 One day, you're watching your favorite TV Show. Everything seems to be going as expected: the bad guy has revealed their plans for the episode, the comic relief is saying all their best one-liners, and the heroes are ready to step in and save the day.
...But wait, what's this? Suddenly, characters from a completely different show suddenly come out of nowhere! You would have never expected these characters to make an official appearance in a million years! What's going on?

This is when a work is suddenly and unexpectedly revealed to be an Intercontinuity Crossover with another work that would have never been expected to officially make an appearance.
Here be Unmarked Spoilers.
Compare to The Cameo, which are usually non-canon and are just short references.

 The fanmade web animation Haloid at first appears to be a crossover between Halo and Metroid, with Samus fighting Master Chief. The ending reveals that "Master Chief" is actually Nicole, making it technically a Dead or Alive crossover as well.
