|Number = 87}}'''Cosmo Rally''' is a sequel to [[Rhythm Rally (3DS)|Rhythm Rally]] and it's identical to [[Rhythm Rally]]'s sequel [[Rhythm Rally 2]] from [[Rhythm Heaven]]. In this game, instead of the [[Paddler]]s, you're playing one of [[Cosmo Dancers]]. The gameplay is extended longer and the rally game takes place in outer space.
{{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]]''.
==Practice Mode==
The short version, [[Rhythm Rally]], appears in [[Barbershop Land]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
A new tactic is introduced in practice mode. A clock ticking for eight quick beats signals that the rally ball is about to move at a very fast speed.
The long version, [[Rhythm Rally 2]], appears in the second stage of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and [[Barbershop Tower]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.

[[File:Cosmo_Rally_gameplay.PNG|thumb|206px]]
[[File:Screenshot DS Rhythm Rally 2.png|thumb]]
The camera angle is not fixed facing towards the opponent Cosmo Dancer the whole game like in Rhythm Rally. The angle adjusts constantly and moves in front of moving obstacles that will block the player's view, so this way it allows more of a challenge.
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]].

Rhythm Rally 2
This is high-power table tennis, not for the faint of heart. If you want to win, you'll have to master the high-speed rally!
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 Paddlers are redesigned to resemble the Cosmo Dancers.
Perfect!/Ace!?: The player hits the ball, and the rally continues.
Early!/Late!?: The player hits the ball in such a way that it bounces off the table to the side (right if early, left if late), making a "doink" sound. The rival serves a new ball afterwards.
Miss...?: The player never hits the ball. The rival serves a new ball.
