'''{{wp|Ubisoft|Ubisoft Entertainment}}''' (formally '''Ubi Soft Entertainment Software''') is a French video game company headquartered in {{wp|Saint-Mandé}}, {{wp|France}}. The company was founded by Christian, Claude, Gérard, Michel, and Yves Guillemot, and it has developed games from numerous franchises, including ''{{wp|Rayman}}'', ''{{wp|Assassin's Creed}}'', ''{{wp|Just Dance (video game series)|Just Dance}}'', and ''{{wp|Prince of Persia}}''.

 

Ubisoft has developed and published several games for [[Nintendo]] consoles. This relationship between the companies eventually led to the [[Mario + Rabbids (series)|''Mario + Rabbids'' series]], a series of games crossing over Nintendo's [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] with Ubisoft's {{wp|Rabbids|''Rabbids'' franchise}}.

 

==''Mario + Rabbids'' series==

Ubisoft has published the ''Super Mario'' and ''Rabbids'' crossover game ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]'' outside Japan, and the game has been developed by its Milan and Paris studios. Within Japan, it is published by Nintendo. The game has been successful commercially, becoming one of the best-selling third-party games on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. This would then lead to a sequel called ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', also developed and published by Ubisoft outside Japan. ''Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope'' is compatible with Ubisoft's {{wp|Ubisoft Connect}} service, and the Ubisoft character [[Rayman]] prominently appears in the [[Rayman in the Phantom Show]] downloadable content for that game.

The Japanese-exclusive release ''{{wp|Just Dance Wii}}'' and the [[Wii]] version of ''{{wp|Just Dance 3}}'' feature an exclusive track named "Just Mario" with the artist credited as "Ubisoft meets Nintendo." The song is a rearrangement of the [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and its backing video depicts Mario interacting with various elements from the game. This track returned in the Nintendo Switch version of ''{{wp|Just Dance 2018}}''.<ref>Just Dance (October 20, 2017).
