| | [[Character Profiles 1|These strange beings]] live on planet Ping-Pong<ref name="Gold">"ピンポンをしていないと元気がなくなってしまいます。まれに、ダンサーに転身する種族もいるようです。" (People who live on the planet Ping Pong. If they don't play ping pong, they lose their energy. In rare cases, some of them seem to turn into dancers.) ~ [[Character Profiles 1|プロフィール１]] (Profiles 1), ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Gold]]''</ref>, and on a diet of table tennis. If they stop playing, they grow weak and sickly. Some have successfully weaned themselves off table tennis by substituting paddle ball. In rare cases, some of them turn into [[Space Dancers|dancers]]<ref name="Gold"/>. | ||

They are also [[Supporting Cast 1|described]] as being [[Racing Fans]], appearing in [[Freeze Frame]]. A pair of Paddlers can also be spotted in the crowd in [[Battle of the Bands]]. The image of a Paddler can be seen occasionally in [[Cheer Readers 2]]. | |||
Throughout ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', the Paddlers play table tennis is a variety of locations, such as a [[Rhythm Rally 2|featureless white plain]], a [[Remix 2 (DS)|tropical island]] (where their color changes to orange), and [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally|outer space on a UFO]]. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', they play in a [[Practice|cardboard room]], on a [[Rhythm Rally|giant flower]], a [[Rhythm Rally 2|giant cake]] and a [[Barbershop Remix|barbershop]] (where their color changes to red). In [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally]], they take on the appearance of the [[Cosmo Dancers]]. They also appear on a portrait in the [[Café]]. | |||
Paddlers who perform outstandingly at the Rhythm Rally Table Tennis Tourney are presented with a [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)|rally certificate]] by the Chairman of the [[Rhythm League]], [[Space Gramps]], though this is decided on how rhythmic they were rather than their performance. Ratings from others, such as the referee<ref>"Ref's Call" ~ results caption for [[Rhythm Rally]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref> or simply around the table<ref>"Table Talk" ~ results caption for [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally]] ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref> is often judged on more literal merits, such as reflexes or being able to master the basics. | |||
In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic]]'' [[Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic#05 彼らのダンスがすごい理由の巻 (Why Their Dance is Amazing by Maki)|05 彼らのダンスがすごい理由の巻]] (Why Their Dance is Amazing by Maki), a trio of Paddlers are shown trying to do the [[Space Dance]], but always coming up short. Suddenly, what appears to be [[Space Gramps]] in Paddler attire comes in to suggest they play table tennis to get back in the groove. They find this method to work, and continue their dancing, albeit as [[Space Dancers]]. | |||
