Airboarder

Airboarder is the credits game in Rhythm Heaven. It is unlocked after beating Remix 6.

Rhythm Heaven
This rhythm game, after beating it, contains the credits and the staff. This game also marks the half-way point before all sequels. The ending theme song, "That's Paradise," plays during this game.

Gameplay
The player controls the third airboarder in line. The goal is to avoid blocks that are in the way of the track by ducking underneath the objects blocking their heads and the objects that will make them trip over. This is done by following the other two airboarders' rhythm and poses to better predict the timing for jumping and ducking.

Controls

 * Tap: Duck
 * Flick: Jump

Hit or Miss

 * Hit: You duck and jump over the blocks.
 * Barely: When you duck under or jump over the blocks, it slightly wobbles, showing that you may have grazed it. Your airboarder also says "Watch it!"
 * Miss: You hit the blocks.

Rating Notes

 * Try Again: "You call that airboarding?"
 * OK: "We did our best, and we did it with style!"
 * Superb: "Now that's pro style!"
