Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss

Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss is a crossover fighting game for the Nintendo Switch, developed by Crash Co. As the name implies, the game features several Nintendo characters battling characters from Dr. Seuss' children books and related media.
==Opening==
The game starts on a black screen, as words appear on the screen. Walter Matthau reads said words as pictures of several of the playable characters are shown.
Mario and The Cat in the Hat are then shown. They case at each other, Mario with fire in his hand and The Cat in the Hat pulling out a trombone from his hat. As the two land blows on each other, the game's title appears.
==Gameplay==
The game plays similarly to the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat series. Two characters battle on either side of the stage and can throw light, medium, and heavy punches at each other, as well as jump around and block. A counterattack can also be performed by pressing the blocking and attacking buttons at the same time, albeit it is risky. Each character also gets a set of three special moves, which can be performed by inputting a certain button combination. Special attacks generally do more damage than regular attacks, and can range from projectiles to heavy blows.
The goal of the game is to deplete the opponent's health bar. The character that gets their health bar depleted twice in a single match loses. In addition, the winner can perform a special move to finish of the opponent, named an "Omega Overdrive".
==Playable Characters==
Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss features a roster of 30 characters, with 15 originating from Nintnedo games and 15 originating from media relating to Dr. Seuss. Every character has their own attributes, abilities, and attacks.

Mario 	
Mario is the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, and the main protagonist of Nintendo's flagship Mario series. In Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss, he is able to use his various Power-Up forms to get the edge on his opponents. Notably, one of his special attacks has him trabsform into Fire Mario and throw a torrent of fireballs, while another has him turn into Cape Mario and dash forward. His Omega Overdrive has him transform into Invincible Mario and rush into the opponent, punching them multiple times before throwing an uppercut, knocking them out.	 	
The Cat in the Hat 	
The Cat in the Hat is, as his name suggests, a cat with a large red-and-white-striped tophat. He starred in Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat, which would later go on to define pioneer the genre of children's books. In Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss, The Cat in the Hat's moveset mainly revolves around pulling objects out of his hat and using them against his opponents. Some of these range from a trombone (as seen in one of his special attacks) and several balls that he uses to juggle. His Omega Overdrive has him pull a large, red car from his hat. He hops in it and drives forward, running the opponent over.	 	
Luigi 	
Luigi is Mario's younger brother who helps him on many of his adventures, and is a recurring character in the Mario series. In Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss, Luigi is armed with the Poltergust 5000 from Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, which he can use to attack opponents. He can stun them for a short time with the Strobulb, suck them into the Poltergust 5000 and launch them out, or summon Greenies and Slammers to attack. When Luigi uses his Omega Overdrive, he launches a gem out of the Poltergust 5000, which eventually forms into King Boo. He viciously attacks the opponent as several Boos swarm them, and Luigi finishes the opponent off by sucking them into his Poltergust 5000.	 	
Thing 1 and Thing 2	
Thing 1 and Thing 2 are the Cat in the Har's helpers. They don't speak, but are effecient in assisting him in whatever he needs. They are battled as a duo in Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss, and their attacks are aguably more obscure than the Cat in the Hat's. Thing 1 can blow balloons while Thing 2 pops them, both can launch a confetti cannon, and both can summon large hands that grab the opponent and shake them. Their Omega Overdrive sees them hop onto a small biplane. They drive it and it fly right into the opponent, knocking them away.	 	
Yoshi 	
Yoshis are a species of dinosaur found throughout the Mushroom Kingdom, originating from Yoshi's Island. One particular Yoshi, aptly named Yoshi, is a major character in both the Mario series and his own Yoshi series. His attacks in Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss consist of natural Yoshi abilities, such as swallowing opponents, throwing Yoshi Eggs, and performing a Ground Pound, all of which are shown through his special attacks. His Omega Overdrive sees him swallow a giant Shy Guy and transforming it into a Mega Eggdozer, which he throws at the opponent to knock them away.	 	
Yertle the Turtle 	
Yertle the Turtle is, as his name suggests, a turtle who is the main character of Dr. Seuss' Yertle the Turtle, where he commands several other turtles to stack so he can have a throne. He uses said turtles in Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss, where he can fling them as weapons and slide their shells forward into opponents. Furthermore, a turtle also carries him throughout the battle. His Omega Overdrive sees Yertle summoning hundreds of turtles to stack on each other. Afterwards, the stack begins to fall down as Yertle slams onto the opponent, burying them into the ground.	 	
Bowser 	
Bowser is the king of the Koopas, and the main antagonist of the Mario series, usually being seen kidnapping Princess Peach only for her to be saved by Mario. He is one of the strongest fighters in Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss, with his attacks being both fast and damaging. He can use his signature fire breath to scortch enemies, summon minions such as Koopa Troopas, Goombas, and Shy Guys to attack opponents, and grab the opponent to bite them and slam them into the ground. Bowser's Omega Overdrive sees him hop into the Koopa Clown Car, which is armed with Bill Blasters. They fire Bullet Bills at the opponent as Bowser takes out a large Bob-omb resembling King Bob-omb and throws it at the opponent, exploding on them and knocking them away.	 	
The Grinch 	
The Grinch is the main character of Dr. Seuss' The Grinch. In the book, he poses as Santa Clause and steals all of the presents, decorations, and more from Whoville after getting tired of the Christmas holiday. He is found in this Santa outfit in Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss, and is accompanied by his dog Max. Together, they battle by swinging around sacks, trapping opponents in presents, and whipping them with Christmas lights, demonstrated in his special attacks. For his Omega Overdrive, the Grinch hops on a large sleigh of stolen Christmas decorations and rams into the opponent. He ends up dragging them up to Mt. Crumpet, where he drops them into the abyss below.	 	
Link 	
"Link" is the name given to the main protagonist of the Zelda series. There have been many Links however, each sporting their own appearances and attributes. This particular one comes from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. In Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss, Link is a capable fighter who can utilize his Master Sword, allowing him to attack opponents from afar. His Omega Overdrive sees him dashing forward to slash opponents multiple times before eventually using a bomb to finish them off.	 	
Sam-I-Am 	
Sam-I-Am is one of the main characters in Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham. In the book, he constantly tries to get the other main character, Grouchy Guy, to try green eggs and ham, who refuses to eat them at every turn. In Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss, he actually wields a plate of Green Eggs and Ham, which he can fling at opponents to damage them. For his Omega Overdrive, he hops on a fox and fox who runs forward. The opponent will then get trampled by dogs and goats. Sam-I-Am will return to the stage afterwards.	 	
Zelda 	
"Zelda" is the name given to all of the princesses of Hyrule. In the Zelda series, they all have the Triforce of Wisdom, and a with Link, there is no one paricular Zelda. This one comes from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. In Nintendo vs. Dr. Seuss, Zelda uses magical attacks that allow her to fight from a distance. She can also inflict status ailments on opponents, making them weaker. Zelda's Omega Overdrive has her trap opponents in the Triforce of Wisdom, damaging them multiple times before finishing them off with a blast.	 	
Marvin K. Mooney 	
Marvin K. Mooney is the main character of Marvin K. Mooney Will You PLease Go Now!, by Dr. Seuss.

Mooney will stomp the ground once, causing a tremor that causes objects to fall on the opponent.
