Super Smash Bros. (series)

Super Smash Bros. (大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ^?, Dairantō Smash Brothers) is a series of crossover fighting games published by Nintendo, featuring characters from franchises established on Nintendo systems. The Rhythm Heaven Series has made minor appearances in these games.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Super Smash Bros. Melee predates the Rhythm Heaven Series. This game introduces the character of Mr. Game & Watch, who would go on to appear in every game in the Super Smash Bros. Series since, and various other Nintendo games, including Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Rhythm Tengoku is mentioned among the titles listed in the Chronicle in Dairantou Smash Bros. X. However, no other content from the series is featured anywhere else in the game.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Sneaky Spirits appear as a common enemy in Smash Run in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. They move just like they did in the original game, by popping up and down in the ground, moving toward the player slowly, then jumping back to do it again. The popping can damage a player. Since they hide often and move quickly, hitting them can be difficult. However, they are weak otherwise, and managing to hit them enough sends them flying off, dropping a rare star boost, which ups all the stats of the player's character.

Three characters appear as trophies in the "Other" category:

The Chorus Kids
	There are few games with as many charming characters as the Rhythm Heaven series. Take those groovy Love Lizards, for example. Birds could learn a thing or two from them. And what about the Chorus Kids? They look adorable with their little bow ties, but things get odd when they open their mouths...	When it comes to the weird and wonderful, the Rhythm Paradise series has got all other games beat. Take those groovy Love Lizards, for example. Birds could learn a thing or two from them. And what about the Chorus Kids? They look adorable with their little bow ties, but things get a bit freakish when they open their mouths...

Karate Joe
	Has there ever been a cry more manly than the "Uh!" that appears at the start of every Karate Joe stage? It's like he digs deep down inside himself, reveals his spirit with that "Uh!" of power...and then directs that energy into smashing flowerpots, bulbs, and exploding barrels. Karate Joe knows no fear!	Has there ever been a cry more manly than the "Uh!" that appears at the start of every Karate Man stage? Doesn't it sound like it comes from the very bottom of his soul? Or is that just us? ...Anyway! Karate Joe is a pretty cool guy. He punches flowerpots, bulbs, even exploding barrels without the slightest hesitation. Truly, he fears nothing.

Sneaky Spirits
	Skinny white ghosts that travel with a smirk on their face. They move like they do in Rhythm Heaven, popping up and down in rhythm before trying to run away. If you manage to defeat one, you'll earn a star-shaped stat boost that improves all of your stats. Time your attacks and keep them from escaping.	These white apparitions seem to have permanent smirks on their faces. Much like in the Rhythm Paradise series, they'll pop up rhythmically from a hiding place beneath the floor, then run away to a distant location. If you do manage to defeat one, you'll get a reward for your troubles, So pay attention to the rhythm and strike!

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Two songs from the series are included in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: Blue Birds from Rhythm Heaven, and Monkey Watch (with the high-five sound effects mixed in and a seamless loop) from Rhythm Heaven Fever. These songs are playable on the Miiverse stage.

Additionally, a blank series emblem for a Rhythm Heaven character exists in the data for this game, but goes unused. This is oddly absent from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

Two characters appear as trophies in the "Other" category:

Marshal, Cam, and Miss Ribbon
	From the right: Cam, Marshal, and Miss Ribbon. Cam is quiet and looks like a thinker, but his mind is actually a blank slate. Marshal looks cute and can be relied upon. Miss Ribbon looks innocent but is really quite stubborn. Some think these guys are related to the Chorus Kids from the previous Rhythm Heaven.	The white one is Matt, the blue one's Cam, and the pink one's Miss Ribbon. Matt looks like a dreamer, but he's pretty down-to-earth. Cam always seems to be deep in thought, but he's really just spacing out. And Miss Ribbon seems innocent and sweet, but is actually pretty stubborn. Are these guys related to the Chorus Kids?

Wrestler and Reporter
	Live from the Rhythm Arena! When the reporter asks, "Wubbadubbadubba, 'zat true?" the wrestler will answer on the beat. When the reporter is amazed and says, "Whoa, you go, big guy!" the wrestler will flex and pose. Finally, when the other reporters request the wrestler to "pose for the fans!" he will do just that. Wubbadubbadubba, that's cool!	Live from the Rhythm Arena, we bring you a true wrestling phenomenon! Swoon as he displays his outstanding physique! Marvel at his enlightening responses whenever he hears "Wubbadubbadubba, 'zat true?" And when he poses for the fans, we won't blame you if you faint. Whoa, you go, big guy!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

The music used in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U returns, along with Fruit Basket, this time playing on the Summit, Hannenbow, Balloon Fight, Living Room, Find Mii, Tomodachi Life, Pictochat 2, Duck Hunt, Wrecking Crew, Pilotwings and Wuhu Island stages, i.e., stages in the "Other" category.

Several characters appear as Spirits. The Rhythm Heaven Series holds the distinction for having the most Spirits out of any non-fighter-represented series.
