Jam with the Band (Franchise)

The Jam with the Band series, also known as Daigasso! Band Brothers in Japan, is a series of music games with a focus on performing and creating songs. The first game in the series was made for the Nintendo DS only released in Japan, although it was planned to release internationally under the name Jam with the Band. Although the first entry in the series released for the DS, the game had been in development on both the Game Boy Advance and the Game Boy Color, although those original versions were never finished primarily due to the limitations of those systems. 
Characters from this series would go on to appear as cameos in the Super Smash Bros. series and Super Mario Maker, as well as a Japan-exclusive set of badges in the Nintendo Badge Arcade.
