Tomba!: Difference between revisions

{{tropelist}}

* [[Airborne Mook]]

** The various suits in the second game, which allowed Tomba to do different things.

*** {{spoiler|Even WORSE, you can't use those clothes IN THE GAME, since it's the ending and there's no new game plus!}}

* [[An Ice Person]]: The Ice Pig in ''2''

* [[Bag of Spilling]].

* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: The Evil Pig Curse over the Circus Village in ''2'' turns them into pigs.

* [[Big Bad]]: The True Evil Pig in both titles.

* [[Big Boo's Haunt]]: Donglin Forest under the Evil Pig Curse in ''2''

* [[Character Title]]

* [[Chokepoint Geography]]

* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: In the first game, there were Red, Blue, and Green gems that gave you Fire, Water, and Wind powers.

** Averted HARD with the Evil Pigs in the first game, as none of their colors related to their respective attacks or elements, except for the [[Dark Is Evil|True Evil Pig who was the final boss.]]

* [[Cool Old Guy]]: Kainen from the second game.

** In the first game, there's the [[Serial Escalation|Hundred-Year old man, Thousand-Year old man, Ten Thousand-Year old man, and the Million-Year old man.]]

* [[Damsel in Distress]]: Tabby in the second game.

* [[Dark Action Girl]]: The Jungle Pig, the only female Evil Pig in 1. Also the Water Pig in 2 who [[Vocal Dissonance|despite her voice]], is clearly female.

* [[First Town]]: The Fisherman Village.

* [[Forgot I Couldn't Swim]]: Inverted. Somehow in the second game, Tomba forgets that he ''can'' swim!

* [[Gentle Giant]]: Gran.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: In both games there's one or more naked Cupid-like angels peeing on a fountain.

** Two words from the first game that make everyone flinch, "Seven Friends". This is one of the last and ''mandatory'' quests in the game. The required friends are in random places all over the world, and when you find the first six, you might go crazy looking for the last friend {{spoiler|only to find out that it's actually Baron.}}

** The Evil Pig Gates may also count.

* [[Heroic Dog]]: Baron again, although defying the Evil Pig all by himself [[Taken for Granite|didn't work out well]].

* [[Heroic Mime]]: For some reason, Tomba seems to be fairly able to understand what people say, but he's unable to talk. In the second game, his [[Non-Human Sidekick]] is there to do the talk for him, and to serve as [[Mr. Exposition]].

* [[Mood Motif]]: In the second game, the music playing during a conversation or cutscene usually depends on the situation. For example, during a normal situation, peaceful music will play. Also, during a emergency or a serious situation, really frantic music will play.

* Mooks: The different types of pigs found in both games, of course.

* [[Ninja]]: Yan.

* [[Non-Human Sidekick]]: Zippo in the second game. Baron could also count.

* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Judging by the dialogues in 2, it seems like the True Evil Pig is this. He even refers to his battle with Tomba as a "play".

* [[Puzzle Boss]]: Besides the Evil Pigs, a few normal enemies also count.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: One of the pigs in the first game wore pink and was male.

** [[Real Men Wear Pink|Real Men Have Pink Hair]]: Tomba is one of the few male characters who can pull this off nicely.

* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]: What Tomba does to the Evil Pigs.

* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: "It's a fire hammer. It's a hammer with the power of fire."

* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: Kujara Ranch under the Evil Pig Curse in ''2''

* [[Smurfette Principle]]: Only one of the evil pigs in the first game is female, and no it's not the Pink Pig. It's actually {{spoiler|the Navy Blue one}}. [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy|I bet you didn't see that coming]].

* [[Time Stands Still]]: {{spoiler|What the second game's final antagonist does to the rest of the world before the final confrontation.}} [[Nightmare Fuel|It's rather creepy]]...

* [[Underwater Ruins]]: The Water Temple in ''2''

* [[Warp Whistle]]: The Wings and, later, Baron.

* [[Wild Man]]: Tomba, our hero.
