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:
The game revolves around [[Baxter & Forthington]] having a game of badminton while flying in their planes. Every time Forthington hits the birdie, the player, who controls Baxter, must hit it back on the following beat. Forthington sometimes says "Ba-bum bum bum!" before hitting a birdie, indicating the player must wait two beats before hitting it back.
*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 [[Air Rally 2|the original Air Rally]], the shuttlecock is always hit from the same distance, excluding the final hit, where Forthington catches the shuttlecock.

*'''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).
|Ace!=The player hits the birdie towards Forthington.
*'''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”.
|Early!/Late!=The player hits the birdie, but it is knocked to the side.
 
|Miss...=The birdie flies past the player. If the player misses the last one, Forthington is quite disappointed.}}

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*A [[Blue Birds (Characters)|Blue Bird]] makes a cameo in the superb rating screen.
*At the start of the game, a flock of geese can be seen flying by. Sometimes, this flock is replaced by [[Captain Blue Bird]] and five members of [[The Blue Birds]]. One member is also seen in the [[Superb]] epilogue.
*The names [[Baxter]] and [[Forthington]] are a pun on "''back and forth''", referencing how the shuttlecock is hit back and forth in the game.
*Unlike [[Air Rally 2]], the game does not have the planes distance each other as a visual distraction. Forthington only moves at the very end, to catch the birdie.
==Video==
**Despite this, the planes are shown at a distance in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix Demo]]'''s preview of the full game. In it, [[Air Rally]]'s appearance matches the patterns for [[Air Rally 2]] in [[Final Remix]], but the visuals match the short version instead.
