In the middle of the game, the background changes to circlular patterns alternating between a brighter and darker color.

  • Perfect!/Ace!: Karate Joe punches the object off-screen.
  • Early!/Late!: Karate Joe mistimes the punch, causing him to wince as the object lands on the ground just in front of him.
