Final Fantasy is a very successful, modular RPG series created by Square Enix. It consists of a series of numbered games; each numbered game is disconnected from the others, but some games have had sequels or spinoffs set in the same universe. Despite this, the series boasts recurring characters and elements such as Moogles and Chocobos that appear in most titles. While Final Fantasy began its life on Nintendo's consoles (the NES and Super NES), it migrated to other systems starting with Final Fantasy VII; however, spinoff titles can still occasionally be found on Nintendo systems, including some titles in its sister series Kingdom Hearts.

Many of Square Enix's contributions to the Mario franchise contain references to, and characters from, Final Fantasy. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, their first collaboration, is highly influenced by the series; secret boss Culex is a parody of stereotypical Final Fantasy bosses of the time. Years later, various generic character classes and enemies (influenced by the NES titles) appeared in Mario Hoops 3-on-3 and Mario Sports Mix. Despite his status as the first Final Fantasy hero to debut on a non-Nintendo console, Cloud Strife of Final Fantasy VII fame was the first "named" FF character to appear alongside Mario characters, in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.
