The squadmates belong to the special unit called the "Marcher". 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 [[Space-Rabbit]]s 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>. | The squadmates belong to the special unit called the "Marcher".

*The relationship between the Sarge and the Squadmates is similar to that of [[The Blue Birds]] and [[Captain Blue Bird]] from [[Blue Birds]] and [[Captain Tuck and the Flippers]] from [[Flipper-Flop 2|Flipper-Flop]]. 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. | *The relationship between the Sarge and the Squadmates is similar to that of [[The Blue Birds]] and [[Captain Blue Bird]] from [[Blue Birds]] and [[Captain Tuck and the Flippers]] from [[Flipper-Flop 2|Flipper-Flop]].

The rotated head sprites for the turns and all the sprites in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' are a single sprite, however. | ||
*Although the squadmates are clearly female in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', their voices, and their sprites in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', imply they were intended to be male.

**In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', however, they are shown to have long hair.
