{{Nihongo|Air Rally|バドミントン|Badminton}} is the 3rd [[Rhythm Game]] of [[Honeybee Land]] (3rd overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]].''

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
The player controls Baxter the dog in the red airplane. Forthington starts off by serving the shuttlecock at Baxter. The player must keep hitting it back in constant beats of two. Also, Forthington might signal the rhythm to change to a slow beat of four. Then later on return to the normal two beat after counting.
[[File:Screenshot 3DS Air Rally.png|thumb]]
*Normal rhythm: Hyah, hyah, hyah, hyah... (Nya, nya, nya, nya...) A standard 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.
*Altered: Bu-bum bum bum! (Lob shot) A slowed down beat of fours.
*Back to normal: Two, Three, FOUR! (Two, Three, Go!) The rhythm reverts to normal again. Only said after a lob shot is done.
In addition to the altering of the rhythm, the game will attempt to visually mislead the player by having the two planes distance from each other, causing the shuttlecock to be hit harder and travel faster. However, the beat remains the same.

==Trivia==
*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.

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!
