Lyrics
Hey, baby! How's it going?

This beat is non-stop.

Hey, baby! Listen to my phrase.

I can give you the sense of rhythm.

...Oh yeah.

Hey, baby! How's it going?

This beat is non-stop.

Hey, baby! Listen to my phrase.

I can give you the sense of rhythm.

Awake, baby! Trust me!

This beat is non-stop.

New groove in your soul! Oh yeah!

This beat. You are growing up well!

Hey, baby. Hold on to your ambitions.

Hey!

Oh yeah!

Rating notes

 * Try Again: "I still need more training."
 * OK: "Must concentrate my power!"
 * Superb: "Bring it on! I will punch them out, though!"

Collectable Star
At the very end of the minigame time, you have to hit the rock at the right moment to collect the star.

Trivia

 * This version is slightly changed from the original, as this minigame doesn't include the lightbulbs while a bomb near the end was replaced with a black pot and the "Hit 2!" cue also near the end was changed to "Hit 3!". The Flow meter is not present in this game so Karate Joe can punch rocks without hurting his fist like he did in Fever version.
