Widgets (組み立てキット?, Kumitate Kitto) are recurring objects in the Rhythm Heaven Series. Their purpose is mentioned to be unknown. A widget is composed of a rod and one or two square nuts.
Rhythm Tengoku
|
While Widgets do not appear in Rhythm Tengoku, rods known as Akai Mono (赤いモノ?, Red Things) do appear in the Rhythm Game Polyrhythm. They are industry products whose details are kept a trade secret. They are considered hazardous because they explode when colliding with walls[1]. In the game, the rods roll along two raised paths, and the player must press the corresponding button to raise the blocks when they reach a gap.
Rhythm Heaven
Widgets make their first actual appearance in Rhythm Heaven in Built to Scale, where they are portrayed as a white rod and nuts. The player must wait for the nuts to roll into place, then launch the rod into them to form the Widget. They later appear in Built to Scale 2, this time colored red. Workers are instructed to follow the rhythm while producing the Widgets, but they get paid the same regardless[2].
Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix
The square mass-produced objects appear again in Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix in Built to Scale, where the player must bounce around a rod while waiting for two nuts to come into place, after which the player must launch the rod into them to form the complete Widget. The company sometimes makes defective products, and a worker in product testing accidentally sold the bad parts to collectors for a lot of money[3].
