Rhythm Heaven’s Return Points To A Big Breakout

Rhythm Heaven May Finally Make A Big Appearance In Super Smash Bros.

It’s exciting that Rhythm Heaven is back, opening up the possibility that a character from this series might be included in the upcoming Super Smash Bros.. For a long time, it seems like Super Smash Bros. has come very close to incorporating characters from Rhythm Heaven, but so far, none have been confirmed as playable. With a new game on the horizon, Masahiro Sakurai and his team will have plenty of fresh content to work with when they start developing the next installment in the Smash Bros. series.

It’s important to note that the game called Rhythm Heaven has made appearances in various Super Smash Bros. games, but its most prominent appearance was in the fourth game. In the Smash Run mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Sneaky Spirits from Rhythm Heaven were common enemies. However, this is the only instance where Rhythm Heaven has affected the gameplay of Super Smash Bros.; it has been represented in previous games through Trophies and Spirits instead.

Rhythm Heaven May Have Almost Had A Playable Smash Fighter

It’s been rumored that the Chorus Kids, significant figures in the game Rhythm Heaven, might have made an appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. Evidence from the game suggests a character from Rhythm Heaven was considered, and Gematsu leaks hinted at the Chorus Kids taking on this role. Although the latter theory has been debunked, the former points to the fact that Sakurai was at least considering incorporating these characters into the fighting series.

There’s a strong possibility that he’ll be even more eager to include characters from the Rhythm Heaven series in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. game, given its return. Historically, Super Smash Bros. has been quick to incorporate new characters following the release of a fresh game. For instance, it previously introduced several characters from Fire Emblem before their American releases. If development on the next game is far enough along, Rhythm Heaven could leverage Super Smash Bros. to boost anticipation for Rhythm Heaven Groove, which is slated for release next year.

It seems that Super Smash Bros. has come very near to incorporating substantial Rhythm Heaven representation, yet it hasn’t quite managed to include a playable character from the series.

Rhythm Heaven’s Chorus Kids Could Be Unique In Smash Bros.

Including the Chorus Kids could introduce an engaging novelty feature, since they might be managed simultaneously by players, much like the Ice Climbers. This potential control method may have been a factor preventing their inclusion in both Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, as the technical constraints of the 3DS were a key reason behind the exclusion of the Ice Climbers. However, with the Switch 2 offering greater processing power, the Chorus Kids could be developed to their full potential, potentially making them distinctive among the game’s numerous playable characters.

The news about Rhythm Heaven Groove is fantastic for Nintendo enthusiasts who have eagerly anticipated the franchise’s comeback. This development might also excite Super Smash Bros. fans, as they have longed for the Chorus Kids to be included as playable characters in Nintendo’s renowned crossover fighting series. If the new game and potential inclusion in Smash materialize, Rhythm Heaven could experience a significant surge in popularity, marking its major breakthrough into mainstream gaming.
