Karate Man (3DS)

Karate Man

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

Rhythm Heaven Megamix

Template:Minigame infobox Karate Man (カラテ家^?, Karateka) is the 1st minigame and the short variation of Karateka from Rhythm Tengoku that appears in Rhythm Heaven Megamix. In this game, you are playing as Karate Joe who must punch flying objects off-screen. The game scenery is pink with light-pink circles. The normal variant appears in Honeybee Tower under the title Karate Man Returns!

Gameplay

The game revolves around Karate Joe punching objects. As objects fly by the character, the player must press A to punch them off-screen.

Controls

Button Mode

• A: Punch

Simple Tap Mode

• Tap: Punch

Timing Notes

• Hit: Karate Joe will punch the object off-screen.
• Barely: Karate Joe will wince as the object lands on the ground just in front of him. A barely counts as a miss.
• Miss: Karate Joe will gasp as the object flies past him.

To collect the first Skill Star, punch the soccer ball at the right moment later in the minigame.

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.
