* ''Tempo'' ([[UsefulNotes/Sega32X 32X]]): The very first title. Tempo can GoombaStomp and attack using kicks and stunning projectiles.
* ''Tempo Jr.'' (UsefulNotes/GameGear): A spinoff based on the first game, and the only one of the three to reach Europe.
* ''Super Tempo'' (UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn): The Japan-only final entry made by Aspect with some original Red Staff members. It turns Katy (Tempo's girlfriend) into a full-fledged playable character. Has more advanced level design, and introduces gameplay much more akin to a run and gun platformer, [[UnexpectedGameplayChange along with an assorment of various in-level minigames]].

* ScoringPoints: In the original and ''Super Tempo'', the player is granted a [[AWinnerIsYou different image at the end depending upon how many points they had accumulated over the course of the game.]] Unfortunately, due to a programming oversight in the first game, most of the images are nigh-impossible to get.

** In the first game, each kind of attack awards a different amount of points when an enemy is beaten. To earn the most points, you must bother with using Tempo's back kick whenever possible since it is worth 500. Stomping combos eventually award 1000 points per bounce, but there is only a single area in the game where that is both achievable and worth more points than performing donkey kicks.
** You can get a Perfect bonus for obtaining certain items in each stage and remaining extra lives are converted into more points after beating the final boss.

* SomeDexterityRequired: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fcb9lbtBD5M Achieving the best ending]] in the first game without grinding for points requires performing ''very'' well in the karate chopping minigame nine times in a row. It is a nine-rounds rhythm game that gets faster and faster and drops the visual guide for when you should press a button after the first round.

''Tempo'' is a platform game series created by Creator/{{Sega}} in cooperation with Creator/{{Red|Entertainment}} (the influence of previous ''Videogame/{{Bonk}}'' titles is noticeable), starring the eponymous cartoony music-loving grasshopper in a BandLand cutesy world, fighting against ants ruled by the notorious Major Minor. The main goal is to collect musical notes and some treasures to score enough points to become rich. The series features gorgeous hand-drawn levels and sprites, in the same fashion of ''VideoGame/{{Rayman}}'' games.

Something Completely Different is no longer a trope. It's an index now. Examples that do not fit existing tropes will be deleted.


* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: One stage in the first game starts out in a circus, moves on to its backstage where the staff is sleeping, and then ends on a ''construction site''???
