Gameplay
The game takes place in a featureless white plain in Rhythm Heaven, and a giant cake in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. The player takes control of a Paddler, who is playing a table tennis match with their rival. The rival serves a ball, and the player must hit it back. There are three speeds of served balls: The normal ball, which bounces on every beat; the slow one, which bounces higher on every two beats; and the fast one, which is preceeded by a cowbell noise, after which the ball is bounces on each half beat before it's hit back.
