Air Rally 2

"Keep the rally going in this badminton game! Try not to let the birdie go out of bounds, though..."

- Air Rally Description (Rhythm Heaven Fever)

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!

Trivia

 * The American names of the characters, Baxter and Forthington, is a pun to "back and forth".
 * 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! That's just lame! 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 shuttlecock at the same time.
 * The second "Bu-bum bum bum!" was changed in Megamix.
 * Some of the clouds that block your view from the evening and the night section in the original game of Rhythm Heaven Fever are missing in Megamix.
 * uh best game ok
