Rhythm Rally 2

Even better than table tennis is table tennis on a huge cake. This is an undeniable truth.

— Rhythm Rally 2 Description

Rhythm Rally 2 (帰ってきた ピンポン Kaettekita pin pon "Return of ping pong") is the 54th minigame and it's a sequel to Rhythm Rally in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It is identical to Rhythm Rally from Rhythm Heaven. It looks like the table-tennis rally returns and becomes so popular that the Paddlers decided to play it on a big strawberry cake this time. Remember to return the ball to the beat!

A triquel later appears in Tibby's Mom under the title Cosmic Rhythm Rally.

Gameplay

It plays the same way like its prequel as you're controlling one of the paddlers that are enjoying a table-tennis rally game and the background is now a big cake with strawberries on it. Your rival will serve a ball to you, but to do so, you have to press A button to paddle it to serve to him. Normal and slow speeds are included in this sequel, but there is a new one added and it's a fast one. When you head a cow bell sound, it warns you that the ball is s coming in which it will come to you at fast speed and bounces really lower. Paddle it as faster as you can! Each cue goes at the same speed, but there are different intervals and mixes of them.
