{{Nihongo|'''Rockers 2'''|ロッカー2|Rokkā 2}} is the 49th minigame of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''. It is the sequel to [[Rockers]].
Rockers 2 newly features the use of the R or L Trigger (R being used if the player is playing right-handed, and the L being vice versa) on the [[Nintendo DS]] to "bend" notes, similar to that of a [[wikipedia:Vibrato systems for guitar|whammy bar]].

[[File:Screenshot DS Rockers 2.png|thumb]]
The gameplay is merely slightly more complex than the original as you have to use the new cue added in this gameplay. Press R or L Trigger (R being used if the player is playing right-handed, and L being used if the player is playing left-handed or vice versa) on your DS console to "bend" notes during the high note routine while flicking strum guitar and tap it to tune its strings after finishing "bending."
The gameplay is similar to before, though it utilizes more complicated patterns and adds pitch bending as a mechanic. This game notably features the use of the trigger buttons ({{button|DS|R}} being used in Righty mode, and {{button|DS|L}} for Lefty mode) on the [[niwanetwork:Nintendo DS|Nintendo DS]] to bend notes, similar to that of a [[wikipedia:Vibrato systems for guitar|whammy bar]].
|just=The player strums correctly, causing white bolts to appear.
*Hit: White bolts will appear around the student Rocker.
|miss=The player strums slightly off tune, causing blue tears to appear.
*Barely: Blue tears will appear around the student Rocker and the strum will be slightly off tune. '''A barely counts as a miss.'''
|through=If the player strums at the wrong time, the strum is very off tune, causing yellow vines to appear. Regardless if the player strums at the wrong time or doesn't strum when they should, J.J. Rocker stumbles over.}}
*Miss: Yellow vines will appear around the student Rocker and the strum will be very off tune. J.J. Rocker will stumble over.

==Trivia==
*J.J. Rocker double taps the guitar after each strum during the first few verses of the song, but it is '''not''' required to copy from it.
*This game is the only [[Rhythm Game]] to feature the use of button controls in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''. It is also the only game to use a shoulder button as a mandatory input in the entire ''[[Rhythm Heaven (series)|Rhythm Heaven]]'' series.
The four songs in the Technical Course of the [[Guitar Lessons]] use the note bending from this game.
**The songs in the [[Guitar Lessons]] ★Technical Course★, and subsequently the [[Battle of the Bands]] ★Technical Course★, use the note bending from this game.
*Rockers 2 is the only rhythm game to feature a control method aside from tapping and flicking as well as the only game using a button in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''. It is also the only game to use the L and R buttons in the entire [[Rhythm Heaven franchise]].
*This is one of the four arrange versions in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' to have a new cue and [[Practice]] section, the other being [[Fan Club 2]], [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally|Rhythm Rally 2]], and [[Fillbots 2 (DS)|Fillbots 2]].
*This is one of the four sequels in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' to have a new cue and practice section, the other being [[Fan Club 2]], [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally|Rhythm Rally 2]], and [[Fillbots 2 (DS)|Fillbots 2]].
*Like in [[Rockers]], tapping on the screen causes the guitar to produce a sound as the player strikes a pose, preparing to strum. Although [[J.J. Rocker]] does these poses himself, sometimes doing it twice in rhythm, the player is not required to copy them to get a Superb or [[Perfect Campaign|Perfect]].
*There is an unused sprite that was supposed to be used for the Superb screen.
**Sliding the stylus around while posing causes the guitar to produce a muffled noise. This does not affect gameplay in any way. Performing the note bends causes a subtle noise to be heard as the student's hands slide across the strings.

***Attempting to bend the notes while not strumming still causes the student's hands to move, though this does not produce noise. If the student is posing, this animation also causes them to stand up, though this does not prevent the player from strumming.

Perfect!/Ace!?: The player strums correctly, causing white bolts to appear.
Early!/Late!?: The player strums slightly off tune, causing blue tears to appear.
Miss...?: If the player strums at the wrong time, the strum is very off tune, causing yellow vines to appear. Regardless if the player strums at the wrong time or doesn't strum when they should, J.J. Rocker stumbles over.
