  • Nintendo staff reply a heartwarming letter to a blind fan 'Hibiki'.
  • A Superb run in "Love Lizards" shows an end card where the lizards are proud parents to four baby lizards.
  • "Glass Tappers", in which a quartet of bartenders attempt to cheer a depressed woman up with their glass tapping. As long as the player keeps playing well, the woman's spirits will definitely be lifted.
  • The song lyrics tend to be on this side of the scale when they're not complete Tear Jerkers, particularly "That's Paradise" from Heaven and "Tonight" from Fever.
  • Most of the Reading Material from Fever is either this or humorous. Highlights on the heartwarming side include:
    • "Partners" - See and Saw of See-Saw reminisce about how long they've been working together (10 years!), apologize for their own mishaps and worry about each other's.
    • "My Feelings" - The protagonist of Double Date talks about learning to play guitar to impress his crush. He even wrote a song for her and has had trouble gathering the courage to play it for her... until the first soccer ball shows up and he kicks it.
    • "Picky Eaters' Song" - The Wandering Samurai of Samurai Slice remembers his mother.
    • "Expedition Journal" - The seal's trust in his captain despite the apparent nonsense of his orders is just touching.
    • "Final Words" - Some encouraging words involving a metaphor about fighting an evil wrestler army. Equal parts "Awww..." and "...what?"
  • Blue Bear in Megamix has an uncharacteristically serious and depressing premise about a sad bear named Bearbert binge-eating. The scenes that Fade In the background show the reasons why: he and his girl Bearbara had a tragic break-up. So then what's this entry doing on this page, then? That becomes apparent at the very end, which reveals that it was All Just a Dream, and he's still together with his girlfriend.
    • The Left-Hand remix also begins and ends with Blue Bear, only this time, Bearbara is the one having the dream and is crying in her sleep, showing just how much she loves Bearbert and how she would never wish to see him so sad like that.
  • The Superb quote for the Final Remix in Megamix has this with a bit of Leaning on the Fourth Wall: "We're so proud of everything you've accomplished!"
    • The Final Remix itself. About halfway through, it begins to play the title themes of all four games in the series, accompanied by corresponding minigames from each respective entry. Not only does this serve as one final trip down memory lane for the series, but it also acts as an enormous send off/celebration of Rhythm Heaven and a thank you to the fans for their support and dedication.
  • When fans gave back by doing Rhythm Heaven Reanimated, Ko Takeuchi commented on the video himself. What did he say? "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
    • Additionally Tsunku, the creator of the franchise, made a tweet of the said video, saying that the video was cool.
  • A minor example in the Rhythm Toy "Police Call" in Fever. One of the Easter Egg calls has a monkey attempting to play "Tambourine" with a Huebird, but it keeps ending with its own "Tweet, twe-twe-tweet, tweet, squawk!" call from its home game, which messes up the turn. The monkey eventually changes up one of the tambourine patterns to end with the squawk call so that the Huebird can correctly follow.
