what is a mascot without a few dozen
crossovers names Dave with WatchMojo and
today we'll be counting down our picks
for the top 10 most crossed over video
game characters for this list we're
looking at those video game characters
who really love a good crossover
especially when it involves other gaming
franchises while quantity is the main
focus the quality of the crossovers will
also be discussed number 10 Cloud Strife
Final Fantasy 7
while the Chocobo is probably the
closest thing to a Final Fantasy mascot
Cloud Strife is the JRPG franchise's
most recognizable and marketable
character despite only appearing in one
of the 15 main entries in the Final
Fantasy series cloud has amassed an
impressive collection of crossovers even
if the majority can be credited to
Square Enix
[Music]
Kingdom Hearts II tourism final fantasy
and fall fast tactics
olfi G cloud is a playable character or
NBC while Smash Bros the Dissidia series
and the PlayStation ones are guys help
the soldier practice his fighting skills
number 9
Bomberman Bomberman series considering
the sheer volume of Bomberman games out
there it's hard to believe that Konami
is explosive mascot ever finds the time
for a crossover back in the day when the
character belonged to Hudson soft
Bomberman occasionally showed up as a
cameo and many of the publisher's games
including 1996 is da Raimi fantasy and
1999's Lost Legion UX perhaps you two
hailing from a franchise with a gameplay
style that does not leave much wiggle
room for other genres Bomberman rarely
appears as a playable character well it
does happen the crossovers tend to bring
out Bomberman strange style
number eight link The Legend of Zelda
series
[Music]
while Nintendo is not exactly shy when
it comes to crossovers especially among
in-house franchises the legendary
companies understandably protective of
its mascots that means Legend of Zelda's
link might fly by to shout encouragement
at Sonic but the Hedgehog will still be
doing all the work
[Music]
when not sleeping through Super Mario
RPG or lending his fashion sense to
anyone and everyone linked my appear in
a fighting series or to Super Smash
Brothers needs little introduction but
link was also a guest character in the
Fantastic Soulcalibur - number 7 shovel
knight shovel knight
you know for an indie character with
only one proper game I knew this belt
shovelknight just keeps getting invited
for crossovers even more impressively
shovelknight rarely sells for just a
reference or quick cameo often appearing
as a playable character in a wide range
of any gems such as road redemption run
Bo and blaster master zero just to name
a few
[Music]
despite being a relatively young
character shovelknight has over 20
credits to his name and the indie
mascots Reach is destined to only expand
Bertha as triple-a titles like Super
Smash Bros ultimate begins to take
notice
[Music]
number six you Street Fighter series you
cannot discuss videogame crossovers
without mentioning street fighters view
who else can claim to afford against or
alongside Marvel heroes seconds Jim
Kazama asuras Roth's godlike protagonist
Mario even the Power Rangers even
becoming a Power enter himself
[Music]
thanks to Capcom's fondness of
unexpected matchups Fiat as fighting
games or tactical RPGs Rio has a Duke
and his way into dozens of
mouth-watering crossovers that more
often than not a far more substantial
than brief cameos while other characters
might have more crossovers you can
compare to Roo
in terms of quality and variety and also
I found out his name is only pronounced
with one syllable before anyone starts
going crazy in the comment section 5
pac-man pac-man series generally
recognized as the first proper video
game mascot pac-man stamp on the video
game industry is undeniable putting
aside the munches many sequels and
spin-offs Toru ooh what a nice creation
has also appeared in a fair share of
crossovers
besides obvious examples like super
smash brothers and the Mario Kart arcade
GP games ever since the late eighties
Namco has loved to summon pac-man for a
few cameos of the publisher's games
beard in the sports themed world Stadium
series or the tales of RPGs there's also
the time the iconic mascot appeared as a
selectable character in Street Fighter
cross Tekken because pac-man has to do
something when he's not munching on
ghosts
[Music]
number four Megaman Megaman series
[Music]
cap coma is not gonna pass on an
opportunity for a crossover particularly
when it comes to the blue bomber weather
during the Megaman Frances's heyday or
the decade long stretch when Capcom
seemed to forget about the series
Rockman would still commonly appear in
other licenses bit Super Smash Brothers
project cross sowing or an emu ship
blade warriors ok technically Mega Man
so crossovers are divided between the
original model Mega Man X and the bowel
networks digital variant but together
they have amassed quite a stunning
collection of crossovers just pretend
that that guy in street fighter cross
tekken never happened stupid terrible
box out joke
victory is my number 3 Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong series considering Diddy
Kong has also rack more than a few
crossovers it should hardly come as a
surprise that the original Donkey Kong
tends to get around whenever Mario feels
like staging a race throwing a party or
playing a game of soccer Donkey Kong is
likely to get an invite
but Mario spin-offs are highly the great
apes only guest appearances the we and
des era was particularly fruitful for
Donkey Kong who went on to appear as a
bottom punch-out as a playable character
in Fortune Street and as a mahjong
player in Yocum and es number two
Sonic the Hedgehog Sonic the Hedgehog
series
[Music]
created specifically to rival Nintendo's
Mario Sonic was inescapable during the
90s
although Sega eased off a bit after the
turn of the century the Hedgehog with
attitude spent the best part of this
formative years cameo and other serial
licenses
starring in cereal commercials and
appearing in the occasional crossover
comic while most of the Hedgehog's
crossovers are likely more amusing
cameos sonic is also playable in games
like Christmas nights into dreams and
the HD version of Super Monkey Ball
banana blitz HD along with the obvious
examples like super smash brothers and
the Mario & Sonic at the Olympics
franchise

number one Mario Mario series is anyone
surprised mario has crossed over into
countless other gaming franchises
mediums and even professions Nintendo's
former plumber has more than earned his
reputation as the video game industry's
mascot

line between spin-offs and crossovers
Mario has a history of popping up
whenever games like tennis or golf
needed a bit of extra umph especially
during the NES SNES and Gameboy eras
