Samurai Slice (DS)/Development

Let's table this for now...

The following content comes from pre-release material, was changed in other regions, or is unused in the game.

Rhythm Heaven

We'll need more research.
And maybe a dance party.

The Cutting Room Floor has a section on Samurai Slice's regional differences.

Samurai Slice consists of the following versions in Rhythm Heaven:

Internal Name	Image	Used in
samurai		Samurai Slice

Unused Content

There are unused sprites in this game, depicting the Ninjas from Ninja Bodyguard, and Tiny Ninja from WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!, who appeared in the microgames Stick & Move, Arrow Space and Ninja Vision. Some of the sprites from these microgrames (such as the rock and tree in the background, along with the general aesthetic) were reused directly in this game.

Regional Differences

The Wandering Samurai has a different appearance in Rhythm World, his clothing looking like a "pojol" (Korean police during the Joseon period). He was also given a beard. Samurai Slice in Rhythm Heaven Fever and Super Samurai Slice in Rhythm Heaven Megamix also got redesigned characters, though The Wandering Samurai wears a headband instead of a hat and lacks the beard in those appearances.
