Genre-blending games

Does anyone have any idea which game holds the record for combining the most different genres into a single game? You'd think it would be an Ocean title since they were the masters of the licensed mini-game medley, but maybe there are other contenders?

Is Suburban Commando the only game that mixes platforming with beat 'em up-ing and shoot 'em up-ery? Superfrog and Zool include R-Type style sections, yet no fighting in the traditional sense. There are probably dozens of other examples.

GTA V ?

Gunstar Heroes on Mega-Drive you shoot, you jump, you beat people and there's also a shoot'em up level.
