The gameplay is the same as before, but it's longer and more complicated. The camera angle is not fixed facing towards the opponent Cosmic Dancer (Paddler in Rhythm Heaven) the whole game like before. The angle adjusts constantly and moves in front of moving obstacles that will block the player's view. There's a new move, called the high-speed rally, which is when you hear 8 cowbell noises, you have to hit he ball quickly 4 times in a row.
