Widget's first appearance in [[Rhythm Tengoku|''Rhythm Tengoku'']] was in its first rhythm game, [[Built to Scale (GBA)|Built to Scale]], as a red rod. It very soon later appears in the [[Remix 4 (GBA)|fourth remix]] alongside the four other games in Set 4 other games. Much later, it reappears along with every other game in [[Remix 6 (GBA)|Remix 6]]. And it gets a sequel minigame [[Built to Scale 2 (GBA)|Built to Scale 2]].

A precursor to the Widgets first appears in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' in the Rhythm Game [[Polyrhythm]], referred to as a {{Nihongo|'''Red Thing'''|赤いモノ|Akai mono}}. In the game, the Red Things roll along two raised paths, the player must press the corresponding button to raise the blocks when the Red Things reach a gap. If the Red Thing collides with a wall, it would explode.

Widget appears in many games in [[Rhythm Heaven|''Rhythm Heaven'']]. It first appears in the minigame [[Built to Scale (DS)|Built to Scale]], which has the rod and the nuts have a white color, notably being the first non sequel/remix game in the game. Right after that, it reappears in set 1's remix, [[Remix 1 (DS)|Remix 1]]. Many games later, it appears in [[Built to Scale 2 (DS)|Built to Scale 2]], which has the rod and the nuts have a red color. It also has parts in the last two remixes, [[Remix 9 (DS)|Remix 9]], and [[Remix 10 (DS)|Remix 10]].

==''Rhythm Heaven Fever''==
Widgets first appear in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', in the first Rhythm Game, [[Built to Scale (DS)|Built to Scale]], where they are portrayed as a rod and nuts with a white color. The player must wait for the nuts to roll into place, then launch the rod into them to form the Widget.
In [[Rhythm Heaven Fever|''Rhythm Heaven Fever'']], the square mass-production objects appear in many different games as cameo, however they are usually Easter-eggs. It first appears, as with the other games in the Rhythm Heaven series, in [[Built to Scale (Wii)|Built to Scale]], which has the rods red and the nuts white. This rhythm game takes place right before the [[Remix 3 (Wii)|third remix]], it appearing again. It gets a sequel minigame in [[Built to Scale 2 (Wii)|Built to Scale 2]], then gets parts in [[Remix 8 (Wii)|Remix 8]] afterwards, and in the[[Remix 10 (Wii)| final remix]], it appearing in that as well. This proves that Widget is the most recurring character in the Rhythm Heaven series.

The square mass-production objects appear again in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', first appearing in [[Built to Scale (Wii)|Built to Scale]], where the player must toss around red rods while waiting for two nuts to come into place, after which the player must launch the rod into them to form the Widget.
In [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix|''Rhythm Heaven Megamix'']], the widgets return with the Bonus returning Wii version of [[Built to Scale (Megamix)|Built to Scale]].
