Editing Solid Snake (section)

===Other video games and media===
In the [[Worlds of Power]] novelization series created by [[F.X. Nine]], Solid Snake appears in the second in the series, based on ''Metal Gear''. In the book, written by [[Alexander Frost]], he is Marine Captain Justin Halley.<ref>Frost, Alexander. ''Metal Gear''. New York: Scholastic, 1990, 1. 0590437771</ref> This version of the character is non-canon and is not referenced by other versions.

Solid Snake has appeared in a number of other games, including other Konami games. Hideo Kojima makes a habit of referencing his previous work. In the Kojima-produced ''[[Boktai 2: Solar Boy Django]]'' (and ''[[Shin Bokura no Taiyō: Gyakushū no Sabata]]''), Snake appears as an unnamed character who sells items to the player. Konami's ''[[Evolution Skateboarding]]'' features Snake and Raiden as hidden characters, as well as two stages set in the Big Shell (the skateboarding minigame in ''[[Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty#Substance|Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance]]'' is a demo of ''Evolution Skateboarding'' composed exclusively of these elements).<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/sports/evolutionskateboarding/cheats.html?tag=tabs%253Bcheats|title=Evolution Skateboarding Hints & Cheats|website=GameSpot|access-date=July 9, 2011}}</ref> Solid Snake also appears in both halves of a crossover between the ''Metal Gear'' and ''[[Ape Escape]]'' franchises: the ''Ape Escape'' monkeys appear with Solid Snake in the "Snake vs. Monkey" minigame featured in ''Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater''. In turn, Snake appears in the corresponding ''Metal Gear Solid'' minigame featured in ''[[Ape Escape 3]]'', where he is rescued by Pipo Snake (Snake's character design in this minigame is taken directly from Naked Snake's).

He has also appeared in several cross-company fighting games. In ''[[DreamMix TV World Fighters]]'', Solid Snake appears as a playable character alongside other [[Konami]], [[Hudson Soft]] and [[Takara]] characters such as [[Bomberman]] and [[Optimus Prime]]. Similarly, in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the third installment from the popular fighting game series ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Solid Snake appeared as a playable fighter alongside [[Sega]] character [[Sonic the Hedgehog (character)|Sonic the Hedgehog]] and a variety of characters from [[Nintendo]] franchises such as ''[[Super Mario (series)|Mario]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'', and ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]''. ''Brawl'' Director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] has stated that Snake was included under Kojima's request, and that he had talked to Sakurai about adding Snake to the roster of the previous game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', which did not materialize due to the game being too far into production.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://kotaku.com/gaming/nintendo/e306-super-smash-bros-brawl-qa-173071.php|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060604055930/http://www.kotaku.com/gaming/nintendo/e306-super-smash-bros-brawl-qa-173071.php|archive-date = 2006-06-04|title = E306: Super Smash Bros.
