Dream Mix TV World Fighters is, in very few words, what happened when Konami, Hudson Soft, and Takara decided to make a Mascot Fighter game together. Including a very particular roster characters that range from Simon Belmont to Bomberman to OptimusPrime, one can't help to feel that this game is a little bit... weird.
The story is simple yet convincing: There is a TvChannel (called DreamMix TV) that wants to get bigger ratings, so they invite different "celebrities" to participate and compete with each other. Enter the different characters from different companies.

Released in 2003 for the Game Cube and Play Station 2, this game never left Japan, so there is little chance for non-Japanese gamers to play it. In case you are want to see a little demo of the game, go here.[1]
Compare with Konami Krazy Racers, a Racing Crossover of Konami characters. Also contrast with Fighters Megamix, a Sega Crossover fighting game that also has ridiculous characters.
This game features the following tropes:[]
- Canon Foreigner - Haruna was not in any of the series, and was invented for this game in particular.
- Crossover
- Genki Girl: The female announcer. He quickly gets on the male announcer's nerves and is subject to her clumsiness.
- No Export for You - As mentioned above, this game never left Japan.
- Secret Character - there's two per company, adding up a total of six.
- The Unexpected: Pretty much anyone, but given his particular nature, Moai (who's only a flying head) is surely strange.
- Widget Series Let's just say this series is pretty "Japanese game-show"ish.
