Bossa (ボッサ?, Bossa) and Nova (ノヴァ?, Nova) are two primitive people who appear in Bossa Nova in Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Story
Bossa and Nova lived in a split-level cave in a trendy part of Big Field with Fruit Trees. They are a charming, witty, urbane couple who are adored by their neighbors. Bossa's work, which involves promoting conch-shell performances, takes him all over Big Field, and he is loved by all the animals, especially the elderly ones who appreciate his old-world manners. Nova meanwhile does housework, like cleaning the rooms, doing the laundry, and tending to flowers[1]. They seem to pass their time by playing volleyball, although the ceiling in their cave was too low[2]. If the player performs poorly in Bossa Nova, the two are seen splitting apart.
Nova is a well-known artist, and her paintings can be seen in all the best nearby caves. One day, Bossa took a day off to help Nova move the largest painting she's ever done to a cave near Big Hole with Mastodon Skeleton in It. She was paid with a lot of shiny stones and flint tools by an art collector. Bossa and Nova worked together to move the painting and hang it on the wall. The art collector was afraid that it would clash with the other pieces in the room, so they commissioned Nova to make more paintings to replaces them. They considered having Bossa quit his job to become Nova's full-time agent[3].
Bossa is known to get up early to tend to his garden, and his vegetables are said to be the best in the land. They are also full of vitamins, which is ideal for the elders' withered bodies[4]. Nova makes his lunch every day before he sets off to work. On one particular day, as Bossa took a break by a big tree to eat his lunch, the smell attracted some young bears. He shared his lunch with them, and then took an afternoon nap in the sun. He then visited the old animals in the forest to check on them, and gave them his delicious vegetables and Nova's bread. He called out to the old owl Nonna Gufo (Nonna Gufo?, Granny Owl)[5] who had a special box set aside for him. He thanked her and went home. Nova meanwhile was doing her chores and had gone out shopping after lunch. She first went to the watchmaker as her Monkey Watch was worn out, and the Small Monkeys had to be changed. Due to this, they were late to one of the Clappy Trio's shows the other day[6]. She bought a rainbow-colored candle that Bossa asked for, then returned home and made pizza for dinner, which is Bossa's favorite. She of course used Bossa's vegetables. When Bossa returned home, he was greeted with the romantic atmosphere and Nova giving him a kiss. Bossa then opened the special box revealing a cake. It turned out it was Nova's birthday[7].
At some point, Bossa and Nova moved out to a new house in a giant tree. They like it better because it is warmer than their old cave, has a beautiful night view, and it has a volleyball court in the yard. They have expressed a desire to have children[8]. Their only complaint is that the neighborhood has a few loud mastodons[9].

Lorsqu'il est parti aux champs, Nova fait le ménage dans les chambres et s'occupe de la lessive. Ensuite, elle s'accorde une courte pause, puis va arroser le parterre de fleurs situé devant l'entrée." (Nova works hard too. Every morning, she gets up early to prepare Bossa's snack. When he left for the fields, Nova cleaned the rooms and took care of the laundry. Then she gives herself a short break, then goes to water the flower bed located in front of the entrance.) ~ Dialogue in Bossa Nova, Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise (French)

C'est le rêve !" (It's our little nest of love and altitude. To think that before, we lived in a cave... much too low of ceiling to play volleyball! There, we have a ground just for us in the yard.

"It definitely makes the cave come alive," says the art collector, "but I'm afraid it just won't do. It clashes with the other pieces. Unless... I can commission some more of your work to replace them?" Bossa and Nova grin. It may be time for Bossa to quit his job promoting conch-shell performances and become Nova's full-time agent... THE END" ~ Dialogue in Bossa Nova, Rhythm Heaven Fever

Primero se pasa por el relojero para que le eche un vistazo a su Monorreloj que últimamente no hace más que atrasar. Por su culpa, el otro día Bossa y Nova llegaron tarde al espectáculo del Trío saleroso." (As today is a wonderful day, she takes a fine cardigan and a cuckoo straw hat to go out.

When Bossa had left, she did her chores and put some flowers in a vase. Bossa took a break by a big tree. He ate lunch and tried to decide what shapes the clouds made in the sky. He shared his food with some young bears that were drawn by the smell of Nova's delicious food. After lunch, Bossa took a nap in the afternoon sun. Nova went out shopping after lunch. Recently, her Monkey Watch had worn out so she went to get the monkeys changed. Then she bought a rainbow-coloured candle that Bossa wanted. Bossa visited the forest's old animals to make sure they were ok. He gave them his delicious veg and Nova's bread. Bossa's visits always made them happy. Nova returned from the shops and made dinner. She made Bossa's favourite food, pizza. Of course, she used Bossa's vegetables. Bossa finally called in to see the old owl who had a special box for him. He thanked her and went home. Nova set the table, dimmed the lights and finished the pizza. Bossa returned to this wonderful sight. Nova gave him a kiss. Bossa put the box on the table and took out a cake. He then took the special candle and placed it on the top. As they gazed into each other's eyes, Bossa said, Happy Birthday!" ~ Dialogue in Bossa Nova, Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise (English)

- ↑ "À ce moment précis, la porte s'ouvre doucement. C'est Bossa qui rentre des champs. Nova se lance sur lui et l'accueille en l'embrassant tendrement sur la joue. Bossa enlève son manteau et l'accroche à côté de la porte d'entrée. Il se déchausse, puis dirige ensuite ses pas vers la table pour y déposer un gâteau appétissant." (At this precise moment, the door opens slowly. It is Bossa who returns from the fields. Nova throws herself at him and welcomes him by kissing him tenderly on the cheek. Bossa takes off his coat and hangs it next to the front door. He takes off his shoes, then directs his steps towards the table to place an appetizing cake on it.) ~ Dialogue in Bossa Nova, Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise (French)
