{{Nihongo|'''Karate Man 2'''|カラテ家2|Karateka 2}} is the 42nd minigame in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]''. It is the sequel to [[Karate Man Kicks!|Karate Man]]. [[Karate Joe]] continues his training to keep his kicking skill on.

==Gameplay==

[[File:Karate_Man_2_DS_gameplay.png|thumb|192px]]

The game's main change is a new color set, with everything being red and yellow-ish orange. The only other change is that when a barrel kick is pulled off, Karate Joe will get a oddly realistic smiling face. The gameplay is nearly identical to the original. The pace is merely sped up and the patterns get more complicated.

*Hold Stylus: Crouch

*Hit: The player punches the object, sending it flying to the right and off the screen. For a barrel, the player punches it and kicks the bomb in it far away into the background, with Karate Joe smiling afterwards.

*Barely: The player grazes the object, and it falls to the ground. If the barrel is broken, the bomb is only kicked a bit into the background. Karate Joe looks a bit embarrassed. ''A barely counts as a miss.''

*Miss: The player lets the object fly right by Karate Joe. For a barrel, it either flies right by Joe, or if punched, the bomb is not kicked and falls to the ground. Karate Joe looks surprised.

==Trivia==

*The face Karate Joe makes after a successful kick was originally from [[Remix 8 (GBA)|Remix 8]] in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku]]''. It returns in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'s'' [[Remix 9 (Wii)|Remix 9]].

*During the OK and superb epilogue screens, one of [[The Dazzles (characters)|the Dazzles]] made a cameo alongside the [[Barista]].

*Like in the original, even if play has been perfect up to that point, missing the last pot will result in a '''[[Try Again]]''' rating result "You really messed up the ending.". A 'Barely' will not cause failure, however.
