Air Rally 2

Air Rally 2 (かえってきた バドミントン), knows in Rhythm Heaven Fever as Air Rally (バドミントン), is the 13th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 35th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It features Baxter and Forthington playing badminton in the sky. It's the sequel to Air Rally in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Gameplay


The Gameplay is the exact same as the prequel, but the tempo is now much faster. The game takes place much higher in the sky.

In addition to the increased tempo and altered aesthetics, the game will attempt to visually mislead the player by having the two planes distance from each other. The beat remains the same, however, so don't be fooled!

Skill Star
After you pass the boat in the background and the rhythm changes, hit the shuttlecock at the right moment the second time to collect the star.

Trivia

 * The name's Baxter and Forthington are a pun on "back and forth", referencing how the birdie is hit back and forth in the game.
 * Sometimes in the background, the player can see the Blue Birds and their captain from Rhythm Heaven flying through the sky, replacing the normal birds. One can also be seen in the Superb epilogue screen.
 * If you miss the last shot of the game, Forthington says, "Come on! You can't miss the last shot! How lame is that! Anyway, good game!"
 * There is no practice for this game in Megamix, but there is a new one that changes distance between Forthington's place to far away while Baxter's place on his right side, making it difficult to hit the shuttlecock at the same time. This is one of a few times that a new cue wasn’t given or mentioned in a practice; the others including Night Walk 2, Bon Dance, Karate Man 2 (GBA), Marching Orders 2, Sneaky Spirits 2, the GBA sequel, Karate Man, The Dazzles 2, & Glee Club 2 (DS).
 * The second "Bu-bum bum bum!" was changed in Megamix.
 * A Threefish from Catch of the Day is in the sprite sheet for this game, but it went completely unused.
