Trivia

• The large sphere with a smiley face from Rhythm Rally 2 in Rhythm Heaven makes a cameo during the zoom-out segment.
  • Despite the sphere being redesigned to resemble the Cosmo Dancers in Cosmic Rhythm Rally in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, this change was not reflected in Flock Step.
• The Huebirds of Happiness later appear in Night Walk in Rhythm Heaven Fever, flying by in a huge flock partway through.
