Here's a shake up for Zelda....and Metroid....and Mario.

I know this is going to sound incredibly stupid. But hey...so did Smash Brothers when it came out.

What if all three appeared in the same game? Maybe it could be tongue in cheek. Imagine using each character's abilities in the other's home turf. Maybe they are all racing to rescue the same item and they ahve to fight eachother along the way.

 I always thought it'd be cool to do a Smash Bros. Esqe Crossover for an RPG. It worked well for Kingdom Hearts and Disney Characters.

Except it didn't work.  On paper (and according to sales and the fact that everyone loved it) it worked.  But I thought that the game relied to heavily on bad Disney movies.  The move set was great...and the main characters were great.  The real time RPG elements were a welcome relief to the Final Fantasy formula; but ultimately I hate playing the game becuase I don't care about Tarzan or Aladdin. 

How RPG would you make it?  I mean, what elements of a role playing game would you give this crossover?
