'''''Harmoknight''''', known as ''Rhythm Hunter: Harmoknight'' in Japan, is a Rhythm/Platformer created by Creator/GameFreak and their first non-''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' game since ''VideoGame/DrillDozer''. The story follows a warrior-in-training named [[TheHero Tempo]] as he adventures through the musical realm of [[BandLand Melodia]].

Tempo, having found a magical staff [[ItMakesSenseInContext in the belly of a beast]], must bring it to Symphony City to give to a Harmoknight who could put an end to Gargan and his crones. Along the way he meets Lyra, a sharpshooting archer, and Tyko and Cymbi, who use drums and cymbals to take down their foes. Together, they reach Symphony City, only to find out that Gargan had captured its princess, [[DistressedDamsel Ariana]], putting everyone within the city into a deep slumber afterwards. With no one else to stop him, it's up to Tempo and his friends to find Gargan and defeat him themselves.

* BrutalBonusLevel: In the aptly named "Final Trial" stage, the player has to run through a LethalLavaLand with narrow platforms and rings of fire, populated by swarms of enemies that appear at very short notice, all while at an awkward camera position.

* NeverSayDie: Averted by Gargan, highlighting his KnightOfCerebus status.
-->'''Gargan:''' Well, if you don't want to die, you'd best go back the way you came.
