Rhythm Rally 2

Rhythm Rally 2 (かえってきた ピンポン), known in Rhythm Heaven as Rhythm Rally (ピンポン), not to be confused with its sequel in Rhythm Heaven, is the 6th minigame in Rhythm Heaven and the 54th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It features two Paddlers playing a table tennis rally game together. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, instead of a featureless white plain, the background is a big strawberry cake and it acts as the long version of Rhythm Rally.

Gameplay
The game starts after a whistle. You are a Paddler who is playing a table tennis match with their rival. Your rival will serve a ball to you, & you need to hit it back. There are three speeds of served balls: The normal ball, which goes normally as it bounces smoothly; the slow one, goes a little slower as it bounces higher; and the fast one. Before each fast one, there is a cowbell sound before it to warn you that it's coming at you in fast speed, so hit it as soon as possible. Each cue goes at the same basic speed, but there are different intervals and mixes of them.

Timing Display

 * Perfect!/Ace!: The player will successfully continue the rally.
 * Early!/Late!: The player hits the ball off the table to the right (if early) or to the left (if late), and a "doink" sound is heard.
 * Miss...: The ball falls into the player's side. The coach will bring out another ball.

Skill Star
The Skill Star appears after the four slow rallies followed up by a fast one at the middle of the game.

Trivia

 * This is one of the few games to use 3D models in the Rhythm Heaven Series.
 * Both this minigame and Rhythm Rally have the same superb message "Nothing beats a good rally!"
 * The Japanese version title is different, as it shows the character rather than the silhouette and uses the letters to show a bouncing ball.
 * This is also the same for the sequel.
 * The Korean version's title is the same as international version, but with no borders.
 * There is an alternate version of the title card featuring a muscular Paddler that is never used. This image is the same in all versions.
 * The Paddlers are based of the Space Dancers from Space Dance.
