Line 33:
* Legendary Manga creator [[Osamu Tezuka]] similarly uses [[Reused Character Design|Reused Character Designs]], wherein a character from a previous work will actually play a different role in another story, [[Animated Actors|as if they were an actor or actress]]. The Game Boy Advance game ''[[Astro Boy]]: Omega Factor'' pulls nearly all of them into one massive story.
* ''[http://www.bedetheque.com/Couvertures/DragonFall5_17022007.jpg DragonFall]'' blended [[Dragon Ball]], [[Star Wars]] and [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Fall a whole bunch of other series] into a parody. With mixed results.
* The intro to the [[Rumiko Takahashi]] gallery show ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kf953nWYSlA It's a Rumic World]'' explicitly crosses over ''[[Ranma One Half½]], [[Urusei Yatsura]],'' and ''[[Inuyasha]]''.
* ''[[Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle]]'' has the characters jumping from [[Alternate Universe]] to [[Alternate Universe]] filled with [[CLAMP]] characters from their various series.
** Amusingly, save a select few examples, mostly as [[The Cameo|cameos]], the Alternate Universes are hardly ever populated by ''actual'' CLAMP characters, but [[Alternate Universe]] ''instances'' of them.
Line 123:
** It wasn't the first time - in fact, quite a few crossovers spanned the entire TGIF lineup from time to time, and even an occasional though less involving tie-in for all ABC weekly sitcoms during this period.
** There was also one that was linked by Steve Urkel. He ends one episode of ''[[Family Matters]]'' by blasting through the Winslow's roof in a jet pack, and he crashes into the Lambert's roof at the beginning of the an episode of ''[[Step by Step]]'' where the plot centers around him. I forget if any other shows were connected as well.
* A very simple one, but the ''iStart A Fan War'' episode of ''[[ICarlyiCarly]]'' included characters from [[Drake and Josh]] and [[Zoey 101]], helping to fill out the [[Nick Verse]].
* ''[[A Muppet Family Christmas]]'' included characters from all Muppet-related programmes: ''[[The Muppet Show]]'', ''[[Sesame Street]]'', ''[[Fraggle Rock]]'' and even ''[[Muppet Babies]]''.
** Its conclusion even featured [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|a brief cameo of Jim Henson as himself]].
Line 192:
* ''Tales of the World'', Namco's set of [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover]] games for their ''[[Tales (series)]]''. One bonus, though, is that the ''Narikiri Dungeon'' heroes' ability to dress as any ''[[Tales (series)|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.
** A recent download introduces Taki and Mitsurugi from ''[[Soul Series|Soulcalibur]]'' for use as well.
** ''Tales of VS'' has recently been announced. It's a [[Fighting Game]] that we have been told is going to have a total of 35 characters from 13 different ''[[Tales (series)|Tales]]'' games. So far only 8 have been announced. They are: Stahn Aileron and Mighty Kongman from ''[[Tales of Destiny]]'', Kratos Aurion from ''[[Tales of Symphonia]]'', Richter Abend from ''[[Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World]]'', Luke fon Fabre and Anise Tatlin from ''[[Tales of the Abyss]]'', Shing Meteoryte from ''[[Tales of Hearts]]'', and Yuri Lowell from ''[[Tales of Vesperia]]''.
** ''[[Tales of Hearts]]'' itself is a borderline example. The cameo summons are somewhere between the trope and a very prominent [[Shout-Out]].
* As noted above, ''[[Astro Boy]]: Omega Factor'' for the GBA contains characters from many of Osamu Tezuka's works. You gain levels by meeting new characters.
Line 271:
** The [[Kickassia|Two Year Anniversary]] is another huge crossover event. And in turn, it allowed some once-in-a-lifetime crossovers as by this point, quite a few reviewers are from around the world.
** In 2011, things repeated. Y Ruler of Time used MAGFest to do another multiple reviewer crossover (''[[The Last Airbender]]'', with [[Todd in the Shadows]], [[Jesu Otaku]] and [[Rollo T]], plus various cameos). And Year Three had a [[Suburban Knights|crossover series]] and various individual joint reviews (Todd even opens [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/specials/31178-bmbssm his one] saying that the trip means crossovers... and gets shot down by three people before [[Bad Movie Beatdown|Film Brain]] accepts to watch a movie with him).
* How about '''''[[Trope Namer|The]]''' [[Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny (bandsong)|Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny]]'' flash video? Good guys; bad guys; explosions as far as the eye can see. Way too many pop culture icons to count.
* [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=867cnxpqmkkzb2bjc06knmpe&page=1 This] roleplay, taking place right here on our own forums. ''[[Princess Tutu]], [[Naruto]], [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]], [[The Legend of Zelda]], [[No More Heroes]]'', and ''[[Discworld]]''- and that's just for starters.
** [[The Massive Multi Fandom RPG|It has its own page now]]. Although technically I'd say it's more of a [[Mega Crossover]].
