A Mascot RPG is a Role-Playing Game that brings together pre-established characters or mascots in a spin-off of a video game franchise typically of another genre (such as a Platform Game or First-Person Shooter) or from multiple franchises or properties in a Massive Multiplayer Crossover. It's basically the level-grinding, stats-oriented and turn-based sister to the Mascot Racer and the Mascot Fighter genres. These games often provide unique opportunities for game developers to give depth to their characters or worlds that cannot be as easily conveyed in mediums or genres that have more visual storytelling. A spin-off Mascot RPG will usually take a few gameplay elements from its parent franchise; for example, Super Mario RPG and other Mario roleplaying games feature Action Commands that are similar to the platforming elements in the Mario main series, while Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is an RPG that makes having cover and elevation key gameplay mechanics like its First-Person Shooter parent series. Regardless if it is a crossover or a spin-off, a Mascot RPG will almost always have their own casts of Original Generation characters and storytelling elements created exclusively for the game, usually within a Crossover Alternate Universe. Many Mascot RPGs are also tactical roleplaying games, following the example set by Super Robot Wars, a Trope Codifier of this genre. The makers of Super Robot Wars, Bandai Namco Entertainment, not coincidentally loves the Mascot RPG genre, with a lot of the games below being published by them. This type of game has a tendency to be exclusive to Japan, with some examples falling into No Export for You due to international licensing problems that have plagued the Mascot RPG for about as long as they've existed. |

Action Commands would be retained in the Mascot RPG spiritual successor series Paper Mario by Intelligent Systems as well as Mario & Luigi by AlphaDream. | |

Super Robot Wars is an entire Massive Multiplayer Crossover Mascot RPG franchise for Humongous Mecha anime such as Getter Robo, Gundam, and Mazinger Z. There are far too many franchises used and entires in the series to list either one, but it has been a poster child for this trope since its debut on the Game Boy in 1991. | |

Doom has a Mascot RPG appropriately titled Doom RPG that was released in 2005. The Doom RPG is meant to be within the same continuity as the main series, picking up plot threads from Doom3 while taking visual cues from Doom and DoomII. There was even a follow up called Doom II RPG which shares a game engine and continuity with Wolfenstein RPG (see below). If we consider these games to be canon, this could mean all of Doom and Wolfenstein are in the same universe. | |

Disney Heroes: Battle Mode, Disney Sorcerer's Arena, and Disney Mirrorverse are a trio of mobile Mascot RPGs that serves as a crossover for the Disney Animated Canon. Unlike Kingdom Hearts (for the most part), the characters from the different films and shows interact more with each other and are truly part of a common universe as opposed to being spread out on their own planets. | |

Cross Edge is a Massive Multiplayer Crossover Mascot RPG by Nippon Ichi, Idea Factory, and Gust Corporation that averted the No Export for You legal troubles common to the genre. It brings together characters from Atelier, Darkstalkers, Disgaea, Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia, Mana Khemia 2: Fall of Alchemy, and Blazing Souls Accelate. The game is a Spiritual Sequel to Chaos Wars, with a similar Trapped in Another World premise. Trinity Universe shares a battle system and some monsters with Cross Edge, but only brings two universes from that title: Atelier and Disgaea. |
