A [[wikipedia:crossover (fiction)|crossover]] is the placement of two or more otherwise discrete fictional characters, settings, or universes into the same context. ''MediEvil'' has had several crossovers, the major ones being ''[[wikipedia:Everybody's Golf 2|Everybody's Golf 2]]'', ''[[wikipedia:PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale|PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale]]'' and ''[[wikipedia:Wipeout Pure|wipEout purE]]''. Due to their nature as crossovers and the generally limited involvement of the ''MediEvil'' development teams in their creation, they are not considered a part of the canon. However, they should still be mentioned on relevant pages in an appropriate non-canon section. | A [[wikipedia:crossover (fiction)|crossover]] is the placement of two or more otherwise discrete fictional characters, settings, or universes into the same context.
