[[File:Screenshot 3DS Airboarder.png|thumb]]
In this game, the player controls the third of three [[Airboarder (character)|Airboarders]] airboarding through a colorful land of blocks, accompanied by the [[Barista|Dog]] to their right. The goal is to avoid the blocks in the way of the track by ducking underneath the objects blocking their heads and jumping over the objects that trip them over. The player must simply follow the actions of the other two to do so.
After clearing [[Remix 6 (DS)|Remix 6]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', the player watches the credits, where Airboarder is played automatically, after which the cast of characters is shown. It is then unlocked alongside [[Built to Scale 2 (DS)|Built to Scale 2]] as a playable game of it's own, where the cast afterwards is skippable. The player does not receive a [[Medal]] for obtaining a [[Superb]] on it, nor can they go for a [[Perfect]].

In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the game received a significant visual upgrade compared to most returning games. The airboarders became slimmer and have more rounded heads, and the 3D models and environments are much cleaner. It is also played as a regular [[Rhythm Game]], giving a [[Medal]] for obtaining a [[Superb]] and allowing a [[Perfect]] Campaign.

The player controls the third airboarder in line. The goal is to avoid blocks that are in the way of the track by ducking underneath the objects blocking their heads and the objects that will make them trip over. This is done by following the other two airboarders' rhythm and poses to better predict the timing for jumping and ducking.
