Graphical differences

Inventory icons

Hmmm...
To do:
Check for more items with different icons, some might be more subtle.

Several items in this demo use icons that are not found in the retail versions. Most of these items are normally unobtainable in this demo.

Gameplay Differences

Evil Pig Robes

  • Equipping any of the Evil Pig Robes and using the special attack will cause Tomba to raise his arms and shoot a ball of fire upwards. This does not appear to damage any enemies.
  • Mini Tomba is able to wear every Evil Pig Robe. In retail, Mini Tomba can only wear the Evil Earth Pig Robe.

Full Pot of Life

The green chest near the Water Pig's door contains a full Pot of Life. This is replaced with a 1/2 Pot of Life in retail versions.

Tomba2 Demo Pot of Life.png

Fisherman Rescues Tomba

Falling into the water without the Swimming Pig Suit would normally cause Tomba to drown. In this demo however, falling into the water right after crossing the net bridge at the Waterfall of Heavens will cause a fisherman to appear out of nowhere to fish Tomba out of the water.

Invisible Tomba

The Clear Fruit (known as Solid Fruit in this demo) can be used to toggle Tomba's invisibility state. In retail it can only be used to turn Tomba visible again.

Apples

Gold and green apples can be acquired through editing the game's memory. They heal 3 and 4 health respectively and do not exist in retail versions.
It is likely that they would have appeared naturally later in the game, past the part where the demo ends.
