He punches flower pots, bowling balls (during every "hit-3!"), soccer balls (for comedic effect), and combos. The music is slower and much more poppy than the original Karate Man, but there are several rhythm changes that might throw some people off. There are also slightly more combos.

Karate Man 2
Karate Joe's intense training regimen continues. Can you help him reach the height of mastery? (No practice.)
Like before, the player controls Karate Joe punching objects that fly towards him. New features include the "Hit 4!" pattern, plenty more offbeats, a "Hit 3!" on the offbeat, and plenty more combos. The game is colored reddish-orange with rising particles, not unlike the Karate Man 2 in Rhythm Heaven.
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 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 Karate Joe missed the pot, he'll look sad. If he missed the barrel by not uppercutting, he'll stand up, looking sad. If the player let go of the buttons too soon or tried to do a combo at the wrong time, Karate Joe will spin after doing the low kick.
