The rivarly between Nintendo and Sega lasted for a decade, until Sega became a third-party developer in 2002 with the closing of their console-producing division with the discontinuation of the Sega Dreamcast in 2001 in North America, in Europe in 2002, and in Japan, where the Dreamcast continued to be produced until 2007. ''Sonic Adventure 2: Battle'', a port of ''Sonic Adventure 2'' for the [[wikipedia:Dreamcast|Dreamcast]], marked the first appearance of a Sega game on a Nintendo console, specifically the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. With that, the feud ended, and the two companies began collaborating. Their first effort resulted in ''F-Zero AX/GX''. The two companies later teamed up to create a crossover game featuring both Mario and Sonic, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', which generated the ''[[Mario & Sonic (series)|Mario & Sonic]]'' series. Sonic also appeared as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, being the only third party character to appear twice in the series, with fellow Sega character [[Bayonetta]] appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''.  Aside from ''Olympic Games'' and ''Super Smash Bros.'', Sonic has made cameo appearances in the Mario universe. By using a Sonic [[amiibo]], players can unlock an outfit based on Sonic in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''.  [[SonicRetro:Yoshi's Island Zone|Yoshi's Island Zone]] is a downloadable level in the Wii U version of ''[[SonicRetro:Sonic Lost World|Sonic Lost World]]'' which features Sonic in [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]].
