Crossovers[[edit] | [edit source]]
Gremlins was one of the multiple franchises to be represented alongside the Doctor Who universe in the mass-crossover toys-to-life video game, LEGO Dimensions [+]Loading...["LEGO Dimensions (video game)"]. The Gremlins content was added to the game via its second wave of figurines and adventure packs on 18 November 2016, joining Doctor Who and the other existing franchise elements that were built into the game upon its original release.
This addition to the game allowed players to control the franchise's two playable characters - Gizmo and Stripe - and have them play through the A Dalektable Adventure and Dalek Extermination of Earth levels, and explore the Who-themed adventure world, as well as operate K9 and interact with the Doctor's TARDIS.
In turn, this allowed the player to explore the Gremlins adventure world as the Doctor or the Cyberman, as well as using the related vehicles & objects - the R.C. Racer and the Flash 'n' Finish - in any world.
In promotional material for the game, the Gremlins content was advertised in the promotional video New Adventures Await! [+]Loading...["New Adventures Await! (webcast)"] with the section set in the Land of Ooo featuring scenes of Gizmo and the Wicked Witch of the West being splashed with water by B.A. Baracus' van, Gizmo charging into battle alongside others, including the Twelfth Doctor, and the participants of the battle winding up in a mosh pit, with Gizmo directly next to the Doctor.
Howie Mandel reprised his role as Gizmo in LEGO Dimensions [+]Loading...["LEGO Dimensions (video game)"] and New Adventures Await! [+]Loading...["New Adventures Await! (webcast)"].
