{{Nihongo|Rhythm Rally 2|かえってきた ピンポン|Kaettekita Ping-Pong}}, known in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' as {{Nihongo|Rhythm Rally|ピンポン|Ping-Pong}}, is the 1st [[Rhythm Game]] of the second stage (6th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and the 2nd of [[Barbershop Tower]] (54th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
'''Rhythm Rally 2''' (帰ってきた ピンポン Kaettekita pin pon "Return of ping pong") is the 54th minigame and it's a sequel to [[Rhythm Rally (Megamix)|Rhythm Rally]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. It is identical to [[Rhythm Rally]] from ''[[Rhythm Heaven]].'' It looks like the table-tennis rally returns and becomes so popular that the [[Paddler]]s decided to play it on a big strawberry cake this time. Remember to return the ball to the beat!
The short version, [[Rhythm Rally]], appears in [[Barbershop Land]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
A triquel later appears in Tibby's Mom under the title [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally]].
The arrange version, [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally]], appears in the eighth stage of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and [[Tibby's Mom]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
It plays the same way like its prequel as you're controlling one of the paddlers that are enjoying a table-tennis rally game and the background is now a big cake with strawberries on it. Your rival will serve a ball to you, but to do so, you have to press A button to paddle it to serve to him. Normal and slow speeds are included in this sequel, but there is a new one added and it's a fast one. When you head a cow bell sound, it warns you that the ball is s coming in which it will come to you at fast speed and bounces really lower. Paddle it as faster as you can! Each cue goes at the same speed, but there are different intervals and mixes of them.

The game takes place in a featureless white plain in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', and a giant cake in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. The player takes control of a [[Paddler]], who is playing a table tennis match with their rival. The rival serves a ball, and the player must hit it back. There are three speeds of served balls: The normal ball, which bounces on every beat; the slow one, which bounces higher on every two beats; and the fast one, which is preceeded by a cowbell noise, after which the ball is bounces on each half beat before it's hit back.
