WarioAndWaluigi Wario]][[note]]Due to his appearance in ''Wario Blast''[[/note]]. However, the game also features playable appearances from characters from Creator/{{Konami}} and Creator/HudsonSoft that hadn't crossed over with the series before, including but not limited to [[VideoGame/AdventuresOfDinoRiki Dino Riki]], [[VideoGame/{{Calling}} Rin Kagura]], [[VideoGame/RocketKnightAdventures Sparkster]] and [[VideoGame/{{Boktai}} Django]].
70	* ''VideoGame/MagicalBattleArena'' is a 3D flying FightingGame that pits the female mages and {{Magical Girl}}s of ''Franchise/LyricalNanoha'', ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'', ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'', and ''Manga/MagicalCircleGuruGuru'' against one another, with more characters and series like ''Anime/MagicKnightRayearth'' included in {{Expansion Pack}}s.
71	** Its sequel ''Magical Battle Arena NEXT'' throws in characters from ''Franchise/TouhouProject'', ''Manga/FateKaleidLinerPrismaIllya'' and ''Anime/MagicalWitchPuniechan'' for good measure, albeit at the cost of removing some of the characters from the previous game.
72	* ''VideoGame/JumpSuperStars'' and its successors ''VideoGame/JStarsVictoryVs'' and ''VideoGame/JumpForce'' have characters from dozens of ''Weekly Shonen Jump'' series in a ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''-style battle royale.
73	** Similarly, ''Battle Stadium D.O.N.'' is the same, but specifically has characters from ''Franchise/DragonBall'', ''Franchise/OnePiece'', and ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'' (hence the D.O.N.).
74	** As far as mobile games go, there's ''Jump Stadium'' and ''Jump Hero Taisen''. Most notable is ''Jumputi Heroes'', which features over 90 different series.
75	* Speaking of which, Shounen Sunday and Shounen Magazine are looking to take a bite out of ''Jump Super Stars'' together with ''VideoGame/SundayVSMagazineShuuketsuChoujouDaikessen'' (Also known as ''Sunday vs. Magazine'') on the PSP.
76	* ''VideoGame/QuakeIIIArena'' (and by extension, ''[[http://www.quakelive.com Quake Live]]'') included characters from ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' (although two of them were invented [[GodCreatedCanonForeigner specifically for this game]]), ''VideoGame/QuakeI'', and ''VideoGame/QuakeII''.
77	** The mod ''[[http://www.wireheadstudios.org/generations/ Generations Arena]]'' takes the above concept and runs with it, extending the crossover to the ''gameplay'' via five classes, each adapting the gameplay of said five games to the ''Quake III'' engine, right down to the finest details. ''Doom''-style fast-paced battles and BFG against ''Quake''-style flexible air control and powerful rocket launcher? You got it.
78	** And that's not even including custom skins, with which the crossovers skyrocket through the roof.
79	** ''VideoGame/QuakeChampions'' brings back most of the aforementioned characters from ''Arena'', but also adds [[VideoGame/{{Wolfenstein}} B.J. Blazkowicz]] to the mix.
80	* ''{{VideoGame/MUGEN}}'' is a customizable 2D fighting engine that permits end users to homebrew reproductions of any other character in the entire genre, and create unique ones. Fighters already exist for every "vs" title released and almost every fighting games, and can be crossed over in unique ways.
81	* Creator/NipponIchi has released one, ''VideoGame/TrinityUniverse''. It's made in conjunction with Gust and Idea Factory.
82	** ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 3\|AbsenceOfJustice}}'' has characters from almost all Creator/NipponIchi Series. Including the entire cast of the earlier Disgaea games. ''VideoGame/MakaiKingdom'', ''VideoGame/SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters'', ''VideoGame/PhantomBrave'' and ''VideoGame/LaPucelle''.
83	* [[http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=271473 This]] GameMod for Civilization IV has an [[AllMythsAreTrue All Fiction is True]] premise, allowing for a player to fight wars and build empires as several famous fictional leaders ranging from [[Literature/TheIliad Agamemnon]] to Macbeth to Rama, Dracula, [[Creator/MarxBrothers Rufus T. Firefly]], and [[Series/TheWestWing Jed Bartlet]]. Wonders of the World include [[Literature/AtlasShrugged Galt's Gulch]], [[Franchise/HarryPotter Hogwarts]], [[Myth/KingArthur Camelot]], and Franchise/JurassicPark, and adds Hero Units like Literature/DonQuixote, [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest Sun Wukong]] and [[Literature/TheTimeMachine The Time Traveller]].
84	* The Creator/SquareEnix board game series ''VideoGame/FortuneStreet'' has character crossovers of VideoGame/DragonQuest with either ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'' or ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' depending on the game. Though traditionally NoExportForYou, a Western release was released for the Platform/{{Wii}} as ''VideoGame/FortuneStreet''.
85	* [[http://www.cinemassacre.com/2010/05/03/fan-games-cameo-founder-of-ljn-passes-away/ Mentioned]] by [[WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd the Nerd himself]] (well, his actor), ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBrosCrossover.''
86	* The fan-made ''VideoGame/MushroomKingdomFusion'' combines a wide variety of classic and contemporary video game characters and universes together into one game. For starters, playable characters include [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario and Luigi, Wario]], [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Sonic and Tails]], [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], [[VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins Arthur]], and [[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Roll]].
87	* The cancelled ''VideoGame/IndieBrawl'', a FightingGame à la ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'', but with characters from the Indie Gaming culture.
88	* ''VideoGame/PokerNightAtTheInventory'', a TabletopGame/{{poker}} game involving characters from ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'', ''VideoGame/SamAndMaxFreelancePolice'', ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' and ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner''. ''VideoGame/PokerNight2'' ups the ante by having [=GlaDOS=] as dealer, with [[Franchise/EvilDead Ash Williams]], [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers Brock Samson]], VideoGame/{{Sam\|AndMaxFreelancePolice}}, and [[VideoGame/{{Borderlands}} Claptrap]] as opponents. [=GLaDOS=] and Ash especially being no stranger to crossovers by now.
89	* Any game on Nintendo systems that uses Miis as playable characters or [=NPCs=] can become this if you make enough of them.
90	* ''VideoGame/PlaystationMoveHeroes'', featuring VideoGame/JakAndDaxter, Franchise/RatchetAndClank, and VideoGame/SlyCooper ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Bentley]]).
91	** ''VideoGame/PlayStationAllStarsBattleRoyale'' takes this concept, bolts on a few more franchises, and storms ''Super Smash Bros.'''s territory with a MascotFighter.
92	* The ''Macross Frontier'' PSP game series allows you to play all ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' universes. The recent title, ''Macross Triangle Frontier'', covers ''Anime/MacrossZero'', ''Anime/{{Macross}}'' (as well as '' Do You Remember Love''), ''Anime/MacrossPlus'', ''Anime/{{Macross 7}}'', ''Macross Dynamite 7'', ''Anime/MacrossFrontier'' (as well as ''Macross Frontier: The False Songstress'') and ''Macross 2''. This later came to a head with ''Macross 30'', which brings all of the above (minus ''Macross II'') together in a CrisisCrossover along with some OriginalGeneration characters.
93	* In a more literal example, ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' allows anyone to make their own character skins, which leads to 20+ characters all working together to build a house/civilisation and mine for diamonds. In a more official example, packs of skins from multiple properties can be purchased, included (but not limited to) ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'', ''Franchise/StarWars'', ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'', ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'', ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'', ''Franchise/TheWalkingDead'', the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, etc.
94	* ''VideoGame/CartoonNetworkPunchTimeExplosion'' is a Smash Bros. clone with [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Cartoon Network]] characters.

96	* ''VideoGame/HeroesOfJinYong'' is set in the world of Creator/JinYong's novels, where you're inexplicably stuck in the literary world. You can repeatedly bump into the novel's characters and recruit them as part of your team, including Zhang Wuji (''Literature/HeavenSwordAndDragonSabre'') to Shih Po-tien (''Ode to Gallantry''), Duan-yu (''Literature/DemiGodsAndSemiDevils''), Chen Jia-lo (''The Book And The Sword''), Ling Hu-Chong (''Literature/TheSmilingProudWanderer''), Yuan Cheng-qi (''The Sword Stained With Royal Blood''), Hu-Fei (''Flying Fox of the Snowy Mountain''), and more heroes from several other novels. The remake also includes Zhou Bo-tong (''Literature/TheLegendOfTheCondorHeroes''), Yang-guo (''Literature/TheReturnOfTheCondorHeroes'') and agaisnt all odds, Wei Xiaobao (''Literature/TheDeerAndTheCauldron'') - the latter being from ''another later dynasty''.
97	* ''VideoGame/HeroesPhantasia'' is an RPG from [[Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment Banpresto]], featuring ''Manga/SgtFrog'', ''Literature/{{Slayers}}'', ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'', ''Anime/MyHime'', ''Literature/SorcererStabberOrphen'', ''Anime/ReadOrDie'', ''Anime/RuneSoldierLouie'', ''Anime/SCryed'', and ''Anime/BloodPlus''.
98	* NES pirate cartridge ''VideoGame/KartFighter'' drops the characters from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioKart'' into a fighting game, while ''World Heroes 2'' (not to be confused with the actual ''VideoGame/WorldHeroes'' games) includes [[Franchise/StreetFighter Ryu, Chun Li, M. Bison]], [[VideoGame/FinalFight Haggar]], [[VideoGame/FatalFury Andy Bogard, Lawrence Blood, Mai Shiranui]], [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Mario, King Koopa]], Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog, [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Leonardo]], and [[Franchise/DragonBall Goku]].
99	** The Mega Drive bootleg ''[[ColonCancer Top Fighter 2000 MK VIII]]'' attempts to take this one step further, (albeit with fewer characters) with UsefulNotes/MuhammadAli, (yes, the legendary boxer) UsefulNotes/MichaelJordan, (yes, the NBA star) [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Ryu]], [[Franchise/DragonBall Goku]], [[VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters Kyo]], ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}, [[VideoGame/FatalFury Ryo and Geese Howard]] all playable characters. The title screen features the former two, while the intro sequence (which includes ''Ali punching Jordan in the face'') implies that they were going for an UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny between them.
100	* ''VideoGame/TheQueenOfHeart'' crosses over ''VisualNovel/ComicParty'', ''Filsnown'', ''Inagawa de Ikou'', ''Kizuato'', ''Shizuku'', ''VisualNovel/ToHeart'', ''Go To Heart'', and ''White Album''. ''VideoGame/{{Aquapazza}}'' crosses over ''VisualNovel/ComicParty'', ''Kizuato'', ''Routes'', ''VisualNovel/TearsToTiara'', ''VisualNovel/ToHeart'', ''VideoGame/{{Utawarerumono}}'', and ''VisualNovel/WhiteAlbum''.
101	* The ''VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi'' series becomes this in the third game when it adds characters from various Koei Tecmo titles aside from the main ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'' and ''VideoGame/SamuraiWarriors'' series, including: [[VideoGame/WarriorsLegendsOfTroy Achilles]], [[VideoGame/DeadOrAlive Ayane]], [[VideoGame/BladestormTheHundredYearsWar Joan of Arc]], [[VideoGame/TrinitySoulsOfZillOll Nemea]], and [[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Ryu Hayabusa]].

102	** ''VideoGame/WarriorsAllStars'' adds to the mix ''VideoGame/{{Nights of Azure}}'' and ''VideoGame/{{Opoona}}''.
103	* ''VideoGame/{{Widenyo}}'', a very addicting and [[ForcedLevelGrinding grind-tastic]] turn-based strategy game featuring 156 characters from a multitude of Creator/{{Alicesoft}} games.
104	* One of the oldest examples for video games? ''VideoGame/KingsQuest''. Its FantasyKitchenSink setting was explained in ''Literature/TheKingsQuestCompanion'' by stating that Fairy Tale characters, mages, magical creatures, TheFairFolk, and gods of dying faiths literally [[AllThereInTheManual withdrew to an alternate universe to survive]].
105	* ''VideoGame/UniversalMonstersOnline'' does this with various Franchise/UniversalHorror characters; a few had already crossed over in the films, but the game adds several more to the mix.
106	* ''Namco Super Wars'' for the Platform/WonderSwan.
107	* The Hoyle series of games by Sierra involves a variety of Sierra characters and Sierra staff that you can choose as your opponents. The first one alone has half the cast occupied by [[VideoGame/KingsQuest King Graham, Princess Rosella,]] [[VideoGame/LauraBow Colonel Henri Dijon, Shelly LeBlanc,]] [[VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry Larry Laffer,]] [[VideoGame/PoliceQuest Sonny Bonds,]] [[VideoGame/SpaceQuest and Roger Wilco.]] The rest included some original characters, staff, and the staff's children.
108	** Sierra games themselves could be this. A typical ''King's Quest'' game ran on FantasyKitchenSink and had everything from dragons, TheFairFolk, a gnome spinning straw into gold, a climbable beanstalk, {{FairyGodmother}}s, Red Riding Hood and Granny, Dracula, Greek mythology, druids, Ooga-Booga land (an homage to Creator/TimBurton), and whatever else the designers felt like throwing in.
109	* ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaHarmonyOfDespair''. Dracula's come to life inside a book chronicling his various reincarnations. Unfortunately for him, so have [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaAriaOfSorrow the guy that beat him for good, his reluctant reincarnation following that defeat, their witch friend]], [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight Dracula's human-sympathising son, the Belmont that said son freed from mind control, the girl that helped them]], [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaI the Belmont Dracula cursed, who then killed Drac ''again'' to beat said curse]], [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaOrderOfEcclesia an amnesiac with magic siphoning powers]], [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin the duo that beat him and Death at the same time]], and [[VideoGame/GetsuFumaDen Getsu Fuma]].
110	* ''VideoGame/BrutalMario''. Mario vs Bowser and the Koopalings, [[VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry King K Rool]], [[VideoGame/MegaMan Dr Wily]], the enemies from ''VideoGame/TrialsOfMana'' and the cast of the ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' series, among others. That's not even counting the references in the overworld graphics/music or included in the form of the normal enemies.
111	* [[VideoGame/OneThousandAndOneSpikes 1001 Spikes]] has many different characters from other games - Commander Video from ''VideoGame/BitTrip'', Sugimoto, President Thompson and Zombie from ''Tempura of the Dead'', Juni from ''VideoGame/KnyttStories'', Nyx from ''VideoGame/NyxQuest'', and Curly Brace from ''VideoGame/CaveStory''. It even has an author avatar of Jonathan Blow (who made VideoGame/{{Braid}} ).
112	* ''[[VideoGame/OneHundredPercentOrangeJuice 100% Orange Juice]]'' is virtual boardgame developed by the Doujinsoft group Orange_Juice to celebrate their 5th anniversary. Some series featured in it include ''VideoGame/{{SUGURI}}'', ''VideoGame/{{sora}}'', ''QP Shooting'', ''Flying Red Barrel'' and ''Alicianrone''.
113	* ''VideoGame/HeroesOfTheStorm'' is the Creator/BlizzardEntertainment crossover [[MultiplayerOnlineBattleArena MOBA]]. Heroes from ''{{VideoGame/Warcraft}}'', ''{{VideoGame/StarCraft}}'', ''{{VideoGame/Diablo}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Overwatch}}'' and even ''VideoGame/TheLostVikings'' get mixed up with a multiverse ExcusePlot and fight to the death across different battlegrounds.
114	* With the inclusion of [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]], [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Villager]] and [[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Isabelle]] as DLC and [[Franchise/{{Splatoon}} the Inklings]] in the UpdatedReRelease, as well as [[VideoGame/FZero the Blue Falcon]] as a kart and [[VideoGame/FZero Mute City, Big Blue]] and [[VideoGame/{{Excite}} Excitebike Arena]] as tracks, ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'' becomes this, to an extent.
115	* ''VideoGame/{{Runbow}}'' has become this with indie game projects headed to the 3DS or Wii U. Playable characters include [[VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt Gunvolt]], [[VideoGame/SteamworldDig Rusty]], [[VideoGame/{{Guacamelee}} Juan and Tostada]], Swift Thornbrooke (from ''Sportsball''), Scram Kitty (from ''Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails''), [[VideoGame/BitTrip Commander Video and Commandgirl Video]], VideoGame/ShovelKnight, Xeodrifter (from ''Xeodrifter''), [[VideoGame/{{Teslagrad}} Teslamancer]], and [[UsefulNotes/{{Unity}} Unity-chan]].
116	* Creator/BandaiNamcoEntertainment's ''Nendoroid Generation'' is an obscure Platform/PlayStationPortable crossover RPG where you can see characters from ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'', ''Anime/MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha'', ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'', ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'', ''Franchise/BlackRockShooter'', ''Anime/DogDays'', ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'', and even the popular doujin series which is the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'', in cute Nendoroid forms in a story that no one seems to bother understanding. Part of the reason for the game's obscurity lies in the fact that it was never given an English version, nor did anyone make an English patch.
117	** It was said that Shana from ''Literature/ShakuganNoShana'' and Madoka from ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica'' would appear in the game as DLC characters, but there seems to be no evidence aside from them being in the character lists on various websites.
118	* The ''VideoGame/DarkParables'' series is pretty much this for {{fairy tale}}s. Although there is only one playable character - the Fairy Tale Detective, who resolves the issues preventing HappilyEverAfter - there is an ever-expanding cast of characters from a variety of classic tales, all of whom interact with one another in some way or another. Thus you see things like Literature/SnowWhite's twin brother being engaged to Literature/{{Rapunzel}}, and Literature/{{Jack\|AndTheBeanstalk}} confronting Literature/{{Goldilocks\|AndTheThreeBears}}, and Literature/{{Pinocchio}}'s father being married to Literature/{{Cinderella}}'s FairyGodmother - among many other connections.
119	* ''VideoGame/{{Tetris}}'' (Bullet-Proof Software, 1989) for the NES: The best ending has Peach clapping, Mario and Luigi dancing, Bowser on accordion, Samus on Cello, Link playing the flute, Pit playing violin, and Donkey Kong on drums.
120	* ''VideoGame/NewgroundsRumble'' features several characters from [[Platform/{{Newgrounds}} its namesake website]] -- VideoGame/{{Pico}}, VideoGame/AlienHominid, [[WebAnimation/MadnessCombat Hank]], WebAnimation/SaladFingers, [[VideoGame/FancyPantsAdventures Fancy Pants Man]], and several more.
121	* ''VideoGame/GameTengoku'', also known as ''The Game Paradise'', was a 1995 arcade shooting game by Creator/{{Jaleco}} featuring five characters from the company's past (such obscure titles as ''Exerion'', ''Butasan'', ''Momoko 120%'', ''Formation Z'' and ''Plus Alpha'') uniting against a crazy MadScientist who wants to control the world of arcade games. Since the whole game is set in an arcade, there are several more nods and [[AffectionateParody parodies]] of old games from Jaleco and other sources. It also had a Platform/PlayStation-only sequel in 1998, adding even more characters.
122	* ''VideoGame/{{Darius}}burst Chronicle Saviours'' is slowly becoming this thanks to its DLC packs:
123	** The Creator/{{Taito}} pack includes the Inter Gray from ''VideoGame/NightStriker'', the Black Fly from ''VideoGame/MetalBlack'', and the X-LAY from ''VideoGame/{{Ray\|Series}}Force''.
124	** The Creator/{{SEGA}} pack includes the Harrier from ''VideoGame/SpaceHarrier'', Opa-Opa from ''VideoGame/FantasyZone'', and the TRY-Z from ''Galaxy Force II''.
125	** The Creator/{{CAVE}} pack will include ships and characters from ''[[VideoGame/DonPachi DoDonPachi]] [=DaiFukkatsu=]'', ''VideoGame/{{Deathsmiles}}'', and ''VideoGame/{{Ketsui}}''.
126	** The [[Creator/EightingRaizing Raizing]] pack will include ships and characters from ''VideoGame/BattleGaregga'', ''VideoGame/MahouDaisakusen'', and ''VideoGame/{{Soukyugurentai}}''.
127	* ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddysWorld'' features characters from all around the franchise: [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys all]] [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2 four]] [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys3 versions]] [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys4 of the animatronics]], [[TheUnexpected characters who only make an appearance in the background or in the game's lore]], and even Guest Fighters from Scott Cawthon's other games, VideoGame/ChipperAndSonsLumberCo and VideoGame/TheDesolateHope.
128	* ''VideoGame/PulpAdventures'' roster of playable characters has an impressive cast featuring:
129	** Characters of the main timeline: LongList ahead (one line equals one work).
130	*** Literature/TheAvenger,
131	*** Captain Midnight,
132	*** ComicStrip/DickTracy,
133	*** [[Literature/DocSavage Doc Savage, Monk Mayfair, Ham Brooks, Renny Rennwick, Long Tom Roberts, Johnny Littlejohn, and Pat Savage]],
134	*** [[Radio/TheGreenHornet The Green Hornet and Kato]],

137	*** [[ComicStrip/JungleJim Jungle Jim and Kolu]],
138	*** ComicStrip/MandrakeTheMagician,
139	*** Miss Fury,
140	*** ComicStrip/ThePhantom,
141	*** ComicBook/TheRocketeer,
142	*** Radio/TheShadow,
143	*** Literature/TheSpider,
144	*** ComicBook/TheSpirit,
145	*** Franchise/{{Tarzan}}.
146	** ShowWithinAShow characters: Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian, Franchise/{{Zorro}}, [[Franchise/TheLoneRanger the Lone Ranger and Tonto]]. They appear in levels representing books being read by the main protagonists; said books tell real events (in-universe), then those three franchises are also part of this large crossover instead of being fictions in-universe.
147	** Sandbox mod-only characters: ComicStrip/FlashGordon, ComicStrip/BuckRogers, [[Literature/JohnCarterOfMars John Carter and Dejah Thoris]].
148	* Continuing the Disney trend is ''Disney VideoGame/CrossyRoad'', which is a spinoff of ''Crossy Road'' where you can play as heaps of Disney characters!
149	* [[http://store.steampowered.com/app/407620/Indie_Game_Battle/ Indie Game Battle]] was a [[PlatformFighter Smash Bros-esque]] game that features characters from Blob Games Studio and a boatload of [[GuestFighter 3rd Party characters]].
150	* ''VideoGame/BlazBlueCrossTagBattle'' features characters from various ''Creator/ArcSystemWorks'' games such as ''Videogame/BlazBlue'', ''Videogame/Persona4Arena'' and ''Videogame/UnderNightInBirth'' as well as ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}''. A fifth series, ''VideoGame/ArcanaHeart'', a sixth series, ''VideoGame/SenranKagura'', and a seventh series, ''VideoGame/AkatsukiBlitzkampf'', are on the way for Season 2.
151	* ''VideoGame/LittleBigPlanet'' can become this by combining DownloadableContent, you can have ComicBook/{{Batman}}, [[Franchise/BackToTheFuture Marty McFly]], ComicBook/SpiderMan and [[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Jack Skellington]] in [[Franchise/TheMuppets the Muppet Theater]], or [[Franchise/ToyStory Buzz Lightyear]], [[Franchise/TheIncredibles Mr. Incredible]], [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Jack Sparrow]] and WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob\|SquarePants}} in [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime the Land of Ooo]].
152	* ''VideoGame/{{Miitopia}}'' can potentially become this as a result of the Miis found online and the amount of player choice in regards to who's who. For example, you could have the Burger King as an actual king, [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Tingle]] as an official fairy, ComicBook/{{Batman}} fighting against Dark Lord Franchise/{{Kirby}}! Of special note is that there is a search function for Mii characters. Pick any character or real person with any amount of notability and you will be given 10 Miis for it, as long as you can name that character within 10 spaces. Doesn't matter if it's [[UsefulNotes/AlbertEinstein "Einstein,"]] [[Creator/SergeiEisenstein "Eisenstein,"]] or [[UsefulNotes/DwightDEisenhower "Eisenhower"]]; or [[WesternAnimation/{{Amphibia}} "Sash W.,"]] [[VideoGame/FreedomPlanet "Sash Lilac,"]] or [[Creator/SachaBaronCohen "SachaCohen"]]; you ''will'' find that character and can fit him, her, or it into the story somehow.
153	* ''VideoGame/IndiePogo'' is a fighting game starring various characters from around 20 different indie games, with even more appearing as unlockable trophies.
154	* ''3D Power Drift'', an UpdatedRerelease of ''VideoGame/PowerDrift'' featured [[VideoGame/SpaceHarrier Harrier, Binsbein,]] [[VideoGame/AlteredBeast1988 Nameless Beast Warrior]], [[VideoGame/OutRun Flagman]], [[VideoGame/{{Shinobi}} Joe Musashi]], [[VideoGame/FantasyZone Dralinflore]], [[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage Axel, Blaze, Adam]], [[VideoGame/HangOn Mr. Hang-On]], [[VideoGame/GalaxyForce Galaxy Lady]], and VideoGame/AlexKidd.

156	* ''VideoGame/CrystalCrisis'' is another Nicalis crossover, this time a puzzle game, and features characters from around ten different indie games, along with a few of Creator/OsamuTezuka's characters and even ComicBook/JohnnyTurbo.
157	* The mod ''[[https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/32411/ Here There Be Monsters]]'' for ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim'' consists in fighting against a dozen of sea-monsters from different real-life mythologies, resulting in a crossover between the ''Elder Scrolls'' universe, Myth/ClassicalMythology (Karkinos, Phorcys), Literature/TheBible (Leviathan), Finnish Mythology (Iku-Turso), Myth/NorseMythology (Jormungandr, the Kraken, Ymir), Myth/CelticMythology (the Curriud), and Myth/MesopotamianMythology (Tiamat); in-universe, this whole bestiary is actually a single family (the children of Tiamat and Phorcys). The mod's sequels, ''[[https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/68259/ The Call of Cthulhu]]'' and ''[[https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/88643/ Sign of Cipactli]]'', respectively add the ''Franchise/CthulhuMythos'' and Myth/AztecMythology to the story. The stand-alone companion mod ''[[https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/101343 Here There Be Monsters: Trollhunter]]'' adds five bosses, again based on trolls from various sources (''Theatre/PeerGynt'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'', Danish folklore, ''ComicBook/TheMightyThor'', and ''Literature/{{Beowulf}}'').
158	* ''Paperbound'' is a PlatformFighter where characters fight in settings of classic books like Literature/JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth. It also has quite a few indie guest characters.
159	* ''Twinkle Queen'' puts together various waifus from [=Akabeisoft2=]'s visual novels like ''VisualNovel/BlessingOfTheCampanella'', ''VisualNovel/{{Tayutama}}'', ''VisualNovel/TheDevilOnGString'', and ''VisualNovel/KoihimeMusou''.
160	* ''VideoGame/XCOM2'' can become this with mods, specifically the Allies Unknown and Allies Unknown Redux (for the expansion) mods. Both allow you to bring alien races from other franchises in as soldiers. So far, included universes are:
161	** ''Franchise/MassEffect'', featuring turians, salarians, asari, quarians, krogan, and geth.
162	** ''Franchise/StarWars'', featuring Twi'leks and HK droids.

165	* Another Creator/{{Taito}} game, ''VideoGame/ArkanoidVsSpaceInvaders'' is not just a crossover between the two franchises, but has playable characters from its Library of games.
166	* ''VideoGame/ShadyLewdKart'' is a surprisingly decent MascotRacer featuring characters from Eastern/Western hentai games and mascots of adult artists.
167	* ''VideoGame/CodeShifter'' stars Video Game programmer Stella, who uses her digital avatar Sera to debug a game that's close to completion. Along the way, she gains assistance from 8-Bit sprites of characters from many Creator/ArcSystemWorks [=IPs=], including ''VideoGame/GuiltyGear'', ''Franchise/BlazBlue'', ''VideoGame/DoubleDragon'', ''VideoGame/KunioKun'', ''VisualNovel/JakeHunter'', ''Of Mice and Sand'', ''Damascus Gear'', ''Inferno Climber'', ''Birthdays the Beginning'', and ''Wizard's Symphony''.

172	* ''VideoGame/DisneysExtremeSkateAdventure'' has playable characters and levels from ''Franchise/ToyStory'', ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Tarzan}}''. The three series don't directly interact with each other in any way and their skaters are restricted to their home worlds, but the kid skaters can access any world.
173	** In addition, a UsefulNotes/McDonalds appears in the main level hub, a mission has the player deliver food to customers, and you can unlock Ronald [=McDonald=]'s shoes as a clothing option upon completing said mission. Rapper Lil Romeo also appears as a playable character.
174	* With ''VideoGame/{{Fortnite}}'' having a lot of Crossover Collaborations, we can have a match forming with Film/JohnWick, ComicBook/{{Batman}}, [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse the Avengers]] and [[Franchise/StarWars the Jedi]] to pit against ComicBook/{{Thanos}}, the Black Order and the Stormtroopers altogether, with more additions to be added in the future.

This started with Michael Myers and Laurie Strode from ''Franchise/{{Halloween}}'', Bill from ''VideoGame/Left4Dead'', Leatherface from ''Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre'', Freddy Krueger and Quentin Smith from ''Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet'', Amanda Young and David Tapp from ''Franchise/{{Saw}}'', Ghostface from ''Film/{{Scream}}''[[note]]The character underneath the mask is a CanonForeigner; only the mask and name are licensed, because the rights to the mask and the movie are separate.[[/note]], Ash from ''Franchise/EvilDead'', the Demogorgon, Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington from ''Series/StrangerThings''[[note]]Although they were eventually ScrewedByTheLawyers and removed from the game after the rights expired in 2021, but added back in late 2023.[[/note]], Pyramid Head and Cheryl Mason from ''Franchise/SilentHill'', Nemesis, Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, Albert Wesker, and Leon Kennedy from ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', Pinhead from ''Franchise/{{Hellraiser}}'', Sadako Yamamura and Yoichi Asakawa from ''Literature/TheRing'', the alien from ''Franchise/{{Alien}}'', Chucky from ''Franchise/ChildsPlay'', and Creator/NicolasCage (yeah, just Nicolas Cage, [[AsHimself the actor]]). Skins based off of characters from the web series ''WebVideo/CryptTV'' were also added for some of the game's original characters, as well as a skin that turns one of the original killers into ''VideoGame/NaughtyBear'' (a previous game made by the same developer).
177	* ''VideoGame/AnimationThrowdownTheQuestForCards'' features characters, locations and cards from several of {{Creator/Fox}}'s most well-known animated series at the time: ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad'', ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill''.
178	* ''VideoGame/DisneySorcerersArena'' is another Disney example, taking characters from franchises both old and new and both well-known and obscure and putting them into a [=PvP=] RPG game.

As of 2021, this game is still active and still expanding its roster, as can be seen with playable instances of characters from ''WesternAnimation/RayaAndTheLastDragon'' and ''Film/JungleCruise''. It is also one of the few Disney crossovers to use characters from the Disney Channel, the other one being...
179	* ''VideoGame/DisneyHeroesBattleMode'', another [=PvP=] RPG game with a comparably large and wide roster. Franchises in this game not in ''Disney Sorcerer's Arena'' include ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', ''WesternAnimation/TheSwordInTheStone'', ''Franchise/TheMuppets'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}'', among many others.
