There’s likely no stopping the juggernaut that isFortnite. The simple little free-to-play battle royale game has become a hit around the world thanks to its easy-to-grip gameplay, and the many unique crossover events that go on. Seriously, this game has crossed over with everyone and everything that it’s shocking my own mother hasn’t made an appearance.
The game has had the kinds of crossovers you might expect, DC, Marvel, and even Dragon Ball, but it’s had a few more that are head-scratchers like Ariana Grande, Punk’d, Ferrari, and even Monopoly. Some of those sound made up, but I swear it’s true, and we need a few more bizarre crossovers as soon as possible.
10Battletoads
I’ll admit that I just think it would be funny to see a group of overly muscular toads running around beating up people. Throwing theBattletoadsinto the game could provide a few fun switch-ups in gameplay, but I want to reiterate the most important thing: toads beating people up.
Rash, Zitz, and Pimple could be power-ups for only three players in the game, whichallow three players to work togethera get a win for the Battletoads — we all know they need one. Everyone would run in fear as, when the toads approached, so too would their theme music, signaling an incoming amphibian brawl.
9Mario Party
Exactly how aMario Partycrossover would work is a great question, but we all know it would be incredible. The game already destroys friendships with those bonus starsand hectic minigames, so throw those kinds of mechanics into matches at random to really make squads’ lives difficult.
It would be a hilarious way to even the playing field if the top-performing team or players were forced to roll a block dice above their head to determine how far they could move before rerolling. Let Bowser drop in and just ruin everyone’s day, and have all manner of Mario enemies running rampant.
8Mortal Kombat 1
Imagine it: you’ve got the game in the bag. You’ve blasted away everyone you’ve come across, and there’s only a handful of players remaining. The issue is that, suddenly, Lui Kang runs in and absolutely destroys you by pulling your leg off and beating you with it.
That is what Fortnite could be with this hilariously brutal crossover withMortal Kombat. Think of all the great skins and taunts that could be included too. We all know that “toasty,” and “get over here,” would be spammed relentlessly for the remainder of the games’ days.
7Taylor Swift
Look, I don’t even like Taylor Swift all that much, but I can tell you that this makes perfect sense. Her fans are so devoted that they’re willing to go see a version of her concert in a movie theatre and cause earthquakes wherever T-Swizz (I like to imagine that’s what she likes to be called) performs.
She doesn’t need to be some playable skin — although that would be far funnier than it would have any right to be; instead, she could have an in-game concert. Let’s be real, that kind of thing would skyrocket the player count and probably cause server issues all over the place.
6Pikmin 4
I’m not really sure what aPikmincrossover would look like in Fortnite, but I think those little creatures would be moving constructs whenever possible. Any player-made objects would be kept in play through the Pikmin, no matter how tight space got.
This would make for some of the most hectic final battles possible. Giving players the option to shoot the Pikmin to stop them would be a good idea, but who’d wanna do that to those cute little guys? Who knows? Maybe the Pikmin are actually good singers and they could do a music crossover just like Taylor Swift.
5Shovel Knight
You’ve got a lot of fun options in Fortnite, but what you don’t have as an option isShovel Knight. Who needs to build when you could do the complete opposite with the man with the fastest shovel in the kingdom?
That’s right, just letthe 2D platforming masterShovel Knight be a masterful deconstructor in the funniest way possible. Let him bunny-hop across the map on his shovel and destory anything he touches with a single hit. You’d have to fight him at a range, but the ever-growing shadow of that knight falling from the sky shovel-first would make that tough.
4Minecraft
Minecraftmight function incredibly similar to Fortnite in some respects, but that’s why the crossover would make so much sense. Just make Steve a meme of an upgrade that automaticallyconstructs massive objectsat the push of a button.
No one would even question it, especially if the structures were funny. It would be an easy way to get out of danger for the player lucky enough to get the power-up and a great way to keep players from being too frustrated if they got sniped from the top of a blocky dirt recreation of the DeLorean from Back to the Future.
3Doki Doki Literature Club
This game randomly became such a phenomenon that it’s almost a shock that it hasn’t crossed over with Fortnite. Sure,Doki Doki Literature Clubisa cute game hiding a horrendously twisted secret, but that’s why having Monika plague the game for all players would be great.
The various other little anime characters could be safe zones for players to visit, but they’d have to be careful to not spend too much time in the zones or things would get dangerous. Just pay that hilarious little tune from the game throughout entire matches and you’ve already got me sold.
2Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
This might not be as bizarre as it would be awesome. You don’t even need to let players have any impact on thePokemon— just have them populate the map with a few random legendaries swooping in for random events.
Have Mew pop out from under a truck, have Mewtwo throw squads on opposite sides of the map, and have legendary birds absolutely unleash havoc. Considering Pokemon gods have gotten a bit – extra – you could really do anything including having Arceus decide it wins the game instead.
1The Harlem Globetrotters
The most exciting event in basketball should absolutely come to Fortnite. We’ve already seen theNBApartner with it before (yes, really), so why not give players the ability to run around absolutely obliterating players with basketballs and dunking on fools?
The gameplay could function as an upgrade for a squad, and as long as it was accompanied by that iconic whistling tune, it would be hilariously horrifying. A single whistle would let you know that your time is short because a team of ballers is coming to turn you into their next three-point shot.
