Air Rally 2

Air Rally 2 (かえってきた バドミントン), known in Rhythm Heaven Fever as Air Rally (バドミントン), is the 3rd Rhythm Game of Stage 3 (13th overall) in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 3rd of Honeybee Tower (35th overall) in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

The short version, Air Rally, appears in Honeybee Land in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Gameplay
The game revolves around Baxter & Forthington having a game of badminton while flying in their planes. Every time Forthington hits the birdie, the player, who controls Baxter, must hit it back on the following beat. Forthington sometimes says "Ba-bum bum bum!" before hitting a birdie, indicating the player must wait two beats before hitting it back. He counts out loud, "Two, three, four!" to indicate a return to the normal beat pattern.

The game tries to visually mislead the player by having the two planes distance from each other. The beat remains the same, however, at any distance. In the middle of the game, the sun sets, leaving the two players in silhouette. At night time, the clouds start to obscure the player's vision as well.

Skill Star
The Skill Star appears on the two slow rallies just before the background changes to night in the middle of the game.

Challenge Land

Trivia

 * At the start of the game, a flock of geese can be seen flying by. Sometimes, this flock is replaced by Captain Blue Bird and five members of The Blue Birds. One member is also seen in the Superb epilogue.
 * Presumably due to hardware limitations, the amount of clouds was reduced in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, reducing their effectiveness as a visual distraction.
