The Compati Hero (コンパチヒーロー, Konpachi Hīrō) series is a Banpresto made crossover video game series that started in 1990, originally as a one off Sumo wrestling game, but then proceeded to grow, until the final entry in 2015. Several major Japanese franchises have crossover into this series. The series also spawned a sequel in the Super Robot Wars series.
