Air Rally |
Keep the rally going in this badminton game! Try not to let the birdie go out of bounds... |
Rhythm Heaven Megamix |
Air Rally (バドミントン?, Badminton) is the 3rd minigame that appears in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It is the short variation of Air Rally from Rhythm Heaven Fever. In this game, Baxter and Forthington fly above a desert with a slow-paced song playing in the background.
The normal variant later appears in Honeybee Tower under the name Air Rally 2.
Gameplay
The player controls Baxter, a dog in a red airplane, playing badminton with Forthington, a cat in a blue airplane. Every time Forthington hits the shuttlecock, the player must press A at the right time to hit it back. Sometimes, the rhythm will change. Forthington cues indicate the rhythm:
- Normal rhythm: Hyah, hyah, hyah, hyah.../Nya, nya, nya, nya... (A standard slow rhythm of twos.)
- Slow rhythm: Bu-bum bum bum! (A slower rhythm of fours.)
- Back to normal: Two, three, FOUR!/Two, three, go! (The rhythm reverts to its normal speed.)
Unlike the original Air Rally, the shuttlecock is always hit from the same distance, excluding the final hit, where Forthington catches the shuttlecock.
Controls
- Ⓐ/Tap: Swing racket
Timing Notes
- Perfect!/Ace!: The player hits the shuttlecock back at Forthington.
- Early!/Late!: The player hits the shuttlecock, but it is knocked to the side, and Forthington serves another one (except on the last beat).
- Miss...: The shuttlecock flies past the player, and Forthington serves another one (except on the last beat). If the player misses on the last beat, Forthington’s ending dialogue will be disappointed, stating that “you can’t just miss the last one”.
