'''{{wp|Zangief}}''' is a crossover character from the ''{{wp|Street Fighter}}'' series, and he is a Russian wrestler. Zangief in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] appears only in the German ''[[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Super Mario Klemp-Won-Do: Muskeln sind nicht alles!]]", as [[Mario]]'s first opponent on his way to becoming the "''Street Fighter II'' grand master." Zangief is quickly defeated in the match just from Mario running around him, making Zangief feel giddy and causing him to fall down.

Zangief in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] appears only in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a [[smashwiki:Master spirit|master spirit]], and is devoid of any interaction with elements from the ''Super Mario'' franchise. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], Zangief is the third [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] encountered on the [[smashwiki:World Tour|World Tour]] sub-world. The Zangief [[smashwiki:Spirit#Spirit Battles|Spirit Battle]] is a [[smashwiki:Stamina Mode|stamina battle]] against [[smashwiki:Incineroar (SSBU)|Incineroar]] (with the opponent having more powerful throws and physical attacks) on the [[smashwiki:Boxing Ring|Boxing Ring]] stage with the music "Zangief Stage Type A" from ''{{wp|Street Fighter II: The World Warrior|Street Fighter II}}'' playing. Once the battle is won, Zangief will become available in the Dojo to teach the Overthrow Style to the player's spirits.
