— Rhythm Rally Description

Template:Game-NavTemplate:Minigame infoboxRhythm Rally (ピンポン pin pon "ping pong") is the 20th minigame that appears in Rhythm Heaven Megamix, and it's a story variant of Rhythm Rally from Rhythm Heaven. In this game, the player controls one of the Paddlers playing a table-tennis rally game together. In this variant, the Paddlers play a rally match on a flower with a ladybug.

A sequel later appears in Barbershop Tower under the title Rhythm Rally 2.

Gameplay

The paddles are playing a table-tennis rally on a big flower, and you are playing as one of them. To hit a ball, you have to press A button to paddle it to serve to your rival. There are two speeds of served balls: normal, which bounce normally, and slow, which bounce a bit high.
