I’m no expert, but it does sound like team-based croquet, which at high level play also involves chaining up heroic sequences of extra turns.

Observations:
1. After reading your post, I have a bizarre urge to play Gateball (in real life).
2. Only a masochist can watch the entire video you linked to. I tried, but I had to skip ahead, after 17 minutes of resisting…
3. Are there any Badminton sims, on any system?
4. I like playing Badminton.
5. The music becomes a chore to listen to whilst vicariously watching someone else play. Surely they could have embellished the game with a second tune.
6. Any info on how this title sold?
7. I’m surprised Hudson didn’t use the Bikkuriman license to make this a top-seller.
