Regional Differences

The trophy for The Chorus Kids in Dairantō Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS mentions various characters from Rhythm Tengoku. This was localized as a mention of the Love Lizards instead, as most international players wouldn't understand the references.

コーラスメン		Translation
	不思議ふしぎな魅力みりょくのキャラクターの多おおさでいえば、『リズム天国てんごく』の右みぎに出でる作品さくびんはそんなにない。たとえば「子孫しそんたち」「ウラおとこ」「わるもの」、ひねったのか、そのままなのか、わからない。また、「ミニ町人ちょうにん」「ラブさん」「トランとポリン」、かわいい、なんていうか、とてもかわいい。そんな中なかから今回こんかい、「コーラスメン」をどうぞ。	When it comes to having many mysterious and charming characters, there are not many works to the right of Rhythm Heaven. For example, Shison-tachi, Mr. Upbeat, Waru Mono, I don't know if they were twisted or have always been like that. Meanwhile, Mini Chōnin, Love-san, Tram and Poline are cute, very cute. Please enjoy the Chorus Kids this time.

The Chorus Kids
	There are few games with as many charming characters as the Rhythm Heaven series. Take those groovy Love Lizards, for example. Birds could learn a thing or two from them. And what about the Chorus Kids? They look adorable with their little bow ties, but things get odd when they open their mouths...	When it comes to the weird and wonderful, the Rhythm Paradise series has got all other games beat. Take those groovy Love Lizards, for example. Birds could learn a thing or two from them. And what about the Chorus Kids? They look adorable with their little bow ties, but things get a bit freakish when they open their mouths...

Unused Content

A blank series emblem for an unknown Rhythm Heaven character exists in the data for this game, but goes unused. This data is absent from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS.

Gematsu Leak

A leak from the gaming site Gematsu, disclosed by an anonymous tipper, claimed that the Chorus Kids from Rhythm Heaven would be included in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. While the validity of these leaks are questionable, a majority of the other rumored fighters mentioned in this series of leaks were added to Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U. Chrom from the Fire Emblem series—the other rumored fighter aside from the Chorus Kids to not be playable in the games—was eventually confirmed to have been originally planned for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, and the character eventually made his playable debut in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
