*Miss: Karate Joe will gasp as the object flies past him. The Flow bar will deplete completely. When punching a rock or a bomb in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'', and the flow bar is not high enough, Karate Joe will gasp as the object falls to the ground and his fist will turn red in pain.

*Karate Man has become rather well-known for being the first ever rhythm game in the franchise. This has allowed it to make it into the [[Karate Man Kicks!|next]] [[Karate Man Combos!|three]] [[Karate Man Senior|games]] in the series, with new mechanics.

* The ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' version is slightly changed from the original, as the light bulbs were replaced by other objects, while the "Hit 2!" cue near the end was changed to "Hit 3!". The bomb at the end of said cue was replaced with a cooking pot. The Flow meter is not present in this game so Karate Joe can punch rocks without hurting his fist like he did in the GBA version.
