{{Nihongo|'''Karate Man Combos!'''|カラテ家コンボ|Karateka Konbo}}, known in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' as {{Nihongo|'''Karate Man'''|カラテ家|Karateka}}, is the 34th minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and the 108th and last minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. This game features the most recurring character of the ''Rhythm Heaven'' games, [[Karate Joe]], who continues his training of punching objects and learning a new technique - the combo. "[[Lonely Storm]]" is played in this game. The sequel to this game, [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|Karate Man 2]], is unlocked later on in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.
{{Nihongo|Karate Man Combos!|カラテ家コンボ|Karateka Konbo}}, known in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' as {{Nihongo|Karate Man|カラテ家|Karateka}}, is the 4th [[Rhythm Game]] of Stage 7 (34th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and the 3rd of [[Shop No. 6]] (108th and final overall), costing 15 [[Flow Ball]]s, in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.
The arrange version, [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|Karate Man 2]], appears in Stage 10 in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.
[[File:Screenshot 3DS Karate Man Combos!.png|thumb]]
The player must press the A button to make Karate Joe punch a pot that flies by. Occasionally, there will be a voice saying "Hit 3" along with text, and the player would have to hit two pots in a row, followed by a rock-like object. At certain parts of the song, a "!" mark will appear by Karate Joe, signaling an item on the offbeat. There is also a combo, which will appear after a light-bulb (that is glowing blue in ''Megamix'') appears instead of a pot. Directly after the light-bulb will follow with several pots and then a barrel, which the player will have to hit with a flurry of punches and kicks, ending in an uppercut. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the lightbulbs glow blue (as the kicks are also in the same game, whose light bulbs now glow yellow), and the game is colored reddish-orange like [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|its sequel]].
As with previous [[Karate Man]] games, the player controls [[Karate Joe]], punching any object that flies by. Upon hearing {{Nihongo|"Hit 3!"|３つ！|Mittsu!}}, 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, to the rhythm of {{Nihongo|"Punchy-punch, ka-pow!"|「テキパキどっかーん！」|Tekipaki dokka~n!}}.
The following objects appear and needed to be punched off-screen:
*Pot
*Rock
*Soccer Ball
*Light Bulb, followed by a Combo
In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'', the Light Bulbs do not glow, and the game is colored blue with snow falling, much like the [[Karate Man (DS)|Karate Man]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the Light Bulbs now glow blue (taken from the gameplay in [[Karate Man Senior]]), and the game is colored reddish-orange like [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|Karate Man 2]] with rising particles, to contrast [[Karate Man Kicks!]] having the blue coloration with snow and yellow Light Bulbs.
*Hit: Karate Joe punches the assorted objects away. With a combo, he punches everything away and smashes the barrel, either just blushing or getting a huge smile on his face.
*Barely: Karate Joe just grazes the objects, making them fall onto the ground. With a combo, he only hits some of the objects (either some pots if too early or late, or the barrel if not finished correctly), looking sad afterwards. '''A barely counts as a miss.'''
*Miss: Karate Joe completely misses or doesn't punch, and the object flies past, with him looking surprised. With a combo, Joe either lets all the objects fly by, or messes up and spins out after the move is done, looking sad afterwards.

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!" (３つ！?, Mittsu!), 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, to the rhythm of "Punchy-punch, ka-pow!" (「テキパキどっかーん！」?, Tekipaki dokka~n!).
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.
