Gameplay

File:Karate Man's Father gameplay.PNG

In this game, you are in the place of Karate Joe's Father. As objects fly by the character, the player must press A to punch them off-screen.. On occasion, a lightbulb will be thrown and start glowing yellow indicating that a barrel containing a bomb will be thrown next. After punching the barrel open, the bomb must then be kicked away by releasing A button at the same time. There is also a combo, which will appear when a light-bulb appears and start glowing blue instead of yellow. 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.

Hit or Miss

• Hit: Karate Joe's father punches the assorted objects away. For a barrel, he punches it and kicks the bomb in it far away into the background. And with a combo, he punches everything away and smashes the barrel, looking happy.
• Barely: Karate Joe's father just grazes the objects, making them fall onto the ground. For a barrel, the barrel is broken, but the bomb is only kicked a bit into the background. And with a combo, he only hits some of the objects (either some pots if to early or late, or the barrel if not finished correctly), looking sad afterwards. A barely counts as a miss in this game.
• Miss: Karate Joe's father completely misses or doesn't punch, and the object flies past, with him looking surprised. For a barrel, it either flies right by him, or is punched, but the bomb is not kicked and falls to the ground. And with a combo, he either lets all the objects fly by, or messes up and spins out after the move is done.
