The game revolves around [[Baxter & Forthington]] having a game of badminton while flying in their planes. Every time Forthington hits the birdie, the player, who controls Baxter, must hit it back on the following beat. Forthington sometimes says "Ba-bum bum bum!" before hitting a birdie, indicating the player must wait two beats before hitting it back.

Forthington sometimes says "Ba-bum bum bum!" before hitting a birdie, indicating the player must wait two beats before hitting it back. He counts out loud, "Two, three, four!" to indicate a return to the normal beat pattern.
The game tries to visually mislead the player by having the two planes distance from each other. The beat remains the same, however, at any distance. In the middle of the game, the sun sets, leaving the two players in silhouette. At night time, the clouds start to obscure the player's vision as well.

*While ''[[Rhythm World Wii]]'' otherwise uses the English dub for this game, the "2", "3" and "4" voice clips have their volume altered, creating a fade in with every count. The "1" voice clip was not changed however, making the first count in the game sound rather awkward. The modified English dub in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' is used with no further changes in ''[[Rhythm World: The Best+]]'', effectively reversing this change.
==Development History==
*Some of the voice clips for this game in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]'' are mistakenly changed from the original, and two English voice clips are also mistakenly used. All of these mistakes are fixed when playing with Japanese voices in all other versions of ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
{{Main|Air Rally 2/Development}}
**The English voice clip for "Ba-bum bum bum!" while [[Forthington]] is at the second closest position was completely redone for ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.

Air Rally
Keep the rally going in this badminton game! Try not to let the birdie go out of bounds, though...
The game revolves around Baxter & Forthington having a game of badminton while flying in their planes. Every time Forthington hits the birdie, the player, who controls Baxter, must hit it back on the following beat. Forthington sometimes says "Ba-bum bum bum!" before hitting a birdie, indicating the player must wait two beats before hitting it back. He counts out loud, "Two, three, four!" to indicate a return to the normal beat pattern.
The game tries to visually mislead the player by having the two planes distance from each other. The beat remains the same, however, at any distance. In the middle of the game, the sun sets, leaving the two players in silhouette. At night time, the clouds start to obscure the player's vision as well.
Perfect!/Ace!?: The player hits the birdie towards Forthington.
Early!/Late!?: The player hits the birdie, but it is knocked to the side.
Miss...?: The birdie flies past the player. If the player misses the last one, Forthington will be quite disappointed, yelling "Come on! You can't miss the last one! How lame is that?!"

You missed a lot of returns. The changes really threw you. The fast ones zipped past you.
That couldn't even be called a rally. You didn't hit the rhythm changes. You let the fast ones get past you!
Eh. Good enough.
Good try.
You kept that rally going! You matched the changes well. You handled the fast shots well.
That was a great rally! You coped well with rhythm changes. You took the fast shots in your swing.

You missed a lot of returns. The changes really threw you. The long shots zipped past you.
Eh. Passable.
You kept that rally going! You matched the changes well. You handled the long shots well.
Ever since Baxter started using this racket, I haven't been able to keep up with him! I can't believe how much better he's gotten--I must practice...and maybe buy a new racket!
At the start of the game, a flock of geese can be seen flying by. Sometimes, this flock is replaced by Captain Blue Bird and five members of The Blue Birds. One member is also seen in the Superb epilogue.
Presumably due to hardware limitations, the amount of clouds was reduced in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, reducing their effectiveness as a visual distraction.
