{{Nihongo|Air Rally 2|かえってきた バドミントン|Kaettekita Badminton}}, known in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' as {{Nihongo|Air Rally|バドミントン|Badminton}}, is the 3rd [[Rhythm Game]] of Stage 3 (13th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and the 3rd of [[Honeybee Tower]] (35th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.


The short version, [[Air Rally]], appears in [[Honeybee Land]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.

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. He counts out loud, "Two, three, four!" to indicate a return to the normal beat pattern.


The gameplay is similar to the prequel, but the tempo is much faster. Every time Forthington hits the shuttlecock, the player must press A on the following beat to hit it back. When Forthington says “Ba-bum bum bum!”, before hitting a shuttlecock, the player must hit it back two beats later.
The game tries to visually mislead the player by having the two planes distance from each other. The beat remains the same, however, at any distance. In the middle of the game, the sun sets, leaving the two players in silhouette. At night time, the clouds start to obscure the player's vision as well.
 
In addition to the increased tempo and altered aesthetics, the game will attempt to visually mislead the player by having the two planes distance from each other. The beat remains the same, however, at any distance. The lighting will also change overtime, making the characters appear silhouetted.

== Trivia ==
*Sometimes the [[Blue Birds]] and their captain from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' fly through the sky in the background, replacing the normal birds. A Blue Bird can also be seen in the Superb epilogue screen.
*At the end of the game, Forthington says “Good job!” (“You deserve a treat!” in ''Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise''). If you miss the last shot of the game, Forthington instead says, "Come on! You can't miss the last shot! How lame is that? Anyway, good game!"
*There is no practice for this game in ''Megamix'', despite the presence of a new feature: Forthington moving further away from Baxter. This is one of a few times that a new feature wasn’t given or mentioned in a practice; the others being [[Night Walk 2]], [[Bon Dance]], [[Karate Man 2 (GBA)]], [[Marcher 2]], [[Sneaky Spirits 2]], [[Shiroi Obake 2|the GBA sequel]], [[Karate Man]], [[The Dazzles 2]], & [[Glee Club 2 (DS)]].
*This is one of the few games in the franchise to require player input after the music finishes. Other games like this are [[Remix 4 (GBA)]], [[Remix 5 (GBA)]], [[Air Batter 2]], [[Lockstep]], [[Fan Club 2]], [[Lockstep 2]], and [[Flock Step]].
*The second "Ba-bum bum bum!" was changed in ''Megamix''.
*A [[Threefish]] from [[Catch of the Day]] appears in the sprite sheet for this game, but it went completely unused.
*The amount of clouds in the game was reduced in ''Megamix''.

*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.

*Presumably due to hardware limitations, the amount of clouds was reduced in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', reducing their effectiveness as a visual distraction.
