ZonicTHedgehog plays Tomba! - Part 4 of 17


In this entry, we do more things in Charity Square and also check out the Mushroom Forest for the first time.


The flowers that leap at you are indeed enemies. They can only be attacked when they are opened up and moving about.

The mushrooms will either make you laugh or cry when you press Square, and the flowers will laugh or cry with you. The orange mushrooms make you cry, while the purple ones make you laugh. The huge flowers in the background will also laugh and cry with you. 

The plain light brown mushroom is a Healing Mushroom. This will get rid of the laughing and/or crying effect on Tomba.

This place has bottomless pits, so it is best to be careful.

If you talk to the dwarf on the far right end of Mushroom Forest, you'll find out that he is practicing to become a famous actor who can make people laugh and cry, but he is not sure how to express emotions. This triggers the "The World's Greatest Smile!" objective. Go get a purple mushroom, go back to the dwarf you just talked to, get close enough and press Square to laugh. This will complete the objective and give you another one, "The World's Greatest Pout?", if you talk to the dwarf again. Pick up and orange mushroom, go back to the dwarf, cry by pressing Square, and you'll complete this objective as well. The dwarf will then leave, but not before telling you that the Dwarf Elder went towards the mountain and that he wanted to see you about something, and that you should go right away. From here, you can go right to Phoenix Mountain.

If you go back to the dwarf guarding the Leaf Slider at Charity Square under the influence of a Crying Mushroom, you'll open up passage to the Leaf Slider and clear the "Leaf Slider" objective. The Dwarf will then leave, and you will not only be able to access the Leaf Slider, but you can also go further to the left and pick up the third and last Crystal Ball to clear the "Lost and Found" objective.

If you use the Leaf Slider, you'll get the Blue Powder at the end and end up in another part of the Mushroom Forest. You'll be able to raise the platforms with the purple Laughing Mushrooms and lower them with the orange Crying Mushrooms. All this, and the flowers still have a creepy version of a Daffy Duck laugh. If you can go high enough, you can find an extra life.

The red chests cannot be opened yet, much like all the other chests that don't look like the wooden 100-Year-Old Chests.

The Blue Powder can be used to turn the flower enemies in the Mushroom Forest blue. If you throw it into a normal red flower enemy, you'll create a mushroom. If you grab it and throw it, Tomba will turn black with white hair and pants. This will make you much faster and jump higher. This effect lasts until you lose a life.

You can climb up the rock wall near the entrance to the Mushroom Forest from the Watch Tower area to open up a 100-Year-Old Chest and get Charity Wings. If you do that, however, you'll have to fight off some purple jellyfish enemies called Purple Bonsugees that fly around. The nearby sign will tell you about them. You can jump on them and throw them, but they will recover. You can throw one into the other, but the other will fly away immediately unless you jump onto both of them and blind them. When that happens, you can throw one into the other as they are both blindand cause both of them to fall down. They will recover and fly around again, but if you can blind them and throw one into the other three times, you'll complete the "Monster Hunt" objective and you can get the Rise and Shine Powder. The Rise and Shine Powder is an unusual powder that can make any bud bloom.

By going to Phoenix Mountain, you'll get the "A Stormy Pig Bag" objective. The Dwarf Elder will tell you that the feeling you have just felt the evil spirit inhabiting Phoenix Mountain, which proves that the mountain has been cast under an evil spell. He will go on to tell you that this feeling is proof that the place you are in is under a spell, and to look for an Evil Pig Bag in those kinds of places. You'll then clear the "To Phoenix Mountain..." objective.
