Dough Dudes

Dough Dudes (ワークまん), known as Dough in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise, are four living pieces of dough working to transport various orbs in Working Dough in Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix. Each pair of little and big dough appear to be treated as a singular entity.

Mr. Game & Watch (Ｍｒ．ゲーム＆ウォッチ) is a composite character representing the generic humanoids from the Game & Watch series, who also appears in Working Dough. His appearance changes in each game.

Story
The Dough Dudes work to transport fuel orbs to refuel a ship leaving for Planet Dough. The veteran on the left teaches the rookie on the right how to do so. During this job, Mr. Game & Watch operates a lever controlling the gates from which the fuel orbs are transported. In the middle of the game, he leaves and takes a ride on one of the fuel orbs instead, and is later seen inside the ship. At the end, the final orb is transported, and the ship blasts off. After work, the workers have a conversation about the aftermath of their work. The veteran reveals he keeps See and Saw at the ready in case of emergencies, such as to fling Mr. Game & Watch back onto the ship after the rookie missed the fuel orb he was riding. The veteran and rookie seem to be good friends.

In Working Dough 2, they reside in teapots and transport fuel orbs in front of a large woman with a dough face, who is aided by some Space-Rabbits. Mr. Game & Watch's appearance in Working Dough is based on Mario's Cement Factory, while in Working Dough 2, it is based on Judge, while also dressed in a purple robe and holding what looks like a gardening tool.

The Dough Dudes return in Remix 3, now sitting in cooking pots. Mr. Game & Watch also reappears, with his appearance now based on Chef. The Dough Dudes also return (without Mr. Game & Watch) in Remix 8 and Donut Remix. If the player inputs the codeword BOUTS into Police Call, they receive a call in which a battle between two characters is heard. One of the randomly selected fighters is the Dough Dudes. Occasionally, the player will receive kagami mochi resembling the Dough Dudes in Mochi Pounding.

People can visit the factory to see the spaceship. They are given a pair of edible dumplings resembling the Dough Dudes as souvenirs. The Dough dudes also appear in Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic 25はたらかないまんじゅう (Not Working Dough), where some Dough Dudes are talking about their job, with the one on the left asking the one on the right if they get how to do the job, about the big ones, and how they don't get paid for their work.

In Super Smash Bros.
The Dough Dudes themselves don't appear in the Super Smash Bros. Series, but their associate, Mr. Game & Watch, originated from Super Smash Bros. Melee as a fighter. He is a composite representation of the generic humanoids found in the Game & Watch series, with his default appearance being based on the generic people in Fire and Parachute. Since debuting in Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mr. Game & Watch has appeared in all subsequent games in the series, and various other Nintendo games, including the WarioWare Series, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Super Mario Odyssey, and of course, Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
