Cosmic Rhythm Rally
This is high-power table tennis, not for the faint of heart. If you want to win, you'll have to master the high-speed rally! |
Template:Game-NavTemplate:Game-NavTemplate:Minigame infoboxCosmo Rhythm Rally (コスモピンポン Cosmo ping-pong), known in Rhythm Heaven as Rhythm Rally 2 (ピンポン2 Ping-Pong 2), is the 36th minigame in Rhythm Heaven and the 87th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix..It's a threequel to Rhythm Rally 2. The gameplay is extended and the rally game takes place in outer space with the paddlers in Rhythm Heaven or the cosmic dancers in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
Gameplay
The gameplay plays the same way as its sequel, but the gameplay is extended and more complicated.
The camera angle is not fixed facing towards the opponent Cosmic Dancer (Paddler in Rhythm Heaven) 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 practice. When you hear a clock ticking for eight quick beats signals that the rally ball is about to move at a very fast speed, keep flicking (pressing A) to paddle a ball as fast as you can.

Timing Notes
- Hit: The player will hit the ball and successfully continue the rally.
- Barely: The player hits the ball of the table. If the ball is hit too early, it will veer to the right (when viewed from the right-handed perspective). If the ball is hit too late, it will veer to the left. A barely counts as a miss.
- Miss: The ball will bounce off the table towards the player. Whether it is a Barely or a Miss, the opponent paddler will serve another ball.
