Warioware and Rhythm Heaven were both developed by the same team and have the same art director, so the two series have frequently referenced each other in their games.

I do not own either of these two series.

  • Warioware devs looking at Rhythm Heaven and thinking: "Oh, who has created this fabulous game series I wonder???"
  • I'm honestly impressed at how well they were able to resist just filling the entire games with references. By doing so they have been able to keep the identities of both games unique.
  • @PyroArina
    From all of these references, I feel like it's pretty safe to say that these two franchises exist in the same universe. Meaning, the rhythm heaven franchise also exists within the Mario universe.
  • @MemeScreen
    Just give me a Rhythm Heaven on the switch already.
  • @kirstenonic05
    At this point, it feels like the devs want these two series to exist in the same universe
  • @G3ntle
    A lot of these references come naturally because both series actually share a character artist! Ko Takeuchi!
  • You forgot to mention the Alien Bunnies being in every Rhythm Heaven game, and The Wandering Samurai appearing in a microgame in Game & Wario's Gamer mode.

    At 4:16 in Mona's room, just underneath the barista is a rhythm tweezers onion in a pink bag!
  • @SrB880_UTTD
    Fun fact: the female student of Kung Fu ball returns in warioware move it but with new name, cicada
  • @sasqule8321
    0:56 Bro really mentioned the monkey but not the Glee Club reference.
  • @Kaisona2017
    So from what I’m able to gather at 3:49, 9 Volt’s school studies the Huebirds of Happiness. Likely, in relation to their migration patterns.
  • @AMIGACD
    SPOILER . . . . . . the appearance of young crickets training partner in his stage for warioware move it (hell they even gave her a name: Cicada) basically confirms theyre in the same world more heavily
  • One thing you missed: the Kung Fu Ball girl can also be seen in Mantis’ gallery in Get It Together
  • @ShyGuyXXL
    There's another reference in Rhythm Tengoku. One of the results screens of the Quiz Show stages shows a city and a bridge, which looks almost identical to a shot from Dribble & Spitz's intro in WarioWare Inc.
  • @lenlenlenlene
    I genuinely do hope that they make another RH game, they love to reference it and it'd be neat to see a new game reference warioware again too
  • Even though there hasn’t been a Rhythm Heaven game in ages, it makes me happy that the devs clearly adore the series just as much as the fans do. This gives me hope for a new game, and even if it never happens, just seeing the references makes me smile.
  • @RyneMcKinney
    I didn't know Warioware had references as early as Smooth Moves. The only game was Tengoku at the time
  • @Wobuffet3
    i love this video. gets right to the point without fluff or any obnoxious voiceovers
  • The way this video ws made feels like it was something from 2009 and I love it.
  • This makes me wonder how we don't have a Rhythm Heaven game on Switch after all those years
