I did a bit more research and DK Racing is not the only Banjo-Kazooie connection. The BK and DK franchises both reference each other a lot, while the DK games were being distributed by Rare. This lists (I believe) all the connections, and though there is a clear bias by the writer they are still open to show all possible connections
 
While I'm still not sure on including SimCity as a whole (if not as a parallel dimension), will you include SimCity 64 along with it? It features Dr Wright from the first one as well. SimCity also spun off the entire Sims franchise so you could theoretically include that as well. And the Sims has a time machine they use that implies Dragon Age and Mass Effect are part of the same universe (set in the distant past and far future respectively)

I've stated everything I'm definitely including in the original post

Sims is weird, since it's up in the air whether each game is in the same universe or not. There's barely any actual lore from what I remember, but I could be wrong

Oh, there is Sims lore, it's just more hidden and less in your face. Sims has a fascinating story for some characters, especially those recurring in different titles

I'm aware of the loose story (I think I saw MatPat do a video on it?) though again, it's vague as to whether it's time travel, out of order games, alternate universe travel, etc
 
I do want to note that I think Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix doesn't actually include any characters from DDR so I don't think there's any connection to the main franchise as far as I know. It's similar to Hyrule Warriors taking the gameplay of Dynasty Warriors and not actually being a crossover really.

For Tetris you could include Tetris Worlds and Tetris Effect (Tetris Worlds is about alien Tetris pieces and Tetris Effect gets into like spiritualism type lore iirc) maybe, it's one of the only Tetris games with a story, although it doesn't have Nintendo characters so idk if you'd include them.

There's also Puyo Puyo Tetris, which is part of the Puyo Puyo series, but Puyo Puyo is kind of its own beast and again is just using the Tetris gameplay for one entry in the series (plus Puyo Puyo is a spin off of an RPG series) and owned by sega

I'm not adding any other Tetris games, since they aren't really crossovers. Though, if that's the case with DDR too, I won't include it either. I just assumed there'd be more elements than just gameplay in DDR

I'm not sure if the DDR series even has lore or characters tbh. Maybe it does, if it does I would kinda like to see someone tackle that series' chronology at some point

I looked it up to see if it did have any story to it. Some of the games had story modes, I believe
 
Another thing worth noting, Wooly World and Crafted World don't "actually" happen. They were said by the devs to be stories made up by some children using arts and crafts, throughout levels you can see Mario Kart brands from the present day that the present day Mario cast made, like Mario's motors, yoshis cookie, etc. also in MK8 on the ribbon road stage (which is set in a kids room with all the characters shrunk down) we can see some yarn yoshis around, further showing that they aren't the actual past versions of Yoshi or Bowser, just toys in-universe, you can probably just put both sometime before MK8 or use the release dates.

Also you can probably add the Mario Paint and Mario Studio games. The characters like undodog and coursebot from Mario Maker originate from those games. Not sure where you would put them outside of release dates either. Although iirc one of the Warioware games has Dr Crygor invent a thing called the MakerMatic and we see the Mario Paint/Maker characters so maybe after that? I don't remember which entry that was though

It didn't explain anything about the other Nintendo cameos in the game. They appear alongside Mario in the ending so idk what your approach to that is, the OP doesn't really explain it

Does it not? I think in the Kirby section, since I generalised things there
 
Elly said:
Samus does make cameos in Mario games but it doesn't really make sense because Metroid is at least several decades into the 21st century, most likely the 2090s

Although like.... Samus does appear in Kirby, and Kirby does have an appearance of one of the puzzles from Mario's Picross as a living being for some reason (as well as Famicom Fairytales characters and R.O.B. and Professor Hector from Gyromite), and Mario gets cameos in Kirby too in stadiums.... It's weird I dunno. Mecheye from Kirby is also referenced in the Star Fox Zero prequel animation. At some point I feel like it's just Easter eggs

Kirby's portrayal of Earth is in a nuclear winter, so it can't work (either as a parallel Earth, or Earth in the same universe as the Mushroom World)

Metroid timeline would go like this btw. The games use stuff like 20X5 for a few games (not fusion or dread) but Samus and Space Pirates appears in Galactic Pinball which is set in 2100 so I use 2095

20X5/2095- Metroid/Metroid: Zero Mission
20X5/2095- Metroid Prime Remastered
20X5/2095- Metroid Prime: Hunters
20X6/2096- Metroid Prime 2: Echoes
20X6/2096- Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
20X6/2096- Metroid Prime: Federation Force/Metroid Prime: Blast Ball
20X7/2097- Metroid II: Return of Samus/Metroid: Samus Returns
20X7/2097- Super Metroid JP commercial
20X7/2097- Super Metroid
20X7/2097- Metroid: Other M
20X9/2099- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
2100- Galactic Pinball
21XX- Metroid Fusion
21XX- Metroid Dread
 
Oh also forgot to mention. You can include the Classic versions of all the Game and Watch games as well. Sean's timeline doesn't include them for some reason but the Game and Watch Gallery games have like a hub world where you can access all the G&W games and Mario is there with Mr Game and Watch, so I think Game and Watch in general shares the same universe as Mario. Mr Game and Watch cameos in Donkey Kong Country Returns as well in one of the construction levels. I think the Game and Watch Gallery games go after Partners in Time because young DK Jr is present

Well, that only weakens The Sim's connection to this.
However, there are several instances (especially with The Sims 3) where events do not seem to agree with the in-universe chronology. There are several player theories which attempt to resolve these discrepancies, as well as some canonical alternatives, such as time travel in The Sims 3: Into the Future. The Sims 4 does not follow the in-universe chronology of the series, but does have some returning families, making it seem like an alternative universe.

The Sims 4 obviously implies alternate universes, and The Sims 3: Into the Future time travel is a different concept of time travel to that shown in Mario's Time Machine, Partner's in Time, the Yoshi's Island series, etc, which use closed circuit time travel

Mr Game & Watch is only in Smash and the G&W gallery games, so this wouldn't warrant an inclusion.

Also, just want to note that Game & Watch games look like how they do because they use LCD screens, however Mr Game & Watch just looks like that so someone appearing in a G&W game that bears some resemblance to Mr Game & Watch wouldn't mean it's necessarily Mr G&W
