[[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Character Profiles 1|These strange beings]] live on planet Ping-Pong<ref>"ピンポンをしていないと元気がなくなってしまいます。まれに、ダンサーに転身する種族もいるようです。" (People who live on the planet Ping Pong. If they don't play ping pong, they lose their energy. In rare cases, some of them seem to turn into dancers.) ~ [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Character Profiles 1|プロフィール１]] (Profiles 1), ''Rhythm Tengoku Gold''</ref>, and on a diet of table tennis. If they stop playing, they grow weak and sickly. Some have successfully weaned themselves off table tennis by substituting paddle ball. In rare cases, some of them turn into [[Space Dancers|dancers]]<ref name="Gold"/>. | |||
They are also [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Supporting Cast 1|described]] as being racing fans, appearing in [[Freeze Frame]]. A pair of Paddlers can also be spotted in the crowd in [[Battle of the Bands]]. The image of a Paddler can be seen occasionally in [[Cheer Readers 2]]. | |||
Throughout ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', the Paddlers play table tennis is a variety of locations, such as a [[Rhythm Rally 2|featureless white plain]], a tropical island (where their color changes to orange), and outer space on a UFO. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', they play in a [[Practice|cardboard room]], on a [[Rhythm Rally|giant flower]], a [[Rhythm Rally 2|giant cake]] and a [[Barbershop Remix|barbershop]] (where their color changes to red). In [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally]], they take on the appearance of the [[Cosmo Dancers]]. | Throughout ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', the Paddlers play table tennis is a variety of locations, such as a [[Rhythm Rally 2|featureless white plain]], a tropical island (where their color changes to orange), and outer space on a UFO.

In [[Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic#05 彼らのダンスがすごい理由の巻 (Why Their Dance is Amazing by Maki)|Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic 05, "Why Their Dance is | In [[Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic#05 彼らのダンスがすごい理由の巻 (Why Their Dance is Amazing by Maki)|Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic 05, "Why Their Dance is Amazing by Maki"]], a trio of Paddlers are shown trying to do the [[Space Dance]], but always coming up short. Suddenly, what appears to be [[Space Gramps]] in Paddler attire comes in to suggest they play table tennis to get back in the groove. They find this method to work, and continue their dancing, albiet as [[Space Dancers]]. | ||

*Although | *Although [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Character Profiles 1|プロフィール１]]" ''(Profiles 1)'' in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku Gold]]'' states that "some of them seem to turn into dancers", which is also shown in the [[Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic#05 彼らのダンスがすごい理由の巻 (Why Their Dance is Amazing by Maki)|Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic]], this is contradicted by "[[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Supporting Cast 1|Supporting Cast 1]]" in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' which states the paddlers 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]]''. | ||
The presence of Paddlers who look like the [[Cosmo Dancers]] in [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally]] implies that both [[Space Dancers]] and [[Cosmo Dancers]] come from different looking Paddlers. | |||
