Tempo is a 1995 action platforming game developed for the Sega 32X by Red Entertainment Corporation. It was the first game in the Tempo series, and was followed by Tempo Jr. and Super Tempo.
In the game, you control a grasshopper named Tempo, who uses the power of music to rid the world of Rythmia from the minions of the music-hating King Dirge Sound on the television show The Major Minor Show. You defeat enemies by either jumping on them, falling on them, or kicking on them, and you can stun them by shooting music notes at them. When in midair, you can glide slowly downward, destroying any enemy that touches your feet. If you find a special DANCE panel, you can summon your butterfly friend Tina to assist in killing enemies and opening up secret paths.
The game's stages are divided into three different levels; hitting up and down on the stage select screen allow you to choose the level to choose the stage to play from, though you must beat all the stages on one level to be able to go to the next.
