TOMBA PS1 GUIDE SERIES

Clean Dub Name: The series is known as Tombi! in Europe, presumably because 'tomba' is Italian for 'grave'.An early example is Mizuno saying that the Hot Powder and Cold Powder 'boosts damage due to heat or cold', which may cause players not to use them - why would you use an item that makes you take more damage from hot and cold? Actually, it turns out it was just translated badly - they actually make you impervious to damage from heat or cold. The translation for the second game starts to suffer around when you get to the Water Temple, with grammar errors and pronoun trouble here and there.Several menu options and most locations have their English names, despite having very literal meanings, such as 'Phoenix Mountain', being a mountain with a phoenix. One event failed to translate the English word 'find' to Swedish 'finn', which is really bad considering it is the very first event of the game. The Swedish translation for the first game mixed up 'frog' and 'fog', which result in one hint asking the player to 'Bring the fog home'.

'Blind Idiot' Translation: Both games suffer from it at points.

Big Bad: The Evil Pigs who place curses on several areas of the land and collect gold to power their magic.

Badass Adorable: Tomba and Baron the dog.Backtracking: Expect to do a lot of this if you want to get 100% Completion.Anime Hair: Tomba, who is one of the few male characters with a pink hair.The 100% ending for the second game takes this to its literal extreme for getting 100% Completion, you get a tuxedo and Tomba trying it on.The second game gives you new pants and suits (like the flying squirrel outfit) from quests and treasure chests. In the first game, some quests gave you new pants which had different abilities, like moving faster or jumping farther.Tomba! 2: The Evil Swine Return - 1999 (known as Tombi! 2 in the UK and Europe and Tomba! The Wild Adventures in Japan).Two games were released for the PlayStation: Also, the plethora of hidden objectives made this a kind of Platformer- RPG fusion. The game is notable for its quest structure, in which you receive points for every objective completed, instead of just simply going from one point to the next as is the case with many platformers. Tomba must fight the Evil Swine, who have turned the world into a much darker place through the power of their own evil magic, using platforming skills across a fairly large game world.

Tomba!, known as Tombi! in Europe and Ore! Tomba in Japan, is a cult-favorite 2❝ platform-adventure series composed of two games starring a pink-haired jungle boy.
