Karate Man
Who knew karate training could be so brutal? A punch will take care of most things, but those bombs call for a solid kick!
The gameplay is lifted mainly from Rhythm Tengoku's Karateka, which revolves around Karate Joe punching flying objects thrown to him. Punches must be timed correctly to the rhythm of the music. Upon hearing "Hit 3!", the player must hit three consecutive pots.
On occasion, a Light Bulb is thrown, indicating that a barrel containing a bomb follows. After punching the barrel open, the bomb must then be kicked away afterwards. Some barrels are thrown without a Light Bulb before them, however.
In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, a few changes are made to match the later iteration in Rhythm Heaven Fever. Karate Joe now faces right like he does in the left hand versions. The "Hit 3!" cue now has a visual indicator in addition to the voice clip, and the last pot in these sets was changed to a rock. The Light Bulbs now glow yellow (taken from the gameplay in Karate Man Senior). The bombs also now explode instead of disappearing.
Perfect!/Ace!?: Karate Joe punches the object off-screen. For a barrel, he punches it and kicks away the bomb in it, smiling 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. If the player misses the last one, they will be given a Try Again.

Focus on learning the basics first. You really messed up the ending.

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

You kept up with the rhythm well. You nailed the first one! Nice timing on the kicks!

The Master's Commentary
You cannot progress without better fundamentals. Your triple punches were thrice cursed. You kick like a slug.
Eh. Passable.
Your fundamentals are excellent. Your triple punches were triply passable. You kick like a cricket!
Unlike in Rhythm Heaven, the "Hit 3!" and "Punch, kick!" voice clips are said in English in the French, German, Italian and Spanish versions of Rhythm Heaven Megamix, despite the song still being dubbed in those languages. This is most likely because the rest of the audio in the game is borrowed from the Karate Man game in Rhythm Heaven Fever, which wasn't dubbed in those languages.
