While Widgets do not appear in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]],'' rods known as {{Nihongo|Akai Mono|赤いモノ|Red Objects}} do appear in the [[Rhythm Game]] [[Polyrhythm]]. They are industry products whose details are kept a trade secret. They are considered hazardous because they explode when colliding with walls<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/stage04.html キャラクターアルバム ステージ４] (Character Album Stage 4)</ref>. In the game, the rods roll along two raised paths, and the player must press the corresponding button to raise the blocks when they reach a gap. | While Widgets do not appear in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]],'' rods known as {{Nihongo|Akai Mono|赤いモノ|Red Objects}} do appear in the [[Rhythm Game]] [[Polyrhythm]].

Widgets make their first actual appearance in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' in [[Built to Scale (DS)|Built to Scale]], where they are portrayed as a white rod and nuts. The player must wait for the nuts to roll into place, then launch the rod into them to form the Widget. They later appear in [[Built to Scale 2 (DS)|Built to Scale 2]], this time colored red. Workers are instructed to follow the rhythm while producing the Widgets, but they get paid the same regardless<ref>"Slogan for March: Turns out you get paid the same whether you're on the beat or not." ~ [[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven)#Assembly Line Slogans|Assembly Line Slogans]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''</ref>. | Widgets make their first actual appearance in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' in [[Built to Scale (DS)|Built to Scale]], where they are portrayed as a white rod and nuts.

The square mass-produced objects appear again in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' in [[Built to Scale (Wii)|Built to Scale]], where the player must bounce around a rod while waiting for two nuts to come into place, after which the player must launch the rod into them to form the complete Widget.
