* [[Minecart Madness]]: One of the [[Scrappy Level|hardest sidequest]] in the second game.
* [[Mood Motif]]: In the second game, the music playing during a conversation or cutscene usually depends on the situation. For example, during a normal situation, peaceful music will play. Also, during a emergency or a serious situation, really frantic music will play.

* [[Mr. Exposition]]: Zippo takes the trophy, although there are a few others serving this purpose as well.

** 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]].

* [[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''.
