Mario and Sonic VS the One Winged Angel

Mario and Sonic VS the One Winged Angel is a crossover action-platform game similar to Crash Twinsanity in terms of gameplay, featuring Mario and Sonic combining their strength to fight against a mysterious blight called the White Ash, caused by a new villain coming from another world. 
It's based on a scrapped concept for a Beijing Olympic Games plot but remade into a platformer without the Olympic connection. 
== Plot ==
Mario hears from Toadsworth that white monsters started appearing in the Mushroom Desert and ate many Toads alive. Toadsworth describes it as something not even Bowser would do. Mario soon goes and defeats all the enemies.
Meanwhile Sonic is notified by Tails about white monsters appearing in Grand Metropolis and killing many people, and goes to fight them. 
Rosalina summons Mario and Sonic to the Comet observatory, telling them that those zombies are not Bowser nor Eggman's fault, they are created by someone from another planet who calls himself One Winged Angel, who is interested in the Comet Observatory. She tells the two that she had been attacked and that a certain soldier from another world protected her from the Angel but now has been brainwashed (you play the flashback of Cloud protecting Rosalina from a horde of zombies and you fight Sephiroth at the end of the flashback). An ancient prophecy scroll stored in the Observatory said that when the One Winged Angel comes for the Comet, the Four Elements will defeat it, fire, wind, water and earth (fire is Mario, wind is Sonic, water is Cloud, earth is Donkey Kong).

== Playable Characters ==
Mario + Sonic: the main protagonists. The player can switch control between the two, who combine with different attacks depending on who's in the lead. If you control Mario, you can do triple jumps, do fire-charged pirouettes, launch fireballs (using "Boost Energy) and kick Sonic into enemies as a fireball. Controlling Sonic lets you spindash, use turbo boost (still using Boost Energy), homing attack enemies while jumping, and launch a spinning Mario against enemies like a drill charged with wind. 
Shadow + Peach: Played in a few levels. Shadow can homing attack like Sonic, but he also shoots with a submachine gun and launches Chaos Spears and can stop time with Chaos Control, while Peach slashes with her parasol Perry, can glide after her jump (and get pushed by wind currents) and can use boost energy for her Rage Vibe.
Luigi + Knuckles: You control them in some puzzle-oriented levels which focus on treasure hunting and escaping rooms. 
Cloud Strife: You play as him in Rosalina's flashback showing when she was attacked by Sephiroth and then later on, after he's freed from his brainwashing. He uses his Buster Sword and Blizzard Materia. He cannot stomp on enemies unless you ground-pound (using his Braver attack). 
Donkey Kong
Mario + Sonic + Cloud + Donkey Kong
NOTE: Mario is the only one who doesn't talk in cutscenes. Sonic, Luigi, Shadow, Cloud, Knuckles and Peach do it.
==Trivia ==
*This game is canon to all three series of Mario, Sonic and Final Fantasy. It establishes that all three series are set in the same universe, though on different planets, and that Rosalina is an Ancient/Cetra, from the same civilization as Aerith, and the Comet Observatory was built by the very Ancients who Aerith was a descendant of.
