This trope refers to when a work is adapted, and then the adaptation is adapted, and this leads to the work being adapted back into its original medium. Often occurs because the original version is so different from the adapted version that it's useless as a tie-in, leading the work to be adapted back. It can also be due to Adaptation Displacement, however. Other reasons are quite possible as well because this trope cares not for the motives of the recursive adapter, merely that the adaptation "stack" curves back on itself (for example, book ⟿ movie ⟿ TV show ⟿ book).
This is the result of making a novelization of a movie based on a book, or making a movie out of a Screen-to-Stage Adaptation, effectively remaking the original movie. See also Recursive Import, Recursive Fanfiction, Ret-Canon, Third-Option Adaptation, and Canon Immigrant.

The Ultimate Spider-Man animated series also has a comic adaptation called Marvel Universe-Ultimate Spider-Man. That's a comic retold as another comic, adapted into Western Animation, and adapted back into a comic. The cartoon also incorporates unique elements of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which itself is an adaptation of both the Marvel Universe and Ultimate Marvel.
Incidentally, Ultimate Spider-Man had an original character, a new White Tiger, become a Canon Immigrant to the Marvel Universe before the series even premiered.

Ultraman Tiga had a comic series by Dark Horse, which appeared to take some elements from the 4Kids English dub. The most notable example is the Color Timer being referred to as the "Biotic Sensor" and the setting being in the year 2049 as opposed to 2007; however, many elements were retained from the original version, such as the extra statues in the Pyramid of Light being Tiga's lost companions rather than fakes and much of the rest of the terminology (Ultraman's "types" as opposed to "modes", for instance). This is a case of Tropes Are Not Bad, though, as much of the universe was expanded on in a way neither version did, such as Kyreloid/Kilalien having a more extensive backstory.

DC Comics used to have a title called Human Target, about Master of Disguise Christopher Chance who would disguise himself as people whose lives were in danger in order to draw out their attacker. This later got an In Name Only TV adaptation, where Chance isn't a Master of Disguise, he's just an undercover bodyguard. DC Comics have released a new Human Target comic based on this.

The third Diamond Brothers book, South by South East, is extremely complicated in this regard. It wasn't actually a book to start with, but a TV series that served as a sequel to the film adaptation of the first book. However, Anthony Horowitz then novelised the series, and the novelisation actually came out before the TV series was screened, leaving people to presume that the series was an adaptation of the book. This was not helped by the fact that the TV series was never repeated or released on home media, and a few years later Horowitz rewrote the novelisation to bring it in line with the continuity of the first two books; this revised version is by far the better-known version, further fuelling the belief that the book came first.

The 2006 installment of Midway's Spy Hunter series was actually based on the movie that was based on the game series. Except for the Spy Hunter movie upon which the game was based never ended up being released. Apparently they got tired of waiting and decided to just release the game with no context.

Done again with Moonraker, the third Bond novel by Ian Fleming. The 1979 Moonraker film only incorporated the villain (Hugo Drax) and the idea of a rocket from the novel. While it wasn't nearly as deviant from its source novel as The Spy Who Loved Me, it was still far enough removed to have another novelization commissioned, again by screenwriter Christopher Wood. As before, the novelization was titled James Bond and Moonraker to distinguish it from the Fleming novel.

Kung Fu Panda is considered by some to be a very loose adaptation of a video game with many similar concepts called T'ai Fu: Wrath of the Tiger, which DreamWorks also worked on. Kung Fu Panda itself went on to spawn a few video games of its own, with a few based on the first two movies and some of its spinoffs.

Young Justice was a popular Lighter and Softer comic, which was adapted thematically into the Teen Titans (2003) cartoon, which got a comic book version called Teen Titans Go! drawn by the former artist of the YJ comic. There was later a Young Justice (2010) cartoon based on the Darker and Edgier TT comic, which in turn received its own tie-in comics. To complete the loop, the TT cartoon was spun off into the Teen Titans Go! cartoon, which is a comedic series unrelated to the comic by that name: the full loop is comic → cartoon → comic → two cartoons → comic.

Another Hasbro franchise to which something similar happened is My Little Pony. It started out as a line of plastic toy ponies with accessories, and in order to boost sales, an animated series was produced. Three generations later, since My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic was launched, the toys are more and more based on the animated series which in turn is based partly on the first generation toys (or how Lauren Faust characterized them), part on the third generation (In Name Only, though).

Cardfight!! Vanguard gives us this on an individual card level with "Majesty Lord Blaster":
The original 2011 adaptation of the manga features a card that did not feature anywhere in the manga called "Majesty Lord Blaster" which despite only being relevant for one episode gained instant icon status for its relation to Aichi's character development and its at-the-time unique effect which makes use of cards from clans other than its own which to this day has only been seen on one other card.
Then years later the climax of the manga gave us "Messianic Lord Blaster", which is meant to emulate "Majesty Lord Blaster", having a similar design and the same initials of "MLB".
A couple of months after the manga's conclusion, a 2018 reboot that aimed to serve as a more faithful adaptation began airing. So naturally, it had its own take on "Messianic Lord Blaster".
The final season of the 2018 reboot, which began long after it ran out of manga chapters to animate, features "Majesty Lord Blaster" as a central plot device.

Yu-Gi-Oh! was originally a manga which was adapted into an anime. The anime received a spinoff, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, which was adapted back into a manga, though this is not a full example of this trope as the manga is almost completely different from the anime, sharing only characters, setting, and the card game. The same goes for subsequent spinoffs too, the first of which also has a decent amount of changes from the anime, starting with the rules of the game (certain cards are not required and monsters are summoned differently).

James Bond:
The Spy Who Loved Me has an interesting history as a book → movie → book. It was the tenth James Bond novel by Ian Fleming. Fleming only licensed the title to EON, due to him being unhappy with the novel and with Bond only appearing in the final third of it. An entirely new plot was created for the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me. Since the book and the film had so little in common, a novelization was commissioned; the first for James Bond. The film’s screenwriter, Christopher Wood, adapted his screenplay into the novelization, titled James Bond, The Spy Who Loved Me to differentiate it from the original novel.
Done again with Moonraker, the third Bond novel by Ian Fleming. The 1979 Moonraker film only incorporated the villain (Hugo Drax) and the idea of a rocket from the novel. While it wasn't nearly as deviant from its source novel as The Spy Who Loved Me, it was still far enough removed to have another novelization commissioned, again by screenwriter Christopher Wood. As before, the novelization was titled James Bond and Moonraker to distinguish it from the Fleming novel.
A strange case happened with the novelisation of Licence to Kill. John Gardner, who was writing the continuation novels at the time, wrote the novelisation to fit into his ongoing novel continuity. However, the film used a lot of set pieces from the original books that had been cut from previous adaptations. This led to strangeness like Felix Leiter getting his false leg bitten off by a shark. The same leg he'd lost years earlier in the novel Live and Let Die... when it was bitten off by a shark.

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, which was a creative localization of Puyo Puyo based off the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog animated series, which was based off of the Sonic the Hedgehog games.
Sonic Spinball is a video game loosely based on Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) and Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) (which were both based on the original games, and shared quite a few elements due to the former having started as a tie-in with the latter), which eventually got its own comic adaptation within the former's continuity.
There was going to be a straight example of this—that is, a Sonic game based on the SatAM cartoon, which in turn was based on the video games—but it was canceled.
Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood was heavily inspired by the Archie Comics' comic line, which in turn took some ideas from the game. It also contains a subtle reference to the anime series Sonic X, which is a very different adaption of the games.
Sonic Boom is a reimagining of the Sonic universe as an animated CGI cartoon series with the companion video games Rise of Lyric and Shattered Crystal acting as a prologue to the story of the former.

Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie also had its own game version, albeit one that came out only in Japan. Instead of being a traditional fighting game, it was a raising simulator where you control the newest model of Shadaloo's Monitor Cyborgs and develop his fighting abilities by traveling around the globe to observe the World Warriors fight each other (which basically meant moving a cursor over FMV footage from the movie itself, mixed with new footage created specifically for the game). There is a Super Turbo-style fight sequence in the end, but the Cyborg's moves are the same ones that Ken has in Super Turbo (including his Shoryu Reppa).

This a complex example because while some levels like Veldin, Quartu, and the Deplanetizer are this trope, many others like Novalis, Batalia, and Kalebo III are Video Game Remakes placed in the context of the movie's plot. Its tagline is even "The game, based on the movie, based on the game".
In-universe, there was also a holo-film based on the adventure as seen in the real-life film, which spawned a holo-game based on that film (the PS4 game is the adventure being told by Captain Qwark).

The Third Doctor was partially based on James Bond, who was allegedly partially based on Jon Pertwee.note It Makes Sense in Context, after old audiotapes of a 1994 interview with Pertwee were unearthed that revealed that during his wartime service he was part of a top-secret Allied spy organization headed by Ian Fleming, who had created Bond. Although according to Pertwee's reminiscences (he only felt comfortable coming forward in '94 due to concerns about violating the Official Secrets Act), he'd have been much more likely to have been a model for Q, as Pertwee was Fleming's "gadget guy" and briefed spies on such equipment as hidden pistols in pipes and playing cards that had hidden maps.

The Spy Who Loved Me has an interesting history as a book → movie → book. It was the tenth James Bond novel by Ian Fleming. Fleming only licensed the title to EON, due to him being unhappy with the novel and with Bond only appearing in the final third of it. An entirely new plot was created for the 1977 film The Spy Who Loved Me. Since the book and the film had so little in common, a novelization was commissioned; the first for James Bond. The film’s screenwriter, Christopher Wood, adapted his screenplay into the novelization, titled James Bond, The Spy Who Loved Me to differentiate it from the original novel.

Hoo boy, Super Robot Wars. Initially a series of games centered around anime crossovers which eventually got a sub-series of games based on its Original Generation. Said subseries got its own Animated Adaptation and an OVA sequel. And then the first two OG games got a remake that changed plot elements to accommodate scenes from the anime, and a bonus segment based on the OVA. And after that, a Gaiden Game was released that continued the plot of the bonus segment and threw in elements from what was essentially a radio play. Together with all the Canon Immigrants getting tossed around between series and mediums, Super Robot Wars has more loops than your average roller coaster ride.

The films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe usually have comic book tie-ins that either outright adapt the events of the movies, or explain what went on in-between each installment. For example, there's a comic set in-between The Avengers and Iron Man 3 that explains where War Machine was during the Chitauri invasion of New York.

Both Arthur and Franklin began their lives as popular book series, and have since been made into television series. In turn, episodes of those series have been released as books, though they've generally avoided releasing episodes as books that were adapted from books in the first place.
The Magic School Bus series also had books based on the TV series based on the book. They were by far the least educational of the versions.

Parodied with I Wanna Be the Guy: The Movie: The Game.
It also is the source of an extremely unusual example. The creator of I Wanna Be The Guy was inspired to create the game when he played an unfinished Japanese flash game entitled The Life-Ending Adventure. The creator of The Life-Ending Adventure must have noticed because they finished the game by adding a I Wanna Be The Guy section.

Adrian Mole started out in 1982 as a BBC radio play called The Diary of Nigel Mole. The Adrian Mole books were then adapted for Radio 4, with the same voice actor, Nicholas Barnes. In 1985 Sue Townsend wrote some original Adrian Mole material for Radio 4's summer holiday programming (again with Barnes), which later became "Adrian Mole at The BBC" in her True Confessions of Adrian Albert Mole book. So radio → book → radio → radio → book. Further books have come out at random intervals every few years since, featuring Adrian's diaries from the age of 13¾ to over 40.

Double Dragon V: The Shadow Falls by Tradewest was a tie-in to the 1993 Double Dragon (1993) animated series, which in turn was a show loosely based on the earlier Double Dragon games. Instead of being a side-scrolling beat-'em-up like the earlier games, Double Dragon V was a one-on-one fighting game (clearly inspired by Street Fighter II) featuring characters lifted from the show, including the Lee brothers themselves (who went from unarmed combatants to swordsmen), although the game also deviated slightly from the show too (Billy and Jimmy never wore masks like their counterparts on the show).
Technos, developers of the original Double Dragon games, would later make their own fighting game version of the series for the Neo-Geo, simply titled Double Dragon, as a tie-in to the live-action Double Dragon (1994) movie. While the attract demo uses footage from the movie, the game itself uses traditional hand-drawn sprites instead of digitized actors and barely half of the roster are actually characters featured in the movie (Billy, Jimmy, Marian, Abobo, and Koga Shuko). Still, there are some visual references to the movie, such as Billy and Jimmy having transformed forms, or Abobo swelling into a mutant when performing some of his super moves.

Ludwig van Beethoven's Violin Sonata No.9 in A major, known as the Kreutzer sonata after its dedicatee,note  Even though he never played the sonata (calling it "outrageously unintelligible"), only met Beethoven once, and didn't care for his music. inspired the novella The Kreutzer Sonata by Leo Tolstoy about an adulterous affair between a violinist and pianist who perform the Beethoven work. Tolstoy's novella was then adapted back into music as LeoÅ¡ JanáÄ�ek’s String Quartet No.1, also called Kreutzer Sonata, which paraphrases a theme from the first movement of the original Kreutzer sonata in its third movement.

A strange case happened with the novelisation of Licence to Kill. John Gardner, who was writing the continuation novels at the time, wrote the novelisation to fit into his ongoing novel continuity. However, the film used a lot of set pieces from the original books that had been cut from previous adaptations. This led to strangeness like Felix Leiter getting his false leg bitten off by a shark. The same leg he'd lost years earlier in the novel Live and Let Die... when it was bitten off by a shark.

Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku featured an original storyline that wasn't in the original manga. Years later Naho Ooishi wrote a manga miniseries called Dragon Ball: Episode of Bardock set after the events of the TV special which got adapted into a TV special. That makes it an OVA adapted from a manga which is a sequel to an anime TV special that was spun off from a manga. Also, just to make it more confusing, Bardock as a character received Canon Immigrant status in a flashback in Toriyama's original manga.

2013's Batman '66 comic is an adaptation of the 1966 Adam West Batman series, which of course was itself an adaptation of the Batman comics that had been printed up to that time.
The success of the series led to DC launching Wonder Woman '77, a continuation of the live-action Wonder Woman TV show.
In 2021 this trend continued with Superman '78 and Batman '89, based on the first Christopher Reeve and Michael Keaton movies, respectively.

Monk received a series of non-canon tie-in novels set throughout the series. Two of the plots from these novels (Mr. Monk Goes to the Firehouse and Mr. Monk and the Blue Flu) were later loosely adapted into episodes of the main television series ("Mr. Monk Can't See a Thing" and "Mr. Monk and the Badge", respectively), albeit with some differences (the most significant being the main plot point of "Can't See a Thing").

Also, Pokémon Yellow is video game → anime → video game. This eventually went double-recursive when Ash and Gary finally battled each other in the anime: Ash uses Pikachu while Gary uses an Eevee, which are the Pokémon their game counterparts start with in Yellow. Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are based loosely on Yellow, and add elements of the spinoff game Pokémon GO to the mix.
Special mention goes to the manga adaptation based off this particular game. It's a manga chapter based off a game based off an anime based off a game.

Batman: The Animated Series had two episodes in its retool season The New Batman Adventures that were adapted from its comic book tie-in The Batman Adventures.
The Christmas Episode "Holiday Knights", which was adapted from a Holiday Special one-shot. Aside from a few changes in character dialogue (both to make the language more appropriate for television and for reasons less clear), one of the most notable changes made in adapting the comic book into an episode of the animated series was the omission of Mr. Freeze's story, as it had discrepancies with the changes made to his story as of the film Batman & Mr. Freeze: SubZero and his New Batman Adventures episode "Cold Comfort".
"Mad Love", Harley Quinn's Origins Episode adapted from a one-shot of the same name, which changed little aside from leaving out the implications that Harleen Quinzel got her degree by sleeping with her professor.

Video game → collectible card game → video game. And the promotional cards that came with the game and its strategy guide are based on those from the video game, adding another layer.
Also worth noting that several aspects of the TCG directly affected later generations of the main series, prime examples including moves like Destiny Bond and Rain Dance, and "Pokemon Powers" from the early card game being the basis for abilities beginning in Gen 3.

Julie Burchill's novel Sugar Rush was adapted into a popular TV show that ran for two series. Burchill was inspired by the performance of the two leads to writing a follow-up novel, Sweet, that incorporated aspects of both the original novel and the TV show but wasn't canonical to either, essentially creating a third version of the story.

Jurassic Park (1993) was based fairly directly on Michael Crichton's novel, though differed in several major respects — including just which characters survive or not. Crichton's subsequent book The Lost World (1995) was written more as a sequel to the movie, rather than the novel, given the sudden Unexplained Recovery experience necessary for one major protagonist to appear after his apparent fate in the original novel. This new book was itself swiftly followed by a movie of (partly) the same name, although adapted more loosely still. A second sequel movie was then produced titled Jurassic Park III, combining some characters from the first book/film with the setting of the second and at least one major inspiration (the pterosaur 'cage') from the original novel. By the time we got to the third movie, we were 4 steps away from the original book in general, though.
As a straighter example, the film adaptation of Jurassic Park was given the junior novelization treatment. So, the book of the film of the book. The same is true of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Jumanji and Zathura.

Pokémon:
Video game → collectible card game → video game. And the promotional cards that came with the game and its strategy guide are based on those from the video game, adding another layer.
Also worth noting that several aspects of the TCG directly affected later generations of the main series, prime examples including moves like Destiny Bond and Rain Dance, and "Pokemon Powers" from the early card game being the basis for abilities beginning in Gen 3.
Also, Pokémon Yellow is video game → anime → video game. This eventually went double-recursive when Ash and Gary finally battled each other in the anime: Ash uses Pikachu while Gary uses an Eevee, which are the Pokémon their game counterparts start with in Yellow. Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are based loosely on Yellow, and add elements of the spinoff game Pokémon GO to the mix.
Special mention goes to the manga adaptation based off this particular game. It's a manga chapter based off a game based off an anime based off a game.
The Surfing Pikachu card is a reference to the anime via Pokémon Yellow, and is included in the video game version of the TCG. Surfing Pikachu has also been available in games other than Yellow via events. That's video game → anime → video game → trading card game → video game.
Pokémon Puzzle League, aside from being an updated version of Panel de Pon, is a pretty massive recursive adaptation in its own right, given that the Puzzle Master is Mewtwo from the first film. So the adaptation goes: game —> anime —> movie —> game.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles went comic book → animated series → Archie comic book. Eventually occurred with the second cartoon as well, although the resulting comic book ended up having a much shorter shelf-life than its predecessor. Then there was a comic based on the 2012 cartoon, courtesy of IDW.
There's also comic book → the first movie → comic book adaptation written and drawn by the original creators, resulting in the slightly weird case of the Turtles looking just like they do in the Mirage stories, but behaving like their movie counterparts (ordering pizza, for example).

"Baby's Tears" started out as a Konami original song in DanceDanceRevolution SuperNOVA. It got drastically remixed (different instrumentals, different lyrics, slower tempo; about the only thing that stayed the same was the melody) into an Anime Theme Song as the opening theme for the Sky Girls OVA. The anime version subsequently appeared alongside the original in DDR SuperNOVA 2, listed as "Baby's Tears (Sky Girls Opening Theme)".

A strange example in regards to The Amazing World of Gumball: The show got a Shoddy Knockoff Product entitled Miracle Star that ripped off scenes from the show wholesale. The show, in turn, then made Captain Ersatz versions of those characters in the episode "The Copycats". There's even an in-universe video where the parody character reenacts a specific scene of Gumball that was ripped off by Miracle Star.

Tak and the Power of Juju started out as its own game series, became a cartoon, them Tak from the cartoon appeared in Nicktoons Unite! and got two games based loosely off the cartoon.
It goes deeper than that. The games were meant to launch with the cartoon, but the cartoon ended up getting stuck in Development Hell while the games went on to become a trilogy. So, there are games based on a cartoon, which are based on a series of games, which were meant to tie in with a cartoon.

Metropolis is a borderline example. It started out as a movie, then Osamu Tezuka made a manga that was inspired by a single still from that movie of a female robot being born, and then someone made a feature film out of that — which actually resembled the original film more than the manga did, as it heavily emphasized the elements of the manga that were already coincidentally similar to the film.

As with Dark Horse's Ultraman Tiga example (see Comic Books folder), One Piece for Game Boy Advance is based on the 4Kids dub of the anime. Drawing more comparisons to Ultraman Tiga, it seems the developers are familiar with the original source material; however, many elements from the 4Kids dub remain, such as the names (Chaser, Zolo, etc.) as well as Sanji receiving lollipops.

Both the films Bram Stoker's Dracula and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein had new novelizations written, despite being based on classic novels themselves. And having included the original author's name in the title of the movie, as if to give an air of authenticity. Fred Saberhagen wrote the novelization of Bram Stoker's Dracula; Saberhagen reportedly offered his services on the Frankenstein novel as well, solely for the purpose of being able to put "Mary Shelley's Frankenstein: From the author of Bram Stoker's Dracula" on the cover. Ah, What Could Have Been...

After Doctor Who was revived on TV, there have been a few cases of Expanded Universe stories being remade as television episodes.
Full-scale adaptations are "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood" (a Tenth Doctor TV story based on the Seventh Doctor novel Human Nature), "Blink" (a Tenth Doctor TV story based on the prose Ninth Doctor annual short story "What I Did on my Summer Holidays, by Sally Sparrow"), "The Lodger" (an Eleventh Doctor TV story based on a Tenth Doctor Doctor Who Magazine comic story of the same title), and "The Star Beast" (a Fourteenth Doctor TV episode based on a Fourth Doctor Doctor Who Magazine comic of the same title).
Looser adaptations are "Dalek" (a Ninth Doctor TV story loosely based on the Sixth Doctor Big Finish Doctor Who drama Jubilee, earlier drafts of which were reportedly much more heavily based on the audio), "The Shakespeare Code" (a Tenth Doctor TV story loosely based on the Ninth Doctor Doctor Who Magazine comic strip story "A Groatsworth of Wit"), and "The Haunting of Villa Diodati"/"Ascension of the Cybermen"/"The Timeless Children" (a Thirteenth Doctor TV story that takes major plot elements from the Doctor Who (Titan) multi-Doctor story "Supremacy of the Cybermen").
The Third Doctor was partially based on James Bond, who was allegedly partially based on Jon Pertwee.note It Makes Sense in Context, after old audiotapes of a 1994 interview with Pertwee were unearthed that revealed that during his wartime service he was part of a top-secret Allied spy organization headed by Ian Fleming, who had created Bond. Although according to Pertwee's reminiscences (he only felt comfortable coming forward in '94 due to concerns about violating the Official Secrets Act), he'd have been much more likely to have been a model for Q, as Pertwee was Fleming's "gadget guy" and briefed spies on such equipment as hidden pistols in pipes and playing cards that had hidden maps.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack: Novel (High-Streamer) → Movie → Novel (Beltorchika's Children). Note that both novels were written by series creator Yoshiyuki Tomino, and none of these are straight adaptations, with Beltorchika's Children particularly being based on an earlier concept for Char's Counterattack that Sunrise ended up vetoing.

Radicalfaith360 is a YouTube user known for his re-enactments of YouTube Poop. Since becoming popular, his re-enactments have become sources for poops on their own — often by the very same users who made the poops he was re-enacting in the first place.

Daredevil: Following the release of the Netflix show, the comics depictions of Matt and Foggy were reworked to resemble Charlie Cox and Elden Henson. In addition, the show renamed Wilson Fisk's wife from Vanessa Fisk to Vanessa Marianna, which the comics began doing in 2017. Mitchell Ellison from the New York Bulletin has also been adapted into the comics, but he has only been mentioned and not yet seen.

Sonic Spinball is a video game loosely based on Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics) and Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) (which were both based on the original games, and shared quite a few elements due to the former having started as a tie-in with the latter), which eventually got its own comic adaptation within the former's continuity.

Star Trek: The Animated Series example: the episode "The Slaver Weapon" was adapted by Larry Niven from his own original (unrelated to Star Trek) short story "The Soft Weapon". The episode itself was then subsequently novelised by Alan Dean Foster as a Star Trek novel. This means that there are two print versions of the exact same story, both of which are similar but also startlingly different from each other.

Japanese pro soccer player Hidetoshi Nakata cites the Captain Tsubasa manga and anime as his inspiration for pursuing a career in soccer. He got a cameo in Inazuma Eleven 2 via a secret character based on and named after him. Said character became an Ascended Extra in the third game and consequently also appeared in the corresponding arc of the anime adaptation. In short, anime → real life → game → anime.

Crimzon Clover started life as a Windows release. It would then get ported to arcade hardware as Crimzon Clover for NESiCAxLive. This version would then get an Updated Re-release as Crimzon Clover World Ignition, bringing the game back to Windows. Then this game would be ported with extra content to Nintendo Switch as Crimzon Clover World EXplosion. Finally, this version was ported back to Windows under the same title.note In other words: It's a Windows port of a Switch port of a Windows port of an arcade adaptation of a PC game.

Street Fighter II inspired a Live-Action Adaptation simply titled Street Fighter, which in turn inspired two fighting games based on it, both titled Street Fighter: The Movie. The arcade version was made by Incredible Technologies and featured a unique gameplay system that combined conventional Street Fighter II play mechanics with Mortal Kombat-style tap commands. The console version, often mistaken to be a port of the arcade version, was developed in-house by Capcom and plays more like a standard Street Fighter game (specifically like a slower Super SF II Turbo).
Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie also had its own game version, albeit one that came out only in Japan. Instead of being a traditional fighting game, it was a raising simulator where you control the newest model of Shadaloo's Monitor Cyborgs and develop his fighting abilities by traveling around the globe to observe the World Warriors fight each other (which basically meant moving a cursor over FMV footage from the movie itself, mixed with new footage created specifically for the game). There is a Super Turbo-style fight sequence in the end, but the Cyborg's moves are the same ones that Ken has in Super Turbo (including his Shoryu Reppa).

Dragon Ball Z had a double recursive adaptation: the fourth Dragon Ball Z RPG for the Family Computer was titled Dragon Ball Z Gaiden, which featured a new storyline written specifically for the game. A two-part video guide for the game was then released that was essentially a Dragon Ball Z OVA with footage of the Famicom game spliced in between. The animated segments of the video guide were then reused for two FMV games released for Bandai's short-lived Macintosh-based Pippin game console in Japan.
Dragon Ball Jump Festa special, Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!, was adapted into a one-shot manga by Ooishi Naho. Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' also received a three-chapter manga adaptation by Toyotarō which began serialization before the movie's release.
Dragon Ball Z: Bardock - The Father of Goku featured an original storyline that wasn't in the original manga. Years later Naho Ooishi wrote a manga miniseries called Dragon Ball: Episode of Bardock set after the events of the TV special which got adapted into a TV special. That makes it an OVA adapted from a manga which is a sequel to an anime TV special that was spun off from a manga. Also, just to make it more confusing, Bardock as a character received Canon Immigrant status in a flashback in Toriyama's original manga.
And then of course there's the "animanga", which is a manga that uses screenshots of the TV series, which itself is based on the manga. Its main upside was that it was in colour while the original manga was black and white, but then it became "redundantly redundant" with the release of Dragon Ball Colour, which coloured in the original manga panels at a much higher quality.

Lupin III is a multi-media franchise that began as a serial manga. After making its way to Anime, some of the stories have become full-colour manga volumes.
Comic Souris has made full-colour manga from: The Castle of Cagliostro (a three-book set) and Lupin III: Part 1 (Volumes 2 through 12). The best example of recursion is when a Green Jacket episode was aired based on a manga chapter and turned into a manga volume.
Action Comics made a four-volume set from The Castle of Cagliostro.

Transformers started out as toys, went to an animated series, which then introduced new toys, some of which were used for new Transformers series, or for The Movie, which got its own line of toys.

Conan the Barbarian, both the 1982 and 2011 versions, received novelizations. (Admittedly, this an unusual entry, since the films did not especially specifically adapt the tales from the 1950s reprint volume Conan the Barbarian.) Robert Jordan also wrote a novelization of Conan the Destroyer, but no anthology or novel had used that title.
