Hold on to your ambitions! Hey!! Oh yeah!
unfun fact: this karate man has also an animation of him with a really sad face and his hairs down, like if you completly miss a punch kick or a combo.
I did some calculations on how much money spent, so out of all the pots, lightbulbs, soccer balls, and the single bomb karate man joe punched in the GBA game, (not counting remixes and not counting boulders since the family could have gotten them from outside or something like that) and the total adds up to 3432 dollars, I made the bomb 120 dollars because those should be pretty expensive.
If Karate Joe was ever put into Smash, I think the flow meter would be his gimmick. If you can attack at just the right rhythm, his flow meter builds up and you deal more damage. You would also be able to switch between beats, using your neutral special. So you could attack on a 4-beat, an 8-beat, or a 16-beat. You would also be able to attack on the offbeats if you're an expert.
My Review: Good intro stage. It's not too hard, song is really good. It's just that classic Karate Man. Flow gauge was a pretty bad idea though personally. 9/10
The very first rhythm game in the entire Rhythm Heaven series! I didn't know this until I searched Rhythm Tengoku up. Since Rhythm Tengoku is the first Rhythm Heaven game, Japan doesn't know if it should be released worldwide. I think that they should. It's a really good game.
While for most of the song the singer's voice feels mechanical and forced, that "hey baby, hold onto your ambitions" feels... So genuine? Like the singer is looking directly into my eyes and telling me to not give up in that part Its a bizarre direction but honestly I'm down for it
Karate Joe (カラテ家, Karateka?) is the very first character to appear in the Rhythm Heaven Series in a Rhythm Game, appearing primarily in the Karate Man games, and one of the few characters to appear in every game since Rhythm Tengoku. He is succeeding his Father (父さん, Tōsan?) in karate. Karate Joe is characterized by his pale white skin, big nose, and balding head. He wears a karate suit that matches the color of his skin. He is barefoot. He is often described as very expressive and fearless. His Father has a tall, black, curly beehive haircut. He wears a black karate outfit with a red belt. He has a moustache, sunglasses, and is barefoot just like his son. The two of them are also shown eating a lot of food between training sessions.
Story Karate Joe is a lonely martial artist who struggles with his training. He seems to be developing his own unique karate style which incorporates rhythm. He has a very emotional personality, which can be seen in his many facial expressions. At the martial arts competitions, the opponent reads all his tricks, and he can't get results. Sometimes he goes to his master for advice, whose usual response is "You needed to focus on the basics."[1] Karate Joe has dreamed of being a soccer player even since he was a child, but his Father wanted him to master karate instead, and told him that he can't leave his house until he masters it. Even as an adult, Karate Joe still lives in the basement[2]. His Father also stole the ball that Joe had bought and used it as a punching bag[3]. Father is a master at karate, but not cooking. Occasionally he makes dinner anyway, such as one day when Karate Joe's mother was out of the house[4], and asks his son if he likes it. Joe has to lie and say that he likes it to make him feel good[5]. Father got his son bombs to make him face his fears. At first, Karate Joe thought they were fake, but then one exploded. He still vividly remembers his Father's face as he said "Are you surprised?"[6] Karate Joe has no idea where his father got them from[7]. Father keeps a bunch of barrels around, but Karate Joe has no idea why. He asked multiple times, but was told that he can only know when he is stronger than his father[8]. Karate Joe envies his Father's incredible vision that allows him to quickly tell the color of a light bulb and counter it[9]. He also sees this as an explanation for how his Father can easily counter his attacks[10].
Other Appearances In Rhythm Tengoku, Karate Joe appears in the first Rhythm Game, Karateka. It involves the Flow gauge, which determines if he can punch hard objects such as rocks and bombs, which depends on how well the player is doing in the game. In Karateka 2, he also has to contend with the ever changing tempo. In Remix 8, the Flow gauge disappears, and Karate Joe is enveloped in shadow. He can now punch rocks no matter what. At the end, he returns to normal, making a weird face. Karate Joe reappears in the arcade version of the game, with the same appearances, in addition to Karateka [TEMPO UP!] , which is a sped up version of the original. Here, he is wearing boxing gloves and black boxing shorts, and is training for a boxing match. Karate Joe reappears in Rhythm Heaven, in the last Rhythm Game before the Staff Credits, Karate Man. In Remix 6, he can be seen with hair and kicking soccer balls in place of bombs. He later makes a cameo in Blue Birds 2, where he is seen in one of the memories, training while the birds spy on him from a bush. In Karate Man 2, he takes on another day of hard training. This time he's very pleased with himself, though he tries to hide it. He makes the weird face again when kicking away bombs. In the epilogues, one of The Dazzles is shown to admire him, calling him "hot stuff" and offering him a towel. In Battle of the Bands, he can be seen in the audience, watching the Rockers perform on stage. In Rhythm Heaven Fever, he is once again in the last Rhythm Game before the Credits, Karate Man. In Remix 7, he wears black shades while punching stuff in space. At one point he lies down and watches TV, which coincidentally shows Karateka from Rhythm Tengoku itself. In Remix 9 he is accompanied by a cat[11]. In Karate Man 2, he reaches "the height of mastery" in karate, after which he is seemingly able to control fire as seen in the Superb epilogue. In the Two Player version, he wears a headband, and is accompanied by another Karate Joe in purple clothes. In Rhythm Heaven Megamix, he appears in Honeybee Remix, where he wears a bee hat and a stinger. In the middle of the remix, several bees fly past him. At the end, the hat and stinger fly away, and he starts thinking about pancakes. He also watches in awe at his Father's mastery in Karate Man Senior. He gives commentary on his Father's performance, the same way the Master does on Joe's training. Additionally, Karate Man Returns!, Karate Man Kicks! and Karate Man Combos! all reappear, along with a short version of Karate Man. Karate Joe appears in the Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic, where he is seen training even on Christmas Eve. Humorously, despite the lack of snow in the general area, there's a snowstorm blowing solely on him. He also appears in Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic, where he is the first at the reunion. It is unknown when these events occur in relation to the general story.
I still scratch my head at how, back then, Karate Joe needed Flow just to... be able to use his right hand. lol.
He gathered the strength to not need Flow at the end of the game. I guess Tengoku was his training.
I think its a "teaching you to flow harder" meter
Its YOURS.
Maybe he was left handed then. Because in Ds, he used his right hand.
Yo is this zekira osu?
It's been over 10 years, we never figured out how he was going...
He's now a broken man
and sadly, the beat will never stop.

He will always be there. In his dad’s basement. At least until he can actually karate correctly.
