Line 25:
** Samething with Baccus Village in the first game, with mice though.
* [[Big Bad]]: The True Evil Pig in both titles.
* [[Big BoosBoo's Haunt]]: Donglin Forest under the Evil Pig Curse in ''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.
Line 42:
* [[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.
* [[Death Mountain]]: Phoenix Mountain in the first game.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]: Part of Tomba's arsenal, including the Fire Hammer and [[Infinity Plus One+1 Sword|Torch Hammer]] in 2.
* [[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]].
* [[Elemental Rock -Paper -Scissors]]: Only two elements, though, in the second game. Fire and Ice.
* [[Epic Flail]]: Tomba's main weapon.
* [[Eternal Engine]]: Iron Castle in the first game.
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Monkeys]]: Charles, although he's arguably reduced to [[The Scrappy]] on the second game.
* [[Excited Show Title]]
* [[Excuse Plot]]: Specifically in the second game. Screw the plot, people play the game to bite pigs.
{{quote| Quick! Tabby went missing! She was captured by the Evil Pigs because they wanted her necklace for no reason whatsoever! You've got to save her by capturing them in [[Colour -Coded for Your Convenience|colored purses]]! You may also deviate from your objective to do ridiculously unnecessary quests that add nothing to the story whatsoever, like transporting cement in a trolley, washing oversized chickens up, and guiding a worm through a series of booby-trapped seesaws so it can eat a leaf!}}
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Yan's father wears one.
* [[Fat Bastard]]: The Earth Pig in the sequel is really fat compared to his colleagues.
Line 68:
* [[Gusty Glade]]: Phoenix Mountain uder the Evil Pig Curse in the first game.
* [[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]].
* [[Hidden Elf Village]]: [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|The Hidden Village]] fits this trope exactly to the point where [[Guide Dang It|it actually is almost impossible to find.]]
* [[Hyperspace Arsenal]]: Something Tomba is terribly guilty of, by stocking countless items, including living creatures and objects bigger than him, ''inside of his stomach!''
Line 93:
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Zippo takes the throphy, although there are a few others serving this purpose as well.
* [[Ninja]]: Yan.
* [[Non -Human Sidekick]]: Zippo in the second game. Baron could also count.
* [[Old Master]]: The first game has ''four'' of these! And they go up in age - from 100 to 1,000 to 10,000 to the ''Million-Year-Old Man''.
** And [[Up to Eleven|Kainen is even older.]]
Line 107:
* [[Remixed Level]]: Every level becomes one when it is lifted from the Evil Pig Curse.
* [[Revenge of the Sequel]]
* [[Rose -Haired Girl]]: The mermaids in the first game.
* [[Rube Goldberg Device]]: Win's machine in the second game.
* [[Running On All Fours]]
Line 113:
* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: "It's a fire hammer. It's a hammer with the power of fire."
* [[Shout Out]]: Possibly coincidential, but an early task in the first game requires the rescuing of [[Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs (Literature)|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]].
* [[Slippy Slidey Ice World]]: Kujara Ranch under the Evil Pig Curse in ''2''
* [[Speaking Simlish]]: Arguably in the first game. The second game was fully voiced.
* [[Super Drowning Skills]]: The second game
** Tomba also starts with these in the first game, but after doing a couple of missions they become [[Super Not -Drowning Skills]].
* [[Talking to Himself]]: ALL minor NPCs in the second game are voiced by the same person.
* [[The Chosen One]]: Tomba is said to be this by the Millon Year Old Man.
