Karate Man (3DS)

"The key to karate, as in all other things, is rhythm. Now, let us throw some stuff at you for you to punch."

- Karate Man Description

Karate Man (カラテ家) is the 1st minigame and a short variation of Karate Man from Rhythm Tengoku that appears in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, you are playing as Karate Joe who must punch flying objects off-screen. The game scenery is pink with light-pink circles. A sequel later appears in Honeybee Tower under the title Karate Man Returns!.

The game revolves around Karate Joe punching objects. As objects fly by the character, the player must press A to punch them off-screen.

Timing Notes

 * Hit: Karate Joe will punch the object off-screen.

Trivia

 * This is one of the few games to have different rating screens in both versions, except for the Try Again rating, as it stays the same as the original, but with a slight change. It is switched to the right, rather than the left.
 * Like the Karate Man game in Rhythm Tengoku, this is the first game you play.
