{{Nihongo|'''Karate Man Returns!'''|かえってきた カラテ家|Kaettekita Karateka|}}, known in [[Rhythm Tengoku]] as {{Nihongo|'''Karate Man'''|カラテ家|Karateka|}}, is the 1st minigame in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' and the 33rd minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. In this game, [[Karate Joe]] is training by punching flying objects off-screen. The sequel, [[Karate Man 2 (GBA)|Karate Man 2]], is unlocked later on in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''. It's also a sequel to [[Karate Man (Megamix)|Karate Man]] in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''. | |||

The gameplay of this game | [[File:Hey_baby_gameplay.png|thumb|240px]] | ||
The gameplay of this game sees Karate Joe punching out the flying objects off-screen which is done by pressing the A button. The flow bar (found only in ''Tengoku''), located on the left, acts as an ability meter of sorts, responding to the player's successes (see below). Unless the meter is at three or more, Karate Joe cannot punch rocks or bombs; attempting to do so will result in a miss. | |||
There are various objects that need to be punched off-screen | There are various objects that need to be punched off-screen: | ||

* | *Light Bulb (only in ''Tengoku'') | ||

==Trivia== | |||
*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. | |||
*Karate Man is one of the three games to return in each installment of the series. | |||
* The name Karate Joe may be based from Knuckle Joe from the Kirby series. Both use fists and feet (see [[Karate Man Kicks!]]), their first names are fighting-related and they end with "Joe". | |||
* Like the other games in Stage 1, this game [[Karate Man Tempo Up!|reappears]] in the arcade version as part of the [[Extra]] stage, where it is accelerated to 1.5 speed, with new orchestration to match. | |||
* This is the first game in the Rhythm Heaven Series to include vocals. | |||
* The audio gasp for missing the object in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]'' may override the thrown object cue. This may cause problems if trying to play the stage without looking at the screen. | |||
* Missing a single object will count as a OK or Try Again. | |||
* The ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'' version is slightly changed from the original, as the light bulbs were replaced by other object, while the "Hit 2!" cue near the end was changed to "Hit 3!". The bomb at the end of 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. | |||
