Karate Man 2
Time for another day of hard training! He tries to hide it, but you can tell he's pleased with himself... (And no practice for you!)
Karate Joe continues training his kicks. The game's main change is a new color palette, with everything being red and yellow-ish orange. The only other change is that when a barrel kick is pulled off, Karate Joe makes a confident face. The gameplay is otherwise nearly identical to the original. The pace is merely sped up and the patterns get more complicated.
Perfect!/Ace!?: Karate Joe punches the object off-screen. For a barrel, he punches it and kicks away the bomb in it, making a weird smile afterwards.
Early!/Late!?: Karate Joe mistimes the punch, causing him to wince as the object lands on the ground just in front of him. If the barrel is broken, the bomb is grazed, landing only a small distance away.
Miss...?: Karate Joe gasps as the object flies past him. If the barrel is broken, the bomb falls to the ground.

Hm... Good enough... I don't know... I guess that was all right.
