{{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]]''.
{{Nihongo|'''Rhythm Rally 2'''|かえってきた ピンポン|Kaettekita Pin Pon}}, known in [[Rhythm Heaven]] as {{Nihongo|'''Rhythm Rally'''|ピンポン|Ping-Pong}}, not to be confused with it's [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally|sequel]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', is the 6th minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and the 54th minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. It features two [[Paddler]]s playing a table tennis rally game together. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', instead of a featureless white plain, the background is a big strawberry cake and it acts as a sequel to [[Rhythm Rally]].
The short version, [[Rhythm Rally]], appears in [[Barbershop Land]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
The arrange version, [[Cosmic Rhythm Rally]], appears in the eighth stage of ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and [[Tibby's Mom]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
The game starts after the whistle. You are a paddler with a box-head who is playing a table tennis match with his rival. Your rival will serve a ball to you, but in order to hit that ball, hold your Stylus to prepare your paddle and flick it to hit it to your rival. There are three speeds of served balls: The normal ball which goes normally as it bounces smoothly, the slow one goes a little slower as it bounces higher, and the fast one before each fast one. There is a cowbell sound before it to warn you that it's coming at you in fast speed, so flick it as soon as possible. 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.
