Technically, that's still a cross-over. Read this part again:

"A fictional crossover (short: crossover) is the placement of two or more otherwise discrete fictional characters, settings, or universes into the context of a single story."

"You can't have a crossover where you use Mario's character but put Luigi's picture. That is not called a crossover. It's called no imagination. And no, it does not qualify as a good example. It does not qualify as an example at all."

The inherent principle is the same. If I paint an apple orange and remove the stem, does it become an orange?

The answer, is, of course, no.

Actually, this:

"Like spiderman and the punisher (animated episodes that I recall watching as a child."

Spider-Man and the Punisher both belong to the same universe: the Marvel Universe. If you've ever read comic books you'd understand that it's not uncommon for characters to appear in other characters' stories.
