-'''Sega Games Co., Ltd.''' (also referred to and stylized as '''SEGA''') is a Japanese video game developer and publisher, headquartered in Tokyo, Japan.

 ''{{wp|Super Monkey Ball (video game)|Super Monkey Ball}}'' marked the first post-''Sonic'' appearance of a SEGA game on a Nintendo console, specifically the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. Since then, both SEGA and Nintendo have collaborated on several projects. Their first effort resulted in [[f-zerowiki:F-Zero GX|''F-Zero GX'']] and [[f-zerowiki:F-Zero AX|''AX'']]. The two companies later teamed up to create a crossover game featuring both Mario and Sonic, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', which generated the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series. Sonic also appeared as a playable character in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. He appeared with another fellow Sega character, [[Bayonetta]] who has appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. [[Joker]], a character from Sega subsidiary {{wp|Atlus}}, is also playable in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' as DLC. Aside from the ''Mario & Sonic'' series and the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Sonic has made cameo appearances in the Mario universe. By using a Sonic [[amiibo]], players can unlock an outfit based on Sonic in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' (and their [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|respective]] [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe|ports]]), as well as in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. [[SonicRetro:Yoshi's Island Zone|Yoshi's Island Zone]] is a downloadable level in the Wii U version of ''[[SonicRetro:Sonic Lost World|Sonic Lost World]]'' which features Sonic in [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]].
