Visual/Gameplay Changes

The game's main change is a new color set, with everything being orange or red. The only other change is that when a barrel combo is pulled off, Karate Joe will get a oddly realistic smiling face.

The gameplay is nearly identical to the original. The pace is merely sped up and the punches and combos get more complicated.

Controls

• Tap: Punch, continue to enter Hold
• Hold: Crouch
• Flick: Kick

Hit or Miss

• Hit: The player punches the object, sending it flying forward. For a barrel, the player punches it and kicks the bomb in it far away into the background, with Karate Joe either smiling or blushing afterwards.
• Barely: The player grazes the object, and it falls to the ground. For a barrel, the barrel is broken, but the bomb is only kicked a bit into the background. Either way, Joe looks a bit embarrassed. A barely counts as a miss in this game.
• Miss: The player lets the object fly right by Karate Joe. For a barrel, it either flies right by Joe, or is punched, but the bomb is not kicked and falls to the ground. Either way, Joe looks surprised.
