— Cosmic Rhythm Rally Desc

Template:Game-NavTemplate:Minigame infoboxCosmo Rhythm Raly is a sequel to Rhythm Rally Returns and it's identical to Rhythm Rally's sequel Rhythm Rally 2 from Rhythm Heaven. In this game, instead of the Paddlers, you're playing one of Cosmo Dancers and the table-tennis rally game takes place in outer space..

Gameplay

File:Cosmo Rally gameplay.PNG

The gameplay plays the same way as its prequel, but the gameplay is extended longer and it's more complicated.

The camera angle is not fixed facing towards the opponent Cosmo Dancer the whole game like in Rhythm Rally 2. The angle adjusts constantly and moves in front of moving obstacles that will block the player's view, so this way it allows more of a challenge. There is a new tactic introduced in the tutorial. A clock ticking for eight quick beats signals that the rally ball is about to move at a very fast speed.

Trivia

• This is one of the sequels where you play different characters. Instead of the Paddlers, you have Cosmo Dancers playing a ping pong rally.

• Both this minigame and Rhythm Rally (Story) have the same superb message "Nothing beats a good rally!"

• Despite new characters filling in, this is technically the third version of Rhythm Rally to be featured. It shares this distinction only with Figure Fighter and Clappy Trio. While the characters originated from the GBA game, Rhythm Rally 2 is a DS game, and as such, it represents the DS selection, complimenting Figure Fighter being from the Wii selection, and Clappy Trio from the GBA selection.
