{{Nihongo|Cosmic Rhythm Rally|コスモピンポン|Cosmo Ping-Pong}}, known in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' as {{Nihongo|Rhythm Rally 2|ピンポン２|Ping-Pong 2}}, is the 1st [[Rhythm Game]] of the eight stage (36th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and the 2nd of [[Tibby's Mom]] (87th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
|song = }}
{{Nihongo|'''Cosmic Rhythm Rally'''|コスモピンポン|Cosmo Ping-Pong}}, known in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' as {{Nihongo|'''Rhythm Rally 2'''|ピンポン2|Ping-Pong 2}}, is the 36th minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and the 87th minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. It is the sequel to [[Rhythm Rally 2]]. The song is extended, the ping-pong game takes place in outer space, and, in ''Rhythm Heaven Megamix'', the [[Paddler|Paddlers]] are replaced with [[Cosmic Dancers]].
The short version, [[Rhythm Rally]], appears in [[Barbershop Land]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
The long version, [[Rhythm Rally 2]], appears in the second stage of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and [[Barbershop Tower]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
The gameplay lasts longer and is more fast paced in comparison with ''Rhythm Heaven''<nowiki/>'s Rhythm Rally or ''Rhythm Heaven Megamix''<nowiki/>'s Rhythm Rally 2.
Gameplay lasts much longer and is more fast paced than before. The camera is not always facing the opponent; it moves constantly around, to force the player to rely more on the rhythm of the ball's bounces. There is also a new move called the high-speed rally, which is cued by eight cowbell sounds, each of them half a beat apart. It is a faster variant of the regular rally and lasts for two measures. There is also a planet that sometimes blocks the view. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the [[Paddler]]s are redesigned to resemble the [[Cosmo Dancers]].
The camera is not always facing the opponent, unlike in the first two Rhythm Rally games; it moves constantly and blocks their view, with the objective of causing them to rely more on the rhythm of the ball's bounces.
There is also a new move called the high-speed rally, which is cued by eight cowbell sounds, each of them half a beat apart. It is a faster variant of the regular rally and lasts for two measures.
