Big Daddy is in Playstation All Star Battle Royale with Raiden from Metal Gear. Snake from Metal Gear is in Smash.
Uncharted through PlayStation All-Stars which connects them to a lot of franchises.
Last of Us enemies appeared in Diablo which has a link to Mario.
Thread title specified highest profile, and Knack is absolutely not high profile anything except maybe getting dumped on ):
What about the Tom Clancy games? I can't think of any links to Mario. Same with Fallout & The Elder Scrolls.
Not sure about the others, but you can get the Master Sword in the Switch version of Skyrim. Easy connection to Mario from there.
Oh yeah. I forgot about Zelda content in the Switch version of Skyrim.
Oh I just of couple others with no link. Prince of Persia & Need For Speed.
...Wow, I really didn't think there would anything connecting these games to Mario. Especially Need For Speed.
With Spawn appearing in Mortal Kombat 11 and him being a guest in Soulcalibur 2, as Link, now Mario is linked to the MK universe, along with a bunch of horror films and the DC comics universe.
If Terminator is in MK11, Mario would be linked to Gears of War and whatever other games had Terminator stuff shown in this year's E3.

I was gonna say Warcraft, but
Warcraft characters in Heroes of the Storm
Diablo characters in Heroes of the Storm
Diablo Switch version with Zelda content
Zelda in Smash
Mario in Smash
Warcraft characters in Heroes of the Storm
Diablo characters in Heroes of the Storm
Diablo Switch version with Zelda content
Zelda in Smash
Mario in Smash
This got a smile out of me. Well done.
Took some digging, but Infamous Second Son has this:
Going from Infamous to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale should bring us to Mario relatively quickly.
Sam fisher is in Academy of Champions: Soccer, along with Rabbids, who were in Mario Vs Rabbids.
Elder Scrolls has one of the spheres from Portal in it, which is the same universe as Half Life. There's a headcrab in Super Meat Boy, as is commander video, who is in smash.
Can't remember the fallout connection just yet, but pretty sure there is one.
Wow I actually had that game as a kid & somehow didn't know it had Sam Fisher.
Lol this thread reminds me of the "Ryu factor" people used to bring up
Ryu tryna pick a fight with everyone.

I don't know about that. Call of Duty features Richard Nixon in Black Ops. He's also a character in Nuclear War for the Amiga, which also features Mahatma Gandhi. Ghandi connects to Civilisation, and the Civ to Mario connection's already been pointed out earlier in the thread. I believe that it was something along the lines of Civ connecting to Assassin's Creed via Leonardo Da Vinci, then from AC you went to Rayman, and Rayman's a spirit in Smash.
While not Madden NFL, Ryo Hazuki (Shenmue) is in ESPN NFL 2k4. Follow the link from there.
You are overthinking this. Metal Gear Solid follows the same timeline as the real world up to the nineties. Nixon, therefore, is part of Metal Gear canon. Snake is in Smash Bros. Therefore, Nixon is in the Mario Universe, which means Call of Duty is part of the lore as well.
I must have skipped the history lesson where we learned about the events of MGS3, Peace Walker and MGS5.
You think the feds would admit to the fact that they almost nuked the entire world on faulty information? They're hiding the truth fam.
But really, Nixon is mentioned by name in Peace Walker.
Did nobody get GTA yet?
In San Andreas there are figures in shops of Max Payne characters.
In Max Payne there are Duke Nukem 3D mouse mats.
Duke Nukem series has like a billion references to other IPs and games.

1) Everybody's Golf PS4 had a Final Fantasy crossover at one point, and, as is established, Final Fantasy is Mario.
2) Piposaru appears in the PS4 version of Super Bomberman R, Bomberman crossed over with Wario in Wario Blast.
Also here's the best I got for GTA:
1) South Park had an episode where Cartman was obsessed with GTA Chinatown Wars
2) South Park had an episode parodying The Simpsons
3) The Simpsons (which parodied South Park at a few spots) coined the word "Embiggen"
4) The SMM2 Direct used "Embiggen"
...It's a stretch.

And that's what I get for never starting this game when I had it.
So, apart from Bas Rutten and Iggy Pop, here's a more solid GTA connection:
Funkmaster Flex was DJ on The Beat 102.7 (GTA 4)
Was in Def Jam Vendetta and ICON with a lot of folks
that were also in Def Jam Fight For New York with Snoop Dogg
who was in Tekken Tag Tournament 2 - and the rest
So at least 3 real connections to GTA
I think the new answer is Euro Truck Simulator.

You're also overthinking this
Tony Hawk's Underground 2 features a COD soldier, Spider-Man was in Pro Skater 2, Marvel vs Capcom.
Can even do Darth Maul in Tony Hawk, then Soul Calibur and Link.
I dont think he was questioning if there was an Ape Escape connection because really there are quite a few. Outside of what you mentioned, the Apes showed up in Metal Gear Solid 3, so that links to Smash. They're also in Playstation All Stars, so that's another Metal Gear link.
Incidentally it also ropes in Monster Rancher since the apes were a guest monster at one point.
Many players from FIFA appear in Football Manager. The manager from Football Manager was in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. Sonic is in Smash.
Gears of War characters had a cameo in Lost Planet 2, along with Frank West, who was in Marvel vs Capcom, along with various characters that appeared in Smash.
The Sims is part of the same universe as Sim City. Sim City had Bowser in it.
Will wright the creator of the Sims ( also a character in the snes version of Sim City ) is a assist trophy in Smash Ultimate as Dr.wright
This reminds me of a game I played with some friends, we have to link an argentinian actor with a Hollywood actor, so you had to chain several actors together to reach the goal.
They secret key was that an actor worked with Al Pacino in Carlito's Way, once everyone recalled that movie the game broke.

Assuming the rumors hold true, Terminator is gonna be in MK11, which also has Spawn who appeared in Soul Calibur II along with Link.
The Sims 4 has Star Wars cosmetics in it, which can be connected to Mario through Soul Calibur or Tony Hawk.
Has had a crossover with Resident Evil, characters from which appear in Marvel vs Capcom, along with Megaman, who is in Smash Bros.
The Suikoden games might be an island.
Assuming nobody counts Psycho Mantis reading your memory card data in MGS1 (and I don't - it just means it's a game in the MGS universe), there's no direct character crossover I can think of.
