*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.

*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.

**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.

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.
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!
