[[File:Karate_Man's_Father_gameplay.PNG|thumb|left|200px]]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 the 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.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*[[Karate Joe]] makes a cameo in epilogues, physically appearing on the Try Again epilogue.
*[[Karate Joe]] rates his father's performance, while usually it's "the Master" who rates Joe's performance. Karate Joe also comments on his father's performance in the epilogues, being visible in the "Try Again" one.
*[[Karate Joe's father]] has different clothes in the Superb epilogue.
*[[Karate Joe's father]]'s clothes are all black with a grey highlight during the game, but appear more like dark grey in other art.
**Additionally, some sprites contail coloring errors, such as his belt being black instead of red in one of the "strong punch" animation frames, and the black part of his pants appears grey in one spot on one of the frames of the animation for missing a combo. These appear to be the artist not paying enough attention to the details while recoloring Joe's sprites for this minigame.
*While doing "Punch, kick!", the player can knock away the barrel by press B for a combo, which interestingly doesn't break the barrel.

*The epilogues for the game look similar to those of other Karate Man games in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'': The [[Try Again]] epilogue looks similar to the one from [[Karate Man Combos!]] with both feeling weak while being in a featureless colored background, the [[OK]] epilogue in similar to the one from [[Karate Man Kicks!]] with both characters sitting down and eating, and the [[Superb]] epilogue looks similar to the one from [[Karate Man Returns!]] with both characters dashing in the air while striking the same pose.

*This game is notable for being in a set of sequels, without having any prequels of its own (unless one counts it as a sequel to the entire series of "Karate Man")
*This game is notable for being grouped with other arrange games, despite not being an arranged version of any game. It could be seen as an arrangement of ''all'' previous [[Karate Man (Disambiguation)|Karate Man]] games rather than any one in particular.
* This is the only version of Karate Man that had no “Hit 3!” cues at all.
