Story
Strangely, the perfect reward for Rhythm Heaven Fever's Karate Man 2, A Musical Term, actually has nothing to do with Karate Joe. It talks about Mr. Upbeat; a therapy session he has with a monkey. Mr. Upbeat is annoyed by people assuming he's upbeat and happy just because it's his name. The name Upbeat is actually on his birth certificate, and it's not a nickname. Mr. Upbeat continues saying that words can mean more than one thing, and not to go with your first definition of a word. Mr. Upbeat reveals to the reader that he comes back to the same therapy room every week to gripe about the same problem. He asks the therapist if they have the same problem, to which the therapist replies, "Oookii oook-ook!" Mr. Upbeat decides to leave, ending it on, "See you next Tuesday for another session of 'Mr. Upbeats Complaints."

Purpose
Mr. Upbeat's game, Mr. Upbeat, emphasizes the offbeat and teaches players how to accurately keep one.
