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 Rhythm Game of Honeybee Land (3rd overall) in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
The long version, Air Rally 2, appears in the 3rd stage in Rhythm Heaven Fever and Honeybee Tower in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
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”.

Solid rallying. The slow ones didn't trip you up. |

Ever since Forthington started using this racket, I haven't been able to keep up with him! I can't believe how much better he's gotten--I must practice...and maybe buy a new racket! |
