Tomba! Special Edition

You play as Tomba, a pink-haired adventurer pursuing the magical pigs who have stolen his grandfather’s bracelet. Travel through colorful 2.5D environments, jumping, biting, and throwing your way past enemies and obstacles.

Explore connected areas that weave between foreground and background, meet characters, and complete quests called events. Many tasks involve finding items, helping characters, or overcoming enemies, and often send you back to places you have already visited.

Finding items and abilities opens up new ways to move through the world and complete further events. This Special Edition adds save-anywhere and rewind options, a choice of soundtrack, and a museum of archival material and interviews.

Players often value the game’s colorful, quirky world and its unusual mix of platforming, exploration, and open-ended quests, with nostalgia adding to the appeal for returning fans. Some also appreciate the save and rewind features, which can make challenging sections less frustrating. Reviews are mixed on this release: recurring complaints include audio bugs, long loading times, and a presentation that some players feel does too little to improve the original.
