He crossed over with characters from the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] in episodes of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'', and is set to do the same in the upcoming fighting game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. His descendant, [[Richter Belmont]], also appears in the game as an Echo Fighter of Simon.

==''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''==
{{main-external|SmashWiki|Simon (SSBU)}}
Simon makes his ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' debut in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a third-party character, alongside fellow Konami characters [[Solid Snake]] and Richter Belmont, Sega's [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] and [[Bayonetta]], Capcom's [[Mega Man]] and [[Ryu]], Bandai Namco's [[Pac-Man]], and Square Enix's [[Cloud Strife]]. His various attacks involve him using his "Vampire Killer" whip. Simon's special attacks are Axe, an axe that is a powerful projectile; Holy Water, a magical, multi-hitting projectile dealing flame damage; Cross, a projectile with boomerang-esque properties; and Uppercut, a powerful uppercut that functions as Simon's recovery move. His Final Smash, Grand Cross, involves trapping players in a coffin and destroying it.

In his debut trailer, he arrives at Dracula's Castle, and also eliminates Death shortly after the latter easily defeated [[Luigi]]. He later confronts Dracula himself but is nearly defeated, only to be saved by his descendant Richter.
