'''{{wp|Square Enix}}''' is a Japanese video game company known for developing the ''{{wp|Final Fantasy}}'', ''[[dragonquest:Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest]]'', and (in collaboration with {{wp|Disney}}) ''[[khwiki:Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' franchises. It was created by the merger of '''{{wp|Square (video game company)|Square}}''' and '''{{wp|Enix}}''' on April 1, 2003. 

Before its merger with Enix, Square was noted for making ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' in collaboration with [[Nintendo]]. 

Square Enix also made ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'' and ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' for the [[Nintendo DS]], with the latter exclusive to Japan. Both of those DS games are crossovers between the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] and one of Square Enix's franchises (''Final Fantasy'' in the former's case, and ''Dragon Quest'' in the latter's case). Another of the company's creations is ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', the first ''Mario'' spin-off from the company to be made for the [[Wii]]. The game includes the same ''Final Fantasy'' characters who appear in ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'', as well as [[Slime (Dragon Quest)|Slime]], one of the ''Dragon Quest'' characters who appears in ''Itadaki Street DS''. The company logo appears in ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'', where it can be seen on two courts: [[Mario Stadium (Mario Hoops 3-on-3)|Mario Stadium]] and [[Peach Field]]. Square Enix also developed another ''Dragon Quest''–''Mario'' crossover game called ''[[Fortune Street]]'', a sequel to ''Itadaki Street DS''.

Square Enix is also one of the third-party companies represented by playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', with [[Cloud Strife]], the hero of ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VII}}'', available as a downloadable fighter. Also, a [[stage]] based on a location from ''Final Fantasy VII'', [[Midgar]], is available. In addition, accessories for [[Mii|Mii Fighters]] based on [[Geno]] (a character from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' owned by Square Enix) and {{wp|Chocobo}} (a species from the ''Final Fantasy'' series) were available for purchase. The second ''Final Fantasy'' fighter, [[Sephiroth]], makes his debut as a DLC character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Cloud returns as a fighter, and Midgar also appears as a returning stage. ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''{{'}}s Challenger Pack 2 downloadable content features elements from the ''Dragon Quest'' series, including the fighter [[Hero]] and the stage [[Yggdrasil's Altar]], while Challenger Pack 11 (the final DLC pack for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'') introduces downloadable content originating from the Square Enix-developed ''Kingdom Hearts'' series, including the character [[Sora]] and the stage [[Hollow Bastion]]. Mii Fighter items based on characters from the ''Dragon Quest'' series are also available as DLC in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.

In 2023, a [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] of ''Super Mario RPG'' was released, developed by [[ArtePiazza]], a frequent collaborator with Square Enix, best known for remaking several entries in the ''Dragon Quest'' series.
