Airboarder

Airboarder (エアボーダー) is the Credits game in Rhythm Heaven and the 15th Rhythm Game in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, the player controls an Airboarder airboarding through a colorful land of blocks with two other airboarders and the Dog.

After clearing Remix 6 in Rhythm Heaven, the player watches the credits, where Airboarder is played automatically, after which the cast of characters is shown. It is then unlocked alongside Built to Scale 2 as a playable game of it's own, where the cast afterwards is skippable. The player does not receive a Medal for obtaining a Superb on it, nor can they go for a Perfect.

In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, the game received a significant visual upgrade compared to most returning games. The airboarders became slimmer and have more rounded heads, and the 3D models and environments are much cleaner. It is also played as a regular Rhythm Game, giving a Medal for obtaining a Superb and allowing a Perfect Campaign.

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.
