Karate Man (3DS)

The key to karate, as in all other things, is rhythm. Now, let us throw some stuff at you for you to punch.

Trivia

• This is one of the few games to have different epilogue screens in both versions, except for the Try Again screen, as it stays the same as the original, but with a slight change. It is switched to the right, rather than the left.
• Like the Karate Man game in Rhythm Tengoku, this is the first game you play.
