(finally merging these pages, because this was a long time coming. not sure if the eigo template should be at the top of the page as they DO have an official english name, but the "space dancers" name is only used in japanese.)

== Physical Appearance ==
The Paddlers are light blue, humanoid figures with box-shaped heads and white hands and faces, circular eyes, and a mouth which is depicted as being angular in some instances, and rounded in others. In the Rhythm Rally games, they are seen wearing yellow shorts with a red trim, and white socks.
 
== Backstory ==
Their dance is considered brutal because those who mistime their moves will end up getting hit the person next to them.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/stage03.html</ref>
 
The Paddlers appear frequently in weekly magazines and are considered the rivals of the [[Cosmo Dancers]]. Experts say the Paddlers can't compare to the Cosmo Dancers and their sharp moves.<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/stage06.html</ref>
 
The Paddlers are led by [[Space Gramps]], who provides them instructions in [[Space Dance]] and is revealed to be the chairman of the Rhythm League in the [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Rally Certificate|Rally Certificate]]
 
According to [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Character Profiles 1|Character Profiles 1]], they sustain themselves on a diet of table tennis, and grow weak and sickly if they stop playing the game. Some Paddlers, however, are able to substitute this for paddle ball, instead. An [http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/rhythmheaven/images/a/a4/Main_cartoon006.gif/revision/latest?cb=20151115093739 official comic] further backs this up, where the Paddlers are shown giving a poor performance during the Space Dance, but after playing a game of table tennis, are re-energized.
 
The Paddlers appear to be racing fans, as they form a crowd in [[Freeze Frame]]. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', many quartets of variously colored Paddlers also appear.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In [[Space Dance]], they are seen with yellow hands, but in other appearances and official artwork, they are seen with white hands, instead.
* An official comic suggests the [[Space Dancers]] and Paddlers are the same beings. However, this is contradicted by "[[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Character Profiles 1|Character Profiles 1]]", which states Paddlers must either be playing ping-pong or paddleball in order to not become fatigued.
** This is again contradicted by "[[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Supporting Cast 1|Supporting Cast 1]]" which states the Table Tennis players are fans of racing. This is likely because the Space Dancers appear in [[Freeze Frame]], but their game was not officially localized until [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]].
