== Visual/Gameplay Changes ==
The game's main change is a new color set, with everything being orange or red. The only other change is that when a barrel combo is pulled off, Karate Joe will get a oddly realistic smiling face.
The gameplay is nearly identical to the original. The pace is merely sped up and the punches and combos get more complicates.
The long version, [[Karate Man Kicks!]], appears in the sixth stage in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'' and [[Shop No. 2]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.

*Miss: The player lets the object fly right by Karate Joe. For a barrel, it either flies right by Joe, or is punched, but the bomb is not kicked and falls to the ground. Either way, Joe looks surprised.

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 set, 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 short distance away.
Miss...?: Karate Joe gasps as the object flies past him. If the barrel is broken, the bomb falls to the ground.
