Colorful and accessible Sega platformer with an endearing musical concept. Simple but charming gameplay, suitable for younger players. Short and not very challenging but pleasant to run through. A small enjoyable game that doesn't pretend to be more.

Sequel to the 32X-born Tempo, this musical platformer from Sega stayed a Japan-only release and never saw a Western pressing, making it effectively unobtainable outside import channels. With Tempo failing to catch on as a mascot, the 1998 title slipped by quietly and its print run was small. The strong value comes from that mix of confidential distribution and steady niche demand for Sega's odder first-party curios.
