Sarge is characterised by his stern attitude as he gives out orders. The squadmates are still inexperienced, which angers him. Since following orders as a unit is important in their line of work, even when marching they give it their all. If the rhythm is off by even a little, Sarge will be furious. That said, he is also a mischievous character<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/stage01.html キャラクターアルバム ステージ１] (Character Album Stage 1)</ref>, as he also gives orders to the [[Alien Bunnies]] while dressed in a bunny costume himself, and he secretly joins a team with three other Sarges on a secret mission, although the details are left unspecified<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/secret.html キャラクターアルバム もろもろ] (Character Album Various)</ref>. | ||

They are also similar in that the games are military themed, [[Captain Tuck]]'s face resembles that of the Sarge, and the playable Squadmate is shown keeping an [[Rhythm Shiryo Shitsu#マーチャ活動記録 (Marcher Activity Log)|Activity Log]], similar to the [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Blue Bird Diary|Blue Bird Diary]] and [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven Fever)|Expedition Journal]], down to the same dates. | ||
*In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' and [[Marcher Tempo Up!|Marcher]] [[File:TempoUpExtra3.png|72px]], the sprite of the squadmate's head when facing forward is separated into the helmet and the head. The head in the former has red hair identical to what is seen in the credits of the game, while the latter has nondescript orange hair. The rotated head sprites for the turns and all the sprites in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' are a single sprite, however. | *In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' and [[Marcher Tempo Up!|Marcher]] [[File:TempoUpExtra3.png|72px]], the sprite of the squadmate's head when facing forward is separated into the helmet and the head.
