==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In the files for ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]'' there exists a set of [[TCRF:Rhythm Heaven Megamix/Unused Graphics#Test Game|unused graphics for a test game]], of which contains graphics of three characters (notably, a trio of two boys and a girl) that bear a striking resemblance to the Toss Boys.
*The appearance of the symbols on their shirts resemble how the buttons look on the standard [[niwanetwork:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] model. In [[Remix 5 (GBA)|Remix 5]], the lowercase letters resemble what's used on the [[niwanetwork:Game Boy Micro|Game Boy Micro]] instead. The colored symbols in [[Toss Boys 2]] do not appear to be based on any official hardware.
*[[TCRF:Rhythm Heaven Megamix/Unused Graphics#Test Game|Graphics for an unused test game]] found in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]'' show a trio of characters who bear a resemblance to the Toss Boys. They consist of a bald boy with a yellow headband (resembling Kii-yan), a boy with blue hair which sticks up in the middle (similar to Ao-kun), and a girl with red hair with pigtails (much like Aka-chan), who also appears to be the playable character of the game.
