Karate Man Returns!

Return of Karate Man (カラテ家 Karateka) is a remake of Karate Man from Rhythm Tengoku that appears in Rhythm Heaven: The Best +.

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

Controls

 * A = Punch

Hit or Miss

 * Hit: Karate Joe will punch the object off-screen.
 * Barely: Karate Joe will wince as the object lands on the ground just in front of him. A barely counts as a miss.
 * Miss: Karate Joe will gasp as the object flies past him.

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!

Collectable Item


   Karate Joe's Memories: Part 2

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.
