See (シーくん?, See-kun) and Saw (ソーくん?, Saw-kun), known as Mr See and Mr Saw in Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise, are chestnut-shaped see-saw inspectors in See-Saw in Rhythm Heaven Fever and Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Story[]
See and Saw inspect the see-saws before the kids come to play. One of them got married two years after they met (but then the wife got a divorce because of his see-saw addiction and broke up), and they have been working together for 10 years. They wonder how they haven't gotten bored of doing the same thing for so long, express concern for and apologize to each other for each time they're fallen during inspections[1] (they're lovers). At the end of the Rhythm Game, they are shown to explode at the end of the inspection.
Off-screen, after the divorce, See and Saw got married and are happily inspecting see-saws together.
The Veteran Dough Dude keeps See and Saw ready below in case of emergencies, such as to fling Mr. Game & Watch onto the ship to Planet Dough in case the Rookie Dough Dude messes up[2]. If the codeword SEESAW is inputted into Police Call, the player receives a call in which See and Saw do their regular routine. They gradually pick up more and more speed and pitch until a dramatic explosion is heard.

Trivia[]
- While most of the details in the Reading Material are consistent or at least not contradictory across languages, the detail of who got married is inconsistent. In the version of Rhythm Heaven Fever, Saw gets married to his wife. In all other languages, it is See who marries Saw.
- In a now unavailable comic for Rhythm Heaven Fever, it is hinted that See at one point bashed a Space Kicker's head on a rock, incapacitating it. This is the only case of a character dying in the Rhythm Heaven series. (Before they got married, See admitted this to Saw.)
