Karate Man
This is karate training at its most intense! Punch the flying objects, and go crazy when a whole mess of them come at you!
As with previous Karate Man games, the player controls Karate Joe, punching any object that flies by. Upon hearing "Hit 3!", the player must hit two consecutive pots followed by a rock. Sometimes, a "!!" mark appears, signaling an object on the offbeat. The main feature is the "Combo!", preceded by a Light Bulb. It consists of several pots and then a barrel, which the player has to hit with a flurry of punches and kicks, ending in an uppercut. The following objects appear and needed to be punched off-screen:
Perfect!/Ace!?: Karate Joe punches the object off-screen. During a combo, he successfully punches away the pots and uppercuts the barrel, breaking it apart. He reacts with a blush.
Early!/Late!?: Karate Joe mistimes the punch (causing him to wince in Rhythm Heaven Megamix) as the object lands on the ground just in front of him. Mistiming the first pot or the barrel in a combo has the same effect, and he reacts with a sad face.
Miss...?: Karate Joe gasps as the object flies past him. During a combo, if he misses the pot, he looks sad. If he misses the barrel by not uppercutting, he stands up, looking sad. If the player lets go of the button(s) too soon or tries to do a combo at the wrong time, he spins out after doing the low kick.

My father keeps a bunch of these little barrels around, but I've never understood why. When I've asked, he says I can know when I am stronger than he is.
