|Reward = 1 Flow Ball}}'''Karate Man Combos!''' (「カラテ家コンボ」 karateka konbo) is identical to [[Karate Man (Wii)|Karate Man]] from [[Rhythm Heaven Fever]], aside from having a red-orange background instead of a blue one, and it's a last extra game bought from museum shop in [[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]. This game is about [[Karate Joe]] who continues his training of punching objects and learning a new technique called combo. So far, there are 108 games in this series.

== Gameplay ==
|stage={{Stage|Wiistage7}}{{Stage|3DSshop6}}}}
[[File:Karate_Man_Combo_Gameplay.PNG|thumb|232px]] 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 a brief tempo change. There is also a combo, which will appear when a light-bulb appears and start glowing blue 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.
{{Nihongo|Karate Man Combos!|カラテ<ruby>家<rt>か</rt></ruby>コンボ|Karateka Konbo}}, known in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' as {{Nihongo|Karate Man|カラテ<ruby>家<rt>か</rt></ruby>|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]]''.
== Controls ==
The arrange version, [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|Karate Man 2]], appears in Stage 10 in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.
====Button Mode====
==Gameplay==
*A: Punch
[[File:Screenshot Wii Karate Man.png|thumb]]
*Hold B: Start combo (flurry punch)
[[File:Screenshot 3DS Karate Man Combos!.png|thumb]]
*Let go of B: Finish combo (uppercut)
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.
====Simple Tap Mode====
*Tap: Punch
*Hold Stylus: Start combo (flurry punch)
*Let go of Stylus: Finish combo (uppercut)
== Hit or Miss ==
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!}}.
* Hit: Karate Joe punches the assorted objects away. With an combo, he punches everything away and smashes the barrel, looking happy.
* 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 to early or late, or the barrel if not finished correctly), looking sad afterwards.
The following objects appear and needed to be punched off-screen:
* 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.
*Pot
== Rating Notes ==
*Rock
*[[Try Again]]: "''I should eat more before training...''"
*Soccer Ball
*[[OK]]: "''Whoops! My belt came undone...''"
*Light Bulb, followed by a Combo
*[[Superb]]: "''Hiiiyah!''"
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.
|just=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.
|miss=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.

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.}}

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.

You needed to focus on the basics. You were thrown by the changes. Your combos lacked finesse.
You need to learn the basics first. You lost focus during rhythm changes. Your combos lacked finesse.
Eh. Good enough.
Good try.
You have skill in the fundamentals. You took the rhythm changes in stride. You smashed through your combos!
You have mastered the basics! You hit the rhythm change just right. You smashed your combos!
Master's Talking in His Sleep
Your combos lacked finesse. Your basics are basically bad. You were thrown by the changes.
Eh. Passable.
Your basics have a strong base. You took the rhythm changes in stride. You smashed through your combos!
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.
The game has two Karate Joes, standing back-to-back against a red background. P1 controls the blue-skinned Joe on the left in a white robe, and P2 controls the purple-skinned Joe on the right with a purple robe, being the only Two Player game to not use the cyan/orange color scheme.
