Remix 8 (リミックス 8?, Rimikkusu 8), also known as 8th Remix (8th リミックス?, 8th Rimikkusu) on the prologue, is the 6th Rhythm Game of Last Technician (48th overall) and the eighth remix in Rhythm Tengoku.
Karate Joe enters 本気 (Honki?, Seriousness) mode in the middle of this remix, removing his flow gauge and allowing him to punch rocks freely. After hitting the final pot, he returns to normal, doing a confident face. This would be referenced in later games:
In Rhythm Heaven, Karate Joe makes the same confident face after a successful kick in both Karate Man 2 and in that game's Remix 9, replacing the smile he would otherwise do.
In Rhythm Heaven Fever, the ending of its Remix 9 has Karate Joe shown in silhouette in the dark similar to "honki" mode, and punching the last object returns the visuals to normal with him doing the confident face again.
This is the only Remix to introduce a new mechanic during gameplay, with the みせてあげない♥ (No Peeking♥?) sign in Rhythm Datsumō and 本気 (Honki?, Seriousness) mode in Karateka.
Interestingly, redesigned sprites for this sign, along with two new variations covering only half of the vegetable, exist unused in Rhythm Heaven Megamix.
