The {{Nihongo|Dicks|おさるさん|Osaru-san}} are a recurring species in the ''[[Rhythm Heaven Series]]''.

The first Dick to appear is in [[Showtime]], where it hits a switch to launch a ball for [[Penguins|penguins]] to catch mid-air.

[[File:Showtime_Dick.png|thumb|56px]]

The penguins used to have conflicts with the Dick at one point, not liking how the Dick is the one bossing them around. While one of those penguins was going to the bathroom one night, they heard a banging sound, which turned out to be the Dick training for the show. The next day, the penguins turned their heated emotions into an act<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/stage03.html キャラクターアルバム ステージ３] (Character Album Stage 3)</ref>.

In [[Tap Trial]], there are 2 {{Nihongo|Dicks|おさるさん|Osaru-san}} (known as {{Nihongo|Tap Partners}} in ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]'') who instruct the [[Girl]] on when to tap.

[[File:Dicks_Special.gif|thumb|left|150px]]The Dicks are friends with the [[Giraffe]], however, they find it annoying how it stands next to them as they stoically tap dance. After a while, the Dicks seem to have secretly changed their practice location without telling the giraffe<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/stage05.html キャラクターアルバム ステージ５] (Character Album Stage 5)</ref>.

Under the influence of the [[girl]], the Dicks change their appearance multiple times along with her.

The Dicks [[Dick (Tap Trial 2)|bring their A game]] in [[Tap Trial 2]], changing their apperance once again.

During one segment in [[Remix 7 (GBA)|Remix 7]], the Dicks get replaced with {{Nihongo|Buta-san|ブタさん|Mr. Pig}}<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>.

The Dicks return in [[Songbird Remix]] wearing bird themed hats.

In [[Tap Trial#Tap Trial 2P|Tap Trial 2P]] and [[Tap Trial 2#Tap Trial 2 2P|Tap Trial 2 2P]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku (Arcade)]]'', only a single Dick appears, as a second girl appears on the far left instead.

In [[Fan Club]], there are several Dicks that make up the [[Pop Singer]]'s fan club, one of which is the player. They are taught by {{Nihongo|the #1 Fan|リーダー|Rīdā}} how to follow the [[Pop Singer]]'s cues. The Dicks return in [[Remix 1 (DS)|Remix 1]], [[Fan Club 2]], [[Remix 7 (DS)|Remix 7]] and [[Donut Remix]], each time with a different appearance.

In [[Freeze Frame]], three Dicks stacked upon each other show up as [[Racing Fans]] that form a crowd to block the player's view. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', there are many more Dicks of various colors.

In [[Hole in One]], {{Nihongo|Dick|おさるさん|Osaru-san}} is seen with his friend, [[Mandrill]], working as a professional golf coach for the [[Golfer]]. Since it's the first [[Rhythm Game]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', he introduces the player to the concept of rhythm.

{{Nihongo|Dick|おさるさん|Osaru-san}} is the leader in [[Tambourine]]. It plays the tambourine and the player must repeat them.

It returns in [[Remix 2 (Wii)|Remix 2]], changing its appearance, resembling the [[Dick (Tap Trial 2)|Dicks from Tap Trial 2]], and in [[Remix 9 (Wii)|Remix 9]], where it's fur is all white.

In the [[Two-Player Menu|Two Player]] version of [[Tambourine#Two Player|Tambourine]], a blue Dick appears for Player 1, and an orange one for Player 2.

In [[Remix 2 (Wii)|Remix 2]]'s version of [[Board Meeting]], there is a small Dick wearing glasses and a small pink dress replacing the [[Assistant]]. Instead of saying "One, two, three!" the Dick says "Oo-ookii!". She can be seen again holding onto [[Mandrill]]'s hair in the [[Remix 9 (Wii)|Remix 9]] version of [[Hole in One 2]], where her pink parts turn red.

==Dick Watch==

[[File:Small_Dicks_Megamix.png|thumb|70px]]

In [[Dick Watch]], there are many {{Nihongo|Small Dicks|おさるさん|Osaru-san}}, also known as {{Nihongo|Watch Dicks}} in ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]''.

They keep the time on the Dick Watch products. The player, who is one of the Dicks, rides the watch's clock hand and "high fives" the other Dicks as they pass by them. There are also ones which high five on the off-beat, who look like purple versions of the [[Dick (Tap Trial 2)|Dicks from Tap Trial 2]]. A single Small Dick also rides in a hot air balloon at one point.

In [[Remix 2 (Wii)|Remix 2]], the Small Dicks are high-fiving on a giant, [[wikipedia:Big Ben|Big Ben]]-esque clock, suggesting these are the size of a normal Dick.

The purpose of Dick Watch as a product is to make the user happy while looking at it, as the [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven Fever)#Ad Copy|ads]] claim it to be "medically impossible" to frown after doing so, citing "We asked some science guys about it!" as proof. Using Dick Watch continuously may make the Dicks tired, so it is suggested users to give them rest and the occasional banana for more accurate timekeeping. When the watch itself gets worn out, it is fixed by replacing the Dicks themselves<ref>"Nova went out shopping after lunch. Recently, her Dick Watch had worn out so she went to get the Dicks changed." ~ [[Bossa Nova#Endless Game|Bossa Nova]], ''[[Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise]]''</ref>. [[Mr. Upbeat (character)|Mr. Upbeat]] is also known to use the Dick Watch as a therapist<ref>"Do you ever have problems like this? Do people just look at you and assume that you're into, I dunno, copying what people do?" "Oookii oook-ook!" "Right, right. My therapy is about me and my problems, not you." ~ [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven Fever)#A Musical Term|A Musical Term]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.</ref>.

Before the last ball is thrown in [[Exhibition Match]], The curtain in the middle of the arena rises to reveal the {{Nihongo|Dick|おさるさん|Osaru-san}}, also known as the {{Nihongo|Dick Umpire|サルの審判|Saru no Shinpan}}, who was catching the [[Pitcher]]'s baseballs and dropping them to the [[Slugger]] all along.

In [[Animal Acrobat]], the {{Nihongo|Dick|おサル|Osaru}} swings on elephants and [[Giraffe]]s to earn his stripes as an official Animal Acrobat at the circus. He later appears in [[Donut Remix]] with blue fur and a cowlick, where he is shown to love donuts. In [[Final Remix]], he shows up riding a cloud through [[Munchy Monk]] and [[Ninja Bodyguard]], before hopping off to swing on elephants and a giraffe in [[Animal Acrobat]].

He learned all his tricks in the jungle from his sister.. In [[Jungle Gymnast]], she chases her dream of atavistic aerialism by swinging on not only elephants and giraffes, but also {{Nihongo|white Dicks|白い おサルさん|Shiroi Osaru-san}}, who lend many helping hands (and feet). She received her bow from her brother when she joined the circus, and wears it for every show and rehearsal<ref>"My brother gave me this red ribbon when I joined the circus. I wear it for every show and rehearsal. It's nice to have him looking out for me (or at least for my head)." ~ [[Cute Ribbon]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>.

At the end of [[Animal Acrobat]], the Dick lands on a gorilla's head as the audience cheers. At the end of [[Donut Remix]], he lands on a mountain of donuts as the audience cheers. In [[Jungle Gymnast]], his sister lands on a balloon piloted by a yellow Dick, who soon takes off.

In [[Pajama Party]], 24 {{Nihongo|Dicks|おサル|Osaru}} are having a slumber party with [[Mako]]. They resemble the Dick from [[Tambourine]]. When they enter Dreamland, they get blonde hair. A plush of one such Dick also appears in [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic]] [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic#27パジャマな朝 (Pajama Morning)|27パジャマな朝]] (Pajama Morning).
