Tomba!: Difference between revisions

*** Taken to its literal extreme in the second game; for getting [[One Hundred Percent Completion]], you get {{spoiler|a nicer set of clothes. ''That's it''}}. Sure worth the countless hours you invested clearing every event, eh?

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

* [[Anime Hair]]: Tomba, to an extreme.

* [[Back Tracking]]: Expect to do a lot of this if you want to get [[100% Completion]]. In both games.

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Tomba and Baron.

* [[Bag of Spilling]]

** Same thing with Baccus Village in the first game, with mice though.

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

* [[Big Friendly Dog]]: Baron.

* [[Blessed with Suck]]: Some enemies will turn you [[Invisibility|invisible]] in the second game, which sounds cool, until you realize that you can't use any of your clothes or interact with anybody.

* [[Bottomless Pits]]: Lava Caves in the first game is riddled with these.

* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: The Masakari tribe, courtesy of the Jungle Pig.

* [[Character Title]]

* [[Chokepoint Geography]]

* [[Cute Witch]]: Mizuno, who's actually referred to as such.

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

* [[Death Mountain]]: Phoenix Mountain in the first game.

* [[Elemental Powers]]: The Evil Pigs; in the first game: [[Musical Assassin|the Blue Pig]], [[Blow You Away|the Red Pig]], [[Playing with Fire|the Green Pig]], [[Dishing Out Dirt|the Orange Pig]], [[Shock and Awe|the Pink Pig]], [[Green Thumb|the Navy Blue Pig]] and the [[Making a Splash|Yellow Pig]].

** In the second game: [[Playing with Fire|the Fire Pig]], [[An Ice Person|the Ice Pig]], [[Casting a Shadow|the Ghost Pig]], [[Dishing Out Dirt|the Earth Pig]] and the [[Making a Splash|Water Pig]].

* [[Lean and Mean]]: The Yellow Evil Pig in the first game.

* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: The inside of Phoenix Mountain in the first game.

* [[Lost Forever]]: Break the Spiked Barrel on the first game, and that's ''it''! The event involving that Barrel will never be fulfilled! [[Guide Dang It|Goodbye]], [[One Hundred Percent Completion]].

** You're bound to miss a lot on your first playthrough due to this trope, and during your second playthrough, [[Guide Dang It|(if you aren't using a guide)]] you're going to be scared to even touch anything that isn't plot-related.

** Make sure that you have ''every'' sidequest you want to do completed in ''Tomba! 2'' because once you enter the door with the Evil Pig Gate, time will stop, and you can only finish the main story.

* [[Meaningless Lives]]: On the first game. Was thankfully averted on the next one.

* [[Mega Manning]]: In the sequel, defeating one of the evil pigs grant you a cloth with the powers of said pig.

** And [[Up to Eleven|Kainen is even older]].

* [[Old Save Bonus]]: Several of the quests in the second game are only available if you complete a series of quests and have a save file from the first game (at the Grapplejack point or later).

* [[Plot Coupon]]: The Evil Pig Bags to...

* [[Precision-Guided Boomerang]]

* [[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.

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

* [[Shout-Out]]: Possibly coincidental, but an early task in the first game requires the rescuing of [[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (novel)|seven dwarves]].

* [[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]].

* [[Speaking Simlish]]: Arguably in the first game. The second game was fully voiced.

* [[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]]...

* [[Too Good to Last]]: Only two games have been made. Justified since the company behind the games went defunct not long after the release of the second game.

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

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