Line 15:
*** 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}}!
* [[An Ice Person]]: The Ice Pig in ''Tomba! 2''.

* [[Badass Adorable]]: Tomba and Baron.
* [[Bag of Spilling]]
* [[Baleful Polymorph]]: The Evil Pig Curse over the Circus Village in ''Tomba! 2'' turns them into pigs.
** Same thing with Baccus Village in the first game, with mice though.
* [[Big Bad]]: The True Evil Pig in both titles.
* [[Big Boo's Haunt]]: Donglin Forest under the Evil Pig Curse in ''Tomba! 2''.
* [[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.

* [[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.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Part of Tomba's arsenal, including the Fire Hammer and [[Infinity+1 Sword|Torch Hammer]] in ''Tomba! 2''.

Line 76:
* [[Lean and Mean]]: The Yellow Evil Pig in the first game.
* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: The inside of Phoenix Mountain in the first game.
** Also the Great Underground Mine under the Evil Pig Curse in ''Tomba! 2''.
* [[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.
* [[Luck-Based Mission]]: All the boss battles in ''Tomba! 1'' are this. Essentially, you have to toss the pig inside the giant, rotating bag in order to seal it away.
* [[Making a Splash]]: The Water Pig in ''Tomba! 2''.
* [[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.

* [[Playing with Fire]]: The Fire Pig in ''Tomba! 2''.
* [[Plot Coupon]]: The Evil Pig Bags to...
* [[Precision-Guided Boomerang]]
* [[Psychopathic Manchild]]: Judging by the dialogues in ''Tomba! 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.
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: The five evil elemental pigs in ''Tomba! 2'', including the Fire Pig, the Ice Pig, the Ghost Pig, the Earth Pig and the Water Pig.
* [[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.
Line 112:
* [[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]].
* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: Kujara Ranch under the Evil Pig Curse in ''Tomba! 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]].
* [[Speaking Simlish]]: Arguably in the first game. The second game was fully voiced.
Line 119:
* [[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.
* [[Underwater Ruins]]: The Water Temple in ''Tomba! 2''.
* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: Apparently, the voice actor for the Water Pig in ''Tomba! 2'' didn't realize that she was female, even if she refers to herself with feminine pronouns and has a clearly female-shaped body and [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics|lipstick]].
* [[Warp Whistle]]: The Wings and, later, Baron.
* [[Wild Man]]: Tomba, our hero.
