Cranky Kong and Frieza share the same va in japan. (In the tv series)
The original Sims had an easter egg of Will Wright.
Will Wright was a Boss in The simpsons game (PS3/360 era).
The simpsons have crossed over with Family Guy.
Ryu fought the cast of family guy and american dad.
Ryu is in Smash Bros.
Will Write was also a character in Link's Awakening if I'm not mistaken, clearly based on Will Wright.
Also isn't there a Sim City Assist Trophy in Smash?
Dead Space? It would be funny to see Mario on the Ishimura, trying to find the princess only to find out....
Nice job! I thought I had a winner.
BTW, that Simpsons game was criminally underrated.
Was tempted to use Mr. Write and Dr. Wright for this, but i chose to close loopholes ("it's not really him!") by using his appearance in the Simpsons game.
Isaac was in Play station All stars Battle Royale
Heihachi Mishima was in PSASBR
Ryu has fought the cast of Tekken
Ryu is in smash bros.
Bowser is in wreck it ralph, you didn't even need to go that far
Oh my god, Project X Zone is an almost crazier connector than Smash Bros.
It's also easy to connect some games using Fighters Megamix since Sonic Fighters appear in that. Also includes the Daytona car as well as the AM2 palm tree, which I think should immediately qualify all AM2 games.
Ryu is the real crossover king, he connects to more games than Mario.
Anyway, GTA was a good one. Can't find any connections.

Officer Frank Tenpenny in GTA San Andreas is played by Samuel L Jackson
Samuel L Jackson plays Nick Fury in Iron Man 2: The Game
Iron Man is in Marvel vs Capcom 3, which pits Iron Man and other Marvel heroes against Capcom characters, including Ryu and Ken
Ryu and Ken are in Super Smash Bros.
Is it acceptable to use an out-of-universe example like the voice actor?
Call of Duty Zombies had Sarah Michelle Gellar as a playable character
Sarah Michelle Gellar was in the Scooby doo live action film
Matthew Lillard played Shaggy in the Scooby doo live action film
In Looney Tunes Back in Action, Scooby Doo and Shaggy (the original, cartoon ones) are seen scolding Matthew Lillard for his poor performance
Scooby Doo and Shaggy were defended in court by Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
Guile was part of the Harvey Birdman video game
Ryu has fought Guile
Ryu is in Smash Bros.
I may have found the evidence for linking GTA.
"Jack Marston's book, Red Dead, can be found in Franklin's home, and in the home of the GTA Online protagonist."
So, Red Dead is a part of the GTAverse.
"Okay, so, there's a side quest in Red Dead Redemption 2 called 'The Noblest of Men, and a Woman'. In it, you're tasked with tracking down a number of old gunslingers, and later in the game, the quest comes to an end when all of them have been found. You end up duelling one of the quest's main characters, and when you win, you get his revolver.
This revolver has 'Canis Canem Edit' engraved on both sides of the barrel, and the writing is clearly visible in the gun's compendium entry."
A direct connection to Bully.
And, in that:
"Ray Hughes can be heard saying "They say that kids imitate characters from video games, but I have yet to become a mustached plumber"
BOOM!
Mario is canonically a videogame in the GTAverse.
Either by the Red Dead link or the fact that the Bully school shows up in a TV show in GTA 4.

If that's the case, got another one for yall:
Short Version:
In GTA V there's a side mission where you're tasked on finding Bigfoot, upon completion you find out it's a dude in a suit
Bigfoot also makes an appearance in Assassin's Creed 3, similarly you find out it's a dude in a suit
You can get an Assassin's Creed costume in Rayman Legends
Rayman appears as a Spirit in Super Smash Bros Ultimate.
Alternate Version:
Bigfoot in GTA V
Bigfoot in AC3
Haytham, the antagonist of AC3, is shown as a child in AC4
You can get a costume from AC4 for Rayman Legends on the Wii U
Rayman appears in a spinoff game called Rayman Raving Rabbids
Rabbids have a crossover with Mario in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle for the Switch
Both Madden and NFL Blitz used the NFL license, thus there was overlap of players in both games
Raiden from Mortal Kombat was in NFL Blitz
Raiden was a guest character in Injustice 2, The TMNT were also in Injustice 2
Both the justice league and the TMNT have crossed over with the Power Rangers
Ryu has crossed over with the Power Rangers
Ryu is in Smash Bros.
by the way, this Twitter account might be handy for people in this thread:

Do these situations count though, where the game canonically exists in universe, even if the character themself doesn't? Because then we could say Nathan Drake once played Crash Bandicoot, who was in Skylanders, which also once featured Donkey Kong, who is from Mario, even though there is no situation where Nathan Drake and the actual animate entity Crash Bandicoot could interact. Or I could say that Kiryu Kazuma can win a figure of AiAi from Super Monkey Ball in a UFO catcher, AiAi has been in Sega All Stars Racing, with Sonic, who has been in Mario and Sonic, and thus link in Yakuza on merit of being a world where all these Sega games exist, even if none of the characters do.
Personally in mine im avoiding this, that's why the key in my Call of duty links was that Matthew Lillard appeared as himself interacting with Scooby and Shaggy as actual entities within the movie "Looney Tunes Back in action".
Crash and Spyro are both in Skylanders
DK and Bowser are in skylanders as of "Super Charged"
DK and Bowser and in Smash Bros.
Ryu is in Smash Bros.
Smash is a Mario property, and Ryu gets access to 70% of the game universes via Smash.
Mario verse is the dominant universe in the relationship, while Ryu himself is the character with the most direct links due to appearing in many fighting crossovers.
Ryu gets access to more franchise, even beyond videogames, by having appeared in Tatsunoko vs Capcom and Project X Zone than smash. The fact that Ryu is linked to the Super Robot Wars series via those games means he has ridiculously long list of anime franchises linked to him.
And then there is the fact that Ryu has linked Marvel and everything Marvel has crossed over with.
Ryu is a bigger central nexus than mario.
Considering Tycho from Penny Arcade appears in Poker Night at the Inventory, can characters that appeared in Penny Arcade the comic be factored in on this? Because that opens up a whoooole lot of possibilities.
I know fan fiction is not allowed obviously, but what about this situation?
I know fan fiction is not allowed obviously, but what about this situation?
i wonder if this works with characters that aren't video game characters, or do you have to do some creative thinking? Example:
Dagwood has appeared in Garfield comics before
Garfield has crossed over with the TMNT in a guest tribute strip
Both the justice league and the TMNT have crossed over with the Power Rangers
Ryu has crossed over with the Power Rangers
Ryu is in Smash Bros.

I know Dead Space is connected for sure. Issac Clark was in Playstation All Stars, which has Raiden, who links to Snake who links to Mario. Also Kratos who links to Shovel Knight who links to Mario. Also Heihachi who links to Ryu who links to Mario.
I came in thinking 'Doom,' but then I remembered Doomguy as an unlockable chracter in 'Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3' (the PC port anyways.) Which then links him to the Marvel characters that can be unlocked, which then links him to Ryu, and then to Smash.
Oh yeah, but I'd think the answer would be some larger western series, since those tend to cross over less. Can't really think of any thing with GTA. Japanese games tend to have lots of links due to mobile games. Capcom in particular loves throwing Ryu around
Call of Duty Ghosts had Predator DLC. Predator was in Mortal Kombat X. Kratos was in Mortal Kombat 9. Kratos links to Shovel Knight who links to Mario in Smash Bros. That or you could say Spawn is in MK11 who links to Soul Calibur which then links to Link who in turns links to Mario.....Or you could say that the MK characters link to DC characters due to Injustice or MK vs. DC, and Batman and Superman are in Puzzle & Dragons which have Ryu and Cloud which then links back to Smash again.

LEGO does't count because it's a distinct universe with unique incarnations of those characters. Likewise, Smash Bros is out because those are toys/figurines brought to life, not the actual characters.
I know you refer to a multiverse, but nothing whatsoever establishes a link between those distinct universes that happen to contain different representations of those characters. Without that you could just say "fuck it, Monopoly counts" and probably find your way to literally everything.
Granted, I'd wager most, of not all of the Smash and LEGO characters can be linked through more interesting routes, so it would be fun to see those. For example, Link connects to Soul Calibur which connects to you to all those guests and nets you a Street Fighter link.
Edit: (In further "no fun allowed" news, I'd also technically argue against Halo/DOA as it's canonical that the Spartan Nicole is from an alternate, unconnected universe. However, there's an extended workaround - the Hayabusa armor is implied to be based on Ryu's, and thus you can route through Ninja Gaiden.)

Well for Nathan Drake, we can just do his appearance in PlayStation All Stars. Which links him to Raiden. Who links to Snake.
