10 Most Baffling Crossovers In Video Game History

5. Everybody's Golf 2's Guest Players

Everybody's Golf - or Hot Shots Golf if you're wrong and from North America - was a pretty innocuous series of crazy golf games released in the late nineties which somehow gained a cult following. With a cartoon art style, gameplay that was arcadey as hell and a variety of different game modes that only got wackier as the series wore on, the releases gained recognition at the start for their inclusion of guest golfers.

It started with the second game, which lumped in Gex the Gecko, Twisted Metal's Sweet Tooth and Sir Dan from MediEvil - all dressed up in their most spiffing golfing attire. The Playstation characters certainly brought a larger spotlight to the game, and were admittedly pretty damn funny inclusions to see scoring double bogeys on the hardest holes.

Intentionally picking the strangest guest players possible and dressing them up to the nines, the second release started a trend which sadly waned in later releases as the titles became recognised more for their surprisingly damn fine gameplay. Still, that doesn't detract from the joy that was had by players trying to figure out whether Sir Dan had it in him to drive a ball over 300 yards.
