(カラテ家コンボ karateka konbo), known in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' as '''Karate Man '''(カラテ家 karateka), aside from having a red-orange in Megamix background instead of a blue one in Fever, 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 called combo. "[[Lonely Storm]]" is played in this game. The sequel to this game, [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|Karate Man 2]], is unlocked later on.

== Gameplay ==

[[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 after a light-bulb that is glowing blue 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.

The game has two Karate Joes, standing back-to-back. The first player controls the Joe is on the left in a white robe, and the second player controls the Joe on the right with a purple robe. Both players must hit the various objects as they fly out. For the most part, the players do the the same thing, though at a few points, one player does go to the front and is the only one to hit objects. [[File:Karate_2_players.png|thumb|220px|The gameplay of two-player mode of Karate Man]]

== Trivia ==

* In ''Megamix'', due to the fact that every version appeared, the [[Karate Man ~~(DS)~~|DS version]] was named "[[Karate Man Kicks!]]", the [[Karate Man (Wii)|Wii version]] was named "Karate Man Combos!", and the [[Karate Man ~~(GBA)~~|GBA version]] was named "[[Karate Man Returns!]]".

* This is the third time a [[Karate Man]] game has appeared in the ''Rhythm Heaven'' franchise, with the [[Karate Man Returns!|other]] [[Karate Man Kicks!|two]] in previous games.

* Just like in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', Karate Joe is the last "regular" game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' before the credits, and the last non-sequel, non-remix game in the entire game.

* The two-player version of the game is the only time that the players don't go by the standard two-player color scheme (P1= Blue, P2= Orange).

* In ''Megamix'', due to the fact that every version appeared, the [[Karate Man Kicks!|DS version]] was named "[[Karate Man Kicks!]]", the [[Karate Man (Wii)|Wii version]] was named "Karate Man Combos!", and the [[Karate Man Returns!|GBA version]] was named "[[Karate Man Returns!]]".

* Comparing with the rating screens for this game and the [[Karate Man (Wii)|Fever version]], Karate Joe appears in red color in ''Megamix'', but in ''Fever'', he appears in blue color just like in [[Karate Man Kicks!]]. The reason why this was changed is because Karate Man Kicks! has Karate Joe in Blue color, so this game has him in the red color to fit the colorization with its [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|sequel]] from ''Fever''.

* This is the only ''Rhythm Heaven Fever'' game to have its title card fully changed in international version in ''Megamix''. The Japanese version includes the Fever title card with the red background.
