*Some details and lore in the [[Rhythm Item]]s are added/changed in some regions, like the detail about Karate Joe still living in his basement is present in most versions beyond the original Japanese version (as well as the Korean version). The French version has the detail that Karate Joe is 55 years old (whether or not this applies to other regions is currently unknown). Other alternative details include Karate Joe mentioning his mother, who was out one day and so his father tried cooking, and that Karate Joe once tried to steal the alcohol stored in the barrels, but was caught by his Father and told he can drink it only when he becomes stronger than him (from the Japanese version).<ref>"こないだ、こっそり父さんのお酒を飲もうとしたところ、父さんに見つかってしまった。「お前には早い。もしもオレより、強くなる時が来たら、ウマイ酒を飲ませてやる」だって。けっきょく、父さんとお酒を飲んだことは、まだない。" ''(The other day, I secretly tried drinking my father's alcohol, but he found out. "You're not ready for it," he said, "but if you ever get stronger than me, I'll give you a drink." I've never had a drink with my dad before, actually.)'' ~ [[Rhythm Item]] description for [[Karate Man Combos!]], ''Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus''</ref>
