Spaceball (エアーバッター?, Air Batter) is the 4th minigame in Rhythm Tengoku and the 28th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, the Air Batter hits baseballs that come out from a flowerpot in a small, green room in space. The camera will zoom in and out, sometimes very far, during gameplay. It's arrange variant, Air Batter 2, is unlocked later on in Rhythm Tengoku.

Gameplay

This game has an odd design. The screen will often zoom out, making this scene difficult to see. The game takes place inside a small green room in the middle of space with the Space Umpire. As the music plays, a brown flowerpot will throw out baseballs, which the Air Batter must hit by pressing A. The flower pot will occasionally throw high balls which require the player to wait an extra beat before pressing A. Occasionally, the screen will zoom out, requiring the player to track the balls using the music alone.
