Air Rally 2

You know what livens up a long plane trip? Badminton. It makes the miles just fly by!

Rhythm Heaven Megamix

Air Rally 2 (かえってきた バドミントン^?, Kaettekita Badominton), knows in Rhythm Heaven Fever as Air Rally (バドミントン^?, Badominton), is the 13th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Fever and the 35th minigame in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. It features Baxter and Forthington playing badminton in the sky. It's the sequel to Air Rally in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

Gameplay

The Gameplay is the exact same as the prequel, but the tempo is now much faster. The game takes place much higher in the sky.

In addition to the increased tempo and altered aesthetics, the game will attempt to visually mislead the player by having the two planes distance from each other. The beat remains the same, however, so don't be fooled!

Trivia

• Sometimes in the background, the player can see the Blue Birds and their captain from Rhythm Heaven flying through the sky, replacing the normal birds. One can also be seen in the Superb epilogue screen.
• If you miss the last shot of the game, Forthington says, "Come on! You can't miss the last shot! How lame is that! Anyway, good game!"
• There is no practice for this game in Megamix, but there is a new one that changes distance between Forthington's place to far away while Baxter's place on his right side, making it difficult to hit the shuttlecock at the same time. This is one of a few times that a new cue wasn’t given or mentioned in a practice; the others including Night Walk 2, Bon Dance, Karate Man 2 (GBA), Marcher 2, Sneaky Spirits 2, the GBA sequel, Karate Man, The Dazzles 2, & Glee Club 2 (DS).
• This is one of the few games in the franchise to require player input after the music finishes. Other games like this are Remix 4 (GBA), Remix 5 (GBA), Air Batter 2, Lockstep, Fan Club 2, Lockstep 2, and Flock Step.
• The second "Bu-bum bum bum!" was changed in Megamix.
• A Threefish from Catch of the Day is in the sprite sheet for this game, but it went completely unused.
