Master Chief like Snake could have a very tactical move set using the many weapons in his arsenal.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Banjo can be considered an exception since he used to belong to Nintendo, Master Chief appearing in <em>Smash<\/em> is pretty much the equivalent of a crossover between Marvel and DC.

Also, the fan crossovers between <em>Doom<\/em> and <em>Animal Crossing<\/em> are humorous and it would be a sight to see if Isabelle and Doom Slayer are side by side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Geno<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"780\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/geno.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/geno.jpg 780w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/geno-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/geno-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From: <em>Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Possibility: 50\/50<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the character that hardcore Nintendo fans want the most, to the point of director <a href=\"https:\/\/sourcegaming.info\/2016\/02\/21\/nintendodream3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Masahiro Sakurai acknowledging it (opens in a new tab)\">Masahiro Sakurai acknowledging it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Super Mario RPG<\/em> is a beloved game from the 16-bit era and Geno was a character people fell in love with.

It just didn&#8217;t feel right leaving one of these characters out.
