HarmoKnight, known in Japan as Rhythm Hunter: HarmoKnight, is a rhythm platformer developed by Game Freak as a downloadable title for the Nintendo 3DS.

Players control a young boy named Tempo as he travels through automatically scrolling levels. The aim of each level is to gather as many notes as possible, either found throughout the level or earned by hitting enemies and objects. These actions correspond with the rhythm of the music. Many of these levels feature multiple routes which the player can take to achieve a higher score or locate hidden bonuses such as Toris. If Tempo is hit by an enemy or obstacle, he will lose a heart, failing the level if he loses all his hearts or falls down a pit. At the end of each stage, the player will earn a grade based on how many notes they gathered. If the player receives a Great grade on a level, a faster version of that level is unlocked. Some segments will switch control over to other characters, such as Lyra who uses a crossbow and Jinbei who deals with high and low enemies. Levels soon culminate in various boss fights, which require Tempo to repeat actions issued by the enemy. The game also features bonus stages featuring music from the Pokémon series.
