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. The assembly line has a variety of slogans for every month which instruct the workers to follow the rhythm while producing the widgets, but some workers have later found that even following the beat can lead to production suffering, and realizing that following it doesn't matter much as they get paid the same regardless<ref>[[Assembly Line Slogans]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''</ref>.{{clear}} | 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 the nuts to form the complete widget.

Depending on how well the player performs, they either end up with not their best work and begin questioning how important the widgets are, earning themselves a little break, or finishing up early, on the verge of breaking productivity records<ref>"On va battre des records de productivité !" (We're going to break productivity records!) ~ Description for ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]'' (French)</ref>. While these rods are never referred to as anything in English, comments left in the internal data refer to them as {{Nihongo|Akai Mono|赤いもの|Red Objects}}<ref name="insidejob">"赤いもの" (Akai Mono) ~ comment left in the file "rcad_assembly_parts_labels.h", ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''</ref> like the rods in [[Polyrhythm]]. Like before, this assembly line has a new slogan for each month, each one encouraging the workers to keep in time and generally be productive. A keyword in each slogan is highlighted in red<ref>[[Assembly-Line Slogans]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''</ref>, with one worker at the factory giving the police a tip: "It's July through November", and sending them a document with the slogans<ref>[[Investigation Notes]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''</ref>. Entering these keywords in [[Police Call]] provides the police with a tip about a code word being hidden in one of the [[Endless Games]]. The company sometimes makes defective products, and a worker in product testing accidentally sold the bad parts to collectors for a lot of money<ref>"I work in product testing. My company doesn't make a lot of defective products, but when we do, I'm NOT supposed to sell the bad parts to collectors for a lot of money. Oops." ~ [[Defective Widget]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. | ||
