The arrange version, Air Batter 2, appears in Last Technician in Rhythm Tengoku.

Gameplay
In this game, the Air Batter hits baseballs that come out from a flowerpot in a small, green box in space. Ocassionally, the balls are shot higher up, requiring the player to wait an extra beat before hitting it. The Space Umpire sits in a UFO on the windowsill in the middle of the box. The camera zooms in and out, sometimes very far, during gameplay.

In the middle of the game, while the Air Batter is hidden offscreen by the zoom, he appears to change into a pink/purple costume with a bunny mask. After this, the screen zooms way out, with him changing into a yellow/blue costume and a red spherical head mask which comically emotes as he swings. At the very end, a rice ball is shot out instead.

Skill Star
The Skill Star appears on a high ball in the midpoint of the game.

Trivia

 * Although the game lacks a conventional Practice, the real game doesn't actually start until the player hits a few balls correctly. The game was given a tutorial in the arcade version in addition to this, and a Practice replacing it in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
 * The epilogues depict yellow aliens on a brown rocky planet, which aren't seen during gameplay. A similar looking cyan alien appears in First Contact in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
