Primarily through the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, Ganondorf has crossed over with the ''[[Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In each title, he was an unlockable playable character. In the first title, he was based off of his appearance in ''Ocarina of Time'' and in the second he was based off of his appearance in ''[[wikipedia:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Ganondorf appeared as an unlockable playable character, unlocked by clearing Event Match 29: Triforce Gathering and then defeating him in a one-on-one stock match. In both the event and the following fight, the player uses Link. Like Link and Zelda, in this title Ganondorf's appearance was based off of his design from ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''. Ganondorf's special and standard moves are similar to [[Captain Falcon|Captain Falcon's]], making Ganondorf the only character in ''Melee'' to share moves with a character from another series. Ganondorf's attacks are much slower than Falcon's, but they are much more powerful. He was voiced by [[Takashi Nagasako]], who previously voiced [[Donkey Kong]] in the ''[[Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]] series. | In ''Super Smash Bros.

Like fellow secret characters [[Jigglypuff]] and [[Pichu]], Ganondorf makes a cameo appearance in the title's introduction. His hand can be seen along with Link's and Zelda's, the one of the three Triforces glowing on each their hands. | ||

Ganondorf's attacks are much slower than Falcon's, but they are much more powerful. Though his official artwork portrayed him with a sword, Ganondorf only uses the sword in a taunt when he wins a match in one of the Melee modes. He was voiced by [[Takashi Nagasako]], who previously voiced [[Donkey Kong]] in the ''[[Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]] series. | |||
Ganondorf again appeared as an unlockable playable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. Players unlock him by clearing Classic Mode with [[Link]] or [[Zelda]] on hard difficulty, playing 200 Brawl matches, or having Ganondorf join the team in the Subspace Emissary (see [[#Role in the Subspace Emissary|Role in the Subspace Emissary]]). Additionally, his Final Smash, Beast Ganon, allows him to transform into his beast form from ''Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'', Ganon. | Ganondorf again appeared as an unlockable playable character in ''Super Smash Bros.

Afterward, the two travel to Master Hand. However, Ganondorf then betrays Bowser, using the only remaining [[Dark Cannon]] to reduce him to a trophy. Master Hand himself is seen to be controlled by [[Tabuu]], the embodiment of Subspace. Ganondorf, surprised at this revelation, leaps to attack the dark being, only to be turned into a trophy himself. When Bowser is revived by [[King Dedede]], he furiously attacks Ganondorf's trophy in an act of vengeance. [[Link]] and [[Zelda]] come across the trophy and revive him, forming a temporary alliance as all the characters prepare for the final battle against Tabuu. After every fighter is returned to normal, all of them, including Ganondorf, battle Tabuu, eventually defeating him. After Tabuu is destroyed, the world, save the island that held the subspace bomb factory, is returned from subspace. | Afterward, the two travel to Master Hand.
