==[[Skill Star]]==
The Skill Star appears on the three consecutive jumps in the middle of the game.
==[[Challenge Land]]==
{{PAGENAME}} appears in the following [[Challenge Train]] courses:
*The name 'Flock Step' is a possible reference to ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'''s [[Lockstep]].
*The large sphere with a smiley face from [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally|Rhythm Rally 2]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' makes a cameo during the zoom-out segment.
**Further examined, both games objective's are to step in rhythm in a group.
**Despite the sphere being redesigned to resemble the [[Cosmo Dancers]] in [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', this change was not reflected in Flock Step.
*The Huebirds later appear in the [[Night Walk (Wii)|Night Walk]] credits game, flying by in a huge flock partway through it.
*[[The Huebirds of Happiness]] later appear in [[Night Walk (Wii)|Night Walk]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', flying by in a huge flock partway through.
*In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', both this minigame and [[Tap Trial]] have the same Superb message "It feels good to belong", except that Flock Step's Superb message has a full stop at the end while Tap Trial's has an exclamation point.
==Development History==
*According to debug notes found in the files of [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix|''Rhythm Heaven Megamix'']], this game, [[Board Meeting]], [[Fork Lifter]], and [[Packing Pests]] would have its story mode variant added in that game but got cut for unknown reasons.
