Tempo (テンポ) is a video game for the Sega 32X released in 1995.

The animated backgrounds and imagery is similar to the Rayman games by Ubisoft. The game uses hand-drawn graphics for the backgrounds and sprites. In part because it was released on the failed 32X add-on, it failed to find an audience. Sega nonetheless tried again with two sequels: Tempo Jr. in 1995 for the Game Gear, and Super Tempo in 1998 for the Sega Saturn. Both likewise failed to find an audience.

Reception
