Release Date: 1998
"Super Tempo" is a vibrant platform video game for the Sega Saturn, released exclusively in Japan in 1998. It serves as a sequel to "Tempo" (for the Sega 32X) and "Tempo Jr." (for the Game Gear), continuing the series' unique blend of rhythmic and musical elements integrated into the mechanics and storyline of the game. In "Super Tempo," players control the protagonist, a quirky and charismatic music-loving grasshopper, as they hop, dance, and fight through whimsically designed levels. Each stage is meticulously crafted with rich, colorful graphics and backgrounds animated in a style reminiscent of contemporary cartoons, enhancing its appeal and distinguishing it from other platformers of its time.
Gameplay in "Super Tempo" includes traditional platforming elements where timing and rhythm play crucial roles in navigating through the levels and defeating enemies. Unique to this game is its incorporation of musical challenges, where players must perform certain actions in sync with the soundtrack to progress or unlock new abilities and bonus stages. This integration of music extends to the game's narrative, telling a whimsical, light-hearted story through both gameplay and animated sequences. Despite its innovative features and aesthetic charm, "Super Tempo" did not see international release, largely remaining an obscure gem appreciated mainly by collectors and enthusiasts of Sega Saturn's expansive library. Its rarity and distinctive gameplay have given it a cult following in the years following its release.
