{{Nihongo|'''Karate Man Combos!'''|カラテ家コンボ|Karateka Konbo}}, known in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' as {{Nihongo|'''Karate Man'''|カラテ家|Karateka}}, is the 4th [[Rhythm Game]] of the seventh stage (34th overall) in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' and the 3rd of [[Shop No. 6]] (108th and final overall), costing 15 [[Flow Ball|Flow Balls]], in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''.

 

The arrange version, [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|Karate Man 2]], appears in the tenth stage in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''.

The player controls [[Karate Joe]], and must punch any pot that flies by. Occasionally, there will be a voice saying "Hit 3" along with text, and the player would have to hit two pots in a row, followed by a rock-like object. At certain parts of the song, a "!!" mark will appear by Karate Joe, signaling an item on the offbeat. There is also a combo, which will appear after a light-bulb appears instead of a pot. Directly after the light-bulb will follow with several pots and then a barrel, which the player will have to hit with a flurry of punches and kicks, ending in an uppercut.  

 

In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'', the lightbulbs now glow blue (taken from the gameplay in [[Karate Man Senior]]), and the game is colored reddish-orange like [[Karate Man 2 (Wii)|its sequel]], with [[Karate Man Kicks!]] using the blue coloration instead.

 

{{Timing|Ace! = Karate Joe punches the object off-screen. During a combo, he successfuly punches away the pots and uppercuts the barrel, breaking it apart. He reacts with a blush.|Early!/Late! = Karate Joe mistimes the punch, (causing him to wince in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]'') as the object lands on the ground just in front of him. Mistiming the first pot or the barrel in a combo has the same effect, and he reacts with a sad face.|Miss... = Karate Joe gasps as the object flies past him. During a combo, if Karate Joe missed the pot, he'll look sad. If he missed the barrel by not uppercutting, he'll stand up, looking sad. If the player let go of the buttons too soon or tried to do a combo at the wrong time, Karate Joe will spin after doing the low kick.}}

==Two-Player==

A version of the game can be unlocked in the two-player mode. It is the 8th and final game for that mode, requiring you to beat the original game and the previous two-player game, [[Tap Troupe]], to unlock.

[[File:Karate_2_players.png|thumb|220px|The gameplay of two-player mode of Karate Man]]

The game has two Karate Joes, standing back-to-back. The first player controls the blue-skinned Joe on the left in a white robe, and the second player controls the purple-skinned Joe on the right with a purple robe. Both players must hit the various objects as they fly out. At a few points, one player goes to the front and is the only one to hit objects.

*Just like in ''[[Rhythm Heaven]]'', Karate Man is the last "regular" game in ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]'' before the credits, and the last non-sequel, non-remix game in the entire game.

* In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]], ''this game uses a red color palette despite being the first version of the original. In ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]], ''the first version is blue and the second version is red instead. This change may be because of the color palette for [[Karate Man Kicks!]] being blue already.

* A light-bulb counts as a part of the combo.
