*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 [[Blue Bird Diary]] and [[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]].

*In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' and [[Marcher Tempo Up!|Marcher]] [[File:TempoUpExtra3.png|72px]], the sprite of the squadmate's head when facing forward is separated into the helmet and the head. The head in the former has red hair identical to what is seen in [[Staff]], while the latter has nondescript orange hair. The rotated head sprites for the turns and all the sprites in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' are a single sprite, however. | *In ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' and [[Marcher Tempo Up!|Marcher]] [[File:TempoUpExtra3.png|72px]], the sprite of the squadmate's head when facing forward is separated into the helmet and the head.

**In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', however, they are shown to have long hair. The reason for this change is unknown, although a piece of ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' fanart published in 2008 by Ryo Hirao features interpretations of the Squadmates with similar hairstyles<ref>[https://www.pixiv.net/artworks/866954 Rhythm Tengoku / リズム天国キャラクターズ / May 25th, 2008 - pixiv]</ref>.
