1. The video games also feature new stories not present in the anime or manga (two separate mediums, btw).

 

2. So does that rule apply to other Dragon Ball characters? Because there are a number of video game-exclusive characters. Android/Majin 21, for example, has appeared first and only in video games. Is she anime despite never appearing in one? And if not, what ramifications does that hold for the rest of the cast?

 

3. Spiderman hasn't appeared in over 80 video games.

You are correct. Not over 80. But this is a pretty impressive amount. This is more games than Bayonetta has appeared in.

Spiderman for Smash.

Bayonetta has one anime and three games, not counting remakes or Smash.

 

Spiderman has countless comic, cartoon, and movie appearances. I think the ratio isn't going to pan out the way you think.
