| Demographic-Dissonant Crossover | comment |
When a franchise meant for an older demographic with copious amounts of swearing, erotica, violence and gore, and other such mature nastiness that isn't for children to witness crosses over with another franchise meant for a general audience with hardly any of those things, it results in the creation of a Demographic-Dissonant Crossover. To avoid controversy from Moral Guardians, the adult-oriented property is often Bowdlerised, especially with characters from those properties becoming Badbutts. Though the reverse also tends to be true, where the child-oriented property is made Darker and Edgier or Ruder and Cruder to Avoid the Dreaded G Rating. However, this may result in fans of the edited property being alienated by the changes. This is a common issue with a Demographic-Dissonant Crossover, as often times fans of one property will be satisfied while fans of the other property will be angry. It can be extremely difficult, if not outright impossible, to please everyone. Some of the more contentious examples of Demographic-Dissonant Crossovers (among the fandom) have an Audience-Alienating Premise as a result. This is quite common in Fan Works, as the world of fanfiction gives aspiring writers the ability to combine whatever franchises they are fans of without copyright or trademark concerns as long as the fanfiction creator doesn't profit from the fan works nor deprive the creators of the original works of revenue. Fan works, naturally, do not have to worry about adhering to network standards, and can make the child-oriented properties as "adult" as they wish to a certain degree, without attracting lawyers from the creators of the original properties, who may fear that the fan works could ruin the reputation if they become sufficiently popular and later implement a Fanwork Ban. Official such crossovers happen occasionally, and they can work surprisingly well if the tonal dissonance is kept under control—for one famous example, The Punisher agreeing ahead of time not to kill anyone in Riverdale is what allows Archie Meets the Punisher to work as well as it does. If the crossover takes place in the show or series catering to the younger Demographic, expect The Theme Park Version or Lighter and Softer version of the character(s). Note that if a work happens to be suitable for children but is targeted to an older demographic and has official crossovers with works not suitable for children, it does not count - as an example, the XCOM Squad from the M-rated XCOM: Enemy Unknown makes an appearance in the Brave New World expansion for Civilization V, which is rated E10+ but is squarely aimed at adult gamers on account of its complex strategic gameplay and mature presentation of world history. There's a reason why this trope isn't called "Age-Rating-Dissonant Crossover". Demographic-Dissonant Crossovers are often a Gateway Series for the mature works that cross over into it. A Sub-Trope of Weird Crossover. A Super-Trope to "Sesame Street" Cred, specifically in the cases creators of adult-oriented media make a cameo on a kids' show, and So My Kids Can Watch when those creators make a cameo on a kids' show to show to their own children. Compare and contrast the similarly named Demographically Inappropriate Humour, as well as Misaimed Merchandising and Story-Breaker Team-Up. |

Three skits (one about the letter W, one about body parts, and one about brushing teeth) featured characters from Happy Days (Fonzie was in all three and Richie also featured in the tooth-brushing skit). While Happy Days isn't an adult show, it contains risqué jokes that make it more suitable for around middle school age and up. | |

A Loud Among Demons is a crossover between the child-friendly The Loud House and the incredibly adult Helluva Boss. It's lampshaded when Loona from the latter series finds out that the worst thing Lincoln from the former show ever did above ground was breaking his dad's trophy. | |

PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale mostly drew characters from games aimed at teenagers and adults, such as Metal Gear and God of War, and which are varying degrees of violent and gory. However, a few of the games represented, such as Ape Escape, Parappa The Rapper, and LittleBigPlanet, are targeted toward preteens or even younger audiences. The violence in those games rarely goes beyond cartoonish slapstick, which creates quite a contrast when Sackboy is slapping Kratos around. The game's stages invoke this dissonance; all of them consist of game worlds merging, including some crossover Sugar Apocalypses played straight (witness the monstrous Hydra from God of War corrupting the vibrant toon world of Ratchet & Clank into a grim storm) and inverted (the Ape Escape monkeys turning the Real Is Brown battlefields of Killzone anything but brown). | |

LEGO Dimensions is full of LEGO version of properties that are meant for wildly different age demographics. From kid-friendly fare like The Wizard of Oz, Scooby-Doo and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, to adult-oriented franchises suitable for teens and older like The A-Team, The Simpsons and The Lord of the Rings, to all-ages franchises like Back to the Future, Doctor Who, and Beetlejuice. | |

From Flash-Gitz Animation: "Racist Mario" revolves around Mario deciding to purge Mario Kart of all the non-Nintendo characters due to his Fantastic Racism against them. He eventually meets his match when Kratos shows up, culminating in a Colossus Climb when Mario eats Toad's mushroom head for a Power-Up and Kratos scales his gargantuan form, gouges his eyes out, and bangs Peach and Daisy as his reward. "Kratos vs. Elsa". Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Kratos and Atreus try to kill Elsa due to Kratos' homophobia and Elsa being a gay icon. Turns out it was actually a Secret Test of Character, as Kratos wanted to see if Atreus was tolerant of gay people. When Atreus fires his arrow at Elsa, Kratos decides that he failed the test. |

Smash Remix, a Game Mod for Super Smash Bros. 64, adds several more characters on top of the original game's 12-character roster. While most of the new additions hail from games rated E and rated T, among them is Conker, specifically based off of his appearance in Conker's Bad Fur Day, a game that is known for being very vulgar and inappropriate for children, though the content included isn't particularly vulgar. Also included is content from Perfect Dark (the dataDyne Central stage), GoldenEye 007 (the Golden Gun), and Doom 64 (the Spawned Fear stage), all three being gritty FPS games. | |

Many crossovers in the franchise are this due to the inclusion of Kamen Rider Shin from Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue. While most Kamen Rider instalments have dark and serious themes, they're still aimed at young audiences and can be goofy at times, whereas Shin comes from a movie aimed at an adult audience that contains gruesome imagery, a nude scene, and no lighthearted moments. This is amplified in any crossover including their Lighter and Softer sister series Super Sentai. | |

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, in addition to bringing back all veteran characters in the series (including Snake and Bayonetta), added Joker from Persona 5, a game drenched in sex, blood, violence and profanity, as its second DLC fighter (and first from the Fighters' Pass). Unlike Snake, Joker actually gets to wield a fairly realistic model pistol as part of his moveset (with the attack in question simply called "Gun") - this was jarring enough to players that the line "For his Neutral Special, he wields a gun." from his Content Approaching trailer (April 2019) would become a meme. In addition to this, several of the DLC Mii costumes are based on characters from adult-oriented games as well, such as Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes), Dragonborn (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim) and Doom Slayer (Doom). Spirits of Resident Evil characters were also made available, and Yuri Kozukata from Fatal Frame is an Assist Trophy. Lastly, many of the introduced characters hail from T-rated games with a higher degree of violence and/or fanservice elements than others, such as Castlevania (Simon and Richter), Tekken (Kazuya) and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Pyra and Mythra). | |

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Though The DCU had been telling "mature" stories with their properties even back then, having them crossover into the infamously violent Mortal Kombat franchise still seems like a strange choice for an actual installment. DC didn't want to depict their characters getting dismembered (at the time), so this is the only mainline Mortal Kombat game with a T rating. Later, the Injustice games would have Mortal Kombat characters as guest fighters, and conversely, Mortal Kombat 11 included the Joker as DLC. In both cases, the games retained their respective age rating. | |

Sesame Street is aimed at kids of preschool and early elementary school age, but there have been a few appearances of characters from works for older people: Three skits (one about the letter W, one about body parts, and one about brushing teeth) featured characters from Happy Days (Fonzie was in all three and Richie also featured in the tooth-brushing skit). While Happy Days isn't an adult show, it contains risqué jokes that make it more suitable for around middle school age and up. One skit involves the characters C-3P0 and R2-D2 from Star Wars visiting. Star Wars is kid-friendly, but is a bit too violent for kids that young; it's more suitable for ages seven and up. The remake of the song "Monster In The Mirror" features many celebrities who were very popular at the time the song was produced, including an appearance from The Simpsons, which is a series MUCH too adult for Sesame Street's audience of children. A particularly noteworthy example of this trope is a Game of Thrones skit where Elmo asks Cersei and Tyrion Lannister to be more respectful and work with others. Game of Thrones is a show that's way too inappropriate for young kids watching Sesame Street since the former series is famously filled with violence (though not particularly Gorny), foul language and especially sexual content. |

Fortnite is a bright, colorful, lighthearted T-rated shooter, and most of its crossover content falls into a similar tone. However, there's plenty of content from mature franchises available as well, including John Wick, Rick and Morty, Resident Evil, Invincible (2021), The Walking Dead (2010), Family Guy, Metal Gear, Alien, Predator, Doom, The Witcher, Terminator, Dead Space, Alan Wake, Evil Dead, Halloween, God of War, Halo, RoboCop, Bad Boys (1995), Attack on Titan, and more. On the other end, The Nightmare Before Christmas's Jack Skellington stands out in the game as a character from a PG-rated Disney family film. | |

The German version of MAD had numerous cases of this with its pages covering animated media, such as the general audience-aimed SpongeBob SquarePants with the adult-oriented Happy Tree Friends. In general, while most of its pages about animated media include only family-friendly works, they tend to feature a decent amount of slapstick-style gore, as well as occasional sexual content. | |

Super Robot Wars is a crossover series that involves pulling Humongous Mecha and their pilots from various Super Robot and Real Robot shows. Many of these shows target wildly different demographics, although the games usually aim for teens and older, so any adult themes are usually toned down. For example, in Super Robot Wars X you have series aimed at children like the Mashin Hero Wataru Series, Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water and The Brave Express Might Gaine alongside series that target older demographics like Code Geass, Mobile Suit Crossbone Gundam, and Cross Ange. (In fact, part of X's Fix Fic interpretation of Cross Ange hinges on its characters being paired with and consequently influenced by Wataru's innocent Saturday-Morning Cartoon tone.) | |

Kengan itself also had a non-canon crossover with Street Fighter, which never ventured in its depiction of fighting and violence anywhere close to the bloody and gory manner Kengan had. | |

In its first two entries (Super Smash Bros. 64 and Super Smash Bros. Melee), the series was a Massively Multiplayer Crossover that only featured characters from Nintendo's own franchises, the vast majority of which are child-friendly E/E10+-rated video game series, such as Donkey Kong, Kirby, Mario, and Pokémon. Melee is rated T for Teen, but all games represented here were at the time rated for all ages (E for Everyone). Though many of Samus Aran's games are T-rated, they were all released after Melee, so the presence of Metroid didn't raise any eyebrows, and only displayed this trope from Brawl onwards (as it was the first to show Samus in her "Zero Suit" persona); the same applies to the characters from the often T-rated Fire Emblem series (as none of their games were even available stateside until 2003). | |

Kamen Rider: Many crossovers in the franchise are this due to the inclusion of Kamen Rider Shin from Shin Kamen Rider: Prologue. While most Kamen Rider instalments have dark and serious themes, they're still aimed at young audiences and can be goofy at times, whereas Shin comes from a movie aimed at an adult audience that contains gruesome imagery, a nude scene, and no lighthearted moments. This is amplified in any crossover including their Lighter and Softer sister series Super Sentai. Kamen Rider × Super Sentai: Chou Super Hero Taisen includes a brief appearance from the protagonists of the Kamen Rider Amazons spin-off web series, which is also aimed at adult audiences, containing many graphic and bloody fight scenes and heavier themes than the usual affair Super Sentai and Kamen Rider tend to deal with. They also reappear in other crossover media still aimed at younger audiences such as video games or stage shows. Kamen Rider Saber + Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger Super Hero Senki has a cameo from the Hikonin Sentai Akibaranger team, a comedic spin-off aimed at adult audiences due to its raunchy humor and more adult jokes. |

Super Smash Bros. Brawl would be the start of non-Nintendo guest fighters joining the roster, with the very first one announced being Solid Snake from Metal Gear, an M-rated series notorious for its realistic depictions of the horrors of war and violence, sex, profanity, tobacco usage, and political conspiracy storylines. Snake's Brawl arsenal is conspicuously limited to mines, grenades and similar explosive weapons rather than anything that shoots bullets, and while he ordinarily smokes like a chimney, No Smoking is in full effect here. | |

The long-running high-school comedy series Archie Comics notoriously crossed over with Marvel's brutal vigilante The Punisher in 1994's Archie Meets the Punisher, well before Archie's later turn to routinely producing adult-oriented horror and soap opera titles. Archie characters have since crossed over with other IPs that clash with their family-friendly image such as Predator (in Archie vs. Predator and Archie vs. Predator II) and Sharknado. | |

A particularly noteworthy example of this trope is a Game of Thrones skit where Elmo asks Cersei and Tyrion Lannister to be more respectful and work with others. Game of Thrones is a show that's way too inappropriate for young kids watching Sesame Street since the former series is famously filled with violence (though not particularly Gorny), foul language and especially sexual content. | |

Infinity Train: Blossomverse is a crossover between Pokémon: The Series and Infinity Train, which are both family-friendly works (albeit the latter tending to deal with heavier topics). However, all the stories have its characters encounter characters from more mature works like Hazbin Hotel during their journeys, visit train cars that are mirrors of locations like Silent Hill, and there are additional references and shout-outs to everything from Uzumaki to Fatal Frame. | |

Young Justice features an appearance from the adult-oriented character Lobo. While this wouldn't be too unusual for the Audience Shifted post-cancelation seasons, this was back when the show was still airing on Cartoon Network. | |

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U one-upped Brawl with the inclusion of the title character from Bayonetta as its final DLC character. Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai admitted it was difficult to tone down a character so overtly sexual in a way that still stayed true to their source material without affecting Smash's own age rating. | |

Shattered Skies: The Morning Lights crosses over five series that run the gamut of the Magical Girl genre spectrum, from the pure and lighthearted innocence of Cardcaptor Sakura to the dark psychological drama and Cosmic Horror of Madoka Magica... and the dissonance is part of the point. | |

One particularly common crossover in fan works is crossing over the lighthearted and family-friendly My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic series with the silly, yet still M-rated and bloody First-Person Shooter Team Fortress 2. There are countless fanfics, fan art, and MLP:FiM inspired maps and Game Mods for TF2. | |

Cartoons in Danganronpa: Asides from the fact that the series is based around the mature Danganronpa franchise, most of the characters involved are from series aimed at or are at least appropriate for children, with the glaring exceptions of South Park and Rick and Morty. It gets lampshaded in the "Teaching Charlotte French" short when Dib notices that Kyle, Cartman, and Morty all swear more often than anyone else. | |

The Silver Raven is this due to being a Fusion Fic between The Owl House and Devil May Cry series. The former is a series that, despite being a Horror Comedy, is still very much intended for younger audiences. The Devil May Cry series, meanwhile, is aimed at older audiences and has far more visceral action, language, and blood. | |

Tokimeki PokéLive! and TwinBee is a crossover between the all-ages Pokémon franchise with a focus on the games, the lighthearted Seinen Love Live! franchise (Even though LL! has a Periphery Demographic of young girls in East Asian countries, particularly Japan.), the Dating Sim series Tokimeki Memorial and the Twinbee series of Cute 'em Ups. But it also has a dose of grittiness added in the form of characters using swear words (especially Mia Taylor), various apocalypses mentioned throughout the series (even if most of them can be prevented at least), Special Stories going for a more psychological feel, and a more mature feel overall thanks to topics like adoption and climate change being mentioned, which are otherwise absent in most official entries of the franchises involved in the crossover. In addition, there are also Shout-Outs to franchises aimed at adults like Rambo, Terminator, Mortal Kombat, The Simpsons, Family Guy and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure splattered throughout the fanfic series, which contrast the ones towards family-friendly franchises such as The Legend of Zelda, Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario Bros. and Ruby-Spears Mega Man. | |

The Forza Horizon series, a racing game series aimed at all ages with real-world licensed cars, features a few crossover fictional cars from intellectual properties spanning all age demographics. For example, Forza Horizon 4 has cars from the kid-orientated Hot Wheels and LEGO toy brands (as well as a DLC world based on the latter), the Teen-rated James Bond series and Final Fantasy XV, and the M-rated Halo series and Cyberpunk 2077. | |

The LEGO Batman Movie (which is aimed towards families) contains references to all different Batman media, where it's all implied to happen in the same universe, from the Darker and Edgier Dark Knight Trilogy and DC Extended Universe to the campy Adam West TV series. But where the film plays this the most straight is when the prisoners from the Phantom Zone are revealed to be famous antagonists from many well-known works of fiction. Most of the works represented are at least appropriate for children, such as The Wizard of Oz, King Kong, and Harry Potter. One notable exception, however, is the presence of Agent Smith and his clones from the R-rated The Matrix movies, as well as the shark from Jaws, though he is used as the punchline for a joke. | |

Transformers is a series for the most part aimed at children, and even installments and products aimed at adults are still appropriate for older children and teens. This makes it surprising that there exists an official crossover with Neon Genesis Evangelion, with the release of an Optimus Prime in the colors of the Eva Unit-01, accompanied by a short story about the ghost of Starscream possessing an angel and Optimus helping NERV defeat him. | |

Super Smash Bros.: In its first two entries (Super Smash Bros. 64 and Super Smash Bros. Melee), the series was a Massively Multiplayer Crossover that only featured characters from Nintendo's own franchises, the vast majority of which are child-friendly E/E10+-rated video game series, such as Donkey Kong, Kirby, Mario, and Pokémon. Melee is rated T for Teen, but all games represented here were at the time rated for all ages (E for Everyone). Though many of Samus Aran's games are T-rated, they were all released after Melee, so the presence of Metroid didn't raise any eyebrows, and only displayed this trope from Brawl onwards (as it was the first to show Samus in her "Zero Suit" persona); the same applies to the characters from the often T-rated Fire Emblem series (as none of their games were even available stateside until 2003). Super Smash Bros. Brawl would be the start of non-Nintendo guest fighters joining the roster, with the very first one announced being Solid Snake from Metal Gear, an M-rated series notorious for its realistic depictions of the horrors of war and violence, sex, profanity, tobacco usage, and political conspiracy storylines. Snake's Brawl arsenal is conspicuously limited to mines, grenades and similar explosive weapons rather than anything that shoots bullets, and while he ordinarily smokes like a chimney, No Smoking is in full effect here. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U one-upped Brawl with the inclusion of the title character from Bayonetta as its final DLC character. Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai admitted it was difficult to tone down a character so overtly sexual in a way that still stayed true to their source material without affecting Smash's own age rating. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, in addition to bringing back all veteran characters in the series (including Snake and Bayonetta), added Joker from Persona 5, a game drenched in sex, blood, violence and profanity, as its second DLC fighter (and first from the Fighters' Pass). Unlike Snake, Joker actually gets to wield a fairly realistic model pistol as part of his moveset (with the attack in question simply called "Gun") - this was jarring enough to players that the line "For his Neutral Special, he wields a gun." from his Content Approaching trailer (April 2019) would become a meme. In addition to this, several of the DLC Mii costumes are based on characters from adult-oriented games as well, such as Travis Touchdown (No More Heroes), Dragonborn (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim) and Doom Slayer (Doom). Spirits of Resident Evil characters were also made available, and Yuri Kozukata from Fatal Frame is an Assist Trophy. Lastly, many of the introduced characters hail from T-rated games with a higher degree of violence and/or fanservice elements than others, such as Castlevania (Simon and Richter), Tekken (Kazuya) and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (Pyra and Mythra). |
