In this entry, we head up Phoenix Mountain for the healing herbs, check out the Lava Caves for the first time, ride the Phoenix and ends up in a new village.
When you go up Phoenix Mountain, you'll not only find out there is a fierce wind that will push you to the right, but you'll meet two men in cowboy hats talk about the Phoenix, who can take you to the jungle. Unfortunately, it has been a long time since the Phoenix has been known as "The Master of the Skies." Speaking of which, that's the name of the objective you'll unlock here. The men inte hats will then leave, but not before telling you to get down from the mountain. The save sign here will then tell you that this is Stormy Mountain.
As you go up the mountain, there will be springs that launch you upwards and plants that will spit you out. The spring-like monsters are cyan-colored and are hidden, but you can figure out where they are.
Along the way, you'll find Charles the Monkey, who is stuck on a ceiling. If you jump into him, you'll free him, but his pants will be torn and you'll have to find his spare pair of pants, which have unfortunately become lost in the wind. This triggers another objective, "Charles' Pants."
Shortly past Charles is the entrance to the next section. If you go underneath this entrance, you'll find a 100-Year-Old Chest containing the Lunch Box.
There are a series of new things in the second section of this area. The spiked enemies will hurt if you move into them in any way, and some of the plants act as teleporters if you leap into them. It is possible to teleported back to the bottom of the mountain this way, which is great in case you want to clear any earlier missions with things that you find here.
The gray door with the wicked-looking smile on it triggers another new objective: "Smile!" You'll need to reach this door while under the effect of a Laughing Mushroom to open it. Once that happens, hold Up to face the door and press the attack button to laugh to clear the objective, open the door and get Charity Wings. There is also another plain door above that one, and if you try to enter it, you'll get yet another objective: "When the Wind Dies Down..."
Past the two doors, assuming you use the Animal Dash to make a running jump over the nearby Tomba-eating plant, is the Healing Herbs. You'll need these for Baron in the Dwarf Village. Go back to the Dwarf Village, use the Healing Herbs at the doctor to heal Baron's wounds and complete "Healing Herbs For Baron." Baron will now need some good food and rest, and the doctor will recommend Fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. This will trigger another objective: "Delicious Knowledge Fruit."
Use the Animal Dash to get past the set of four plants. From here, you'll need to make a series of jump to the right with the aid of the fierce mountain winds. If you can make these jumps, you can reach the Phoenix. Interestingly, there is a door below the first platform, and if you go in it, you'l go straight above the first platform to a door with a large key hole. If you try to enter the door, you'll trigger another objective: "A Large Key Hole!"
There is another platform in the second section to the left of the four flowers leading to a guy in a blue hat with a shovel. If you talk to him, he will tell you he is digging a tunnel and that nobody can dig as well as him. This triggers yet another objective: "The Famous Digger." The digger will then tell you that he will be digging another tunnel somewhere when he is finished.
When you reach the Phoenix, you'll reach the end of the second section. To the right is a pirate, but he is guarding the area. He will tell you that there is a 1,000-Year-Old Chest under here with something special inside, and that the chest is to be guarded until the person with the 1,000-Year-Old Key shows up to open it. The pirate then mentions that the 1,000-Year-Old Man has helped him plenty of times and that he is trying to return the favor. This will trigger another objective "A Precious Treasure Chest?"
If you go into the cave near him, you'll enter a cave with a big fire pit inside and get another objective: "The Fire Pig Bag." The fire will keep you from going further here unless you can put it out. The guy in the cowboy hat here will give you Charles' Pants. From here, you can go back to Charles and give his pants back. The blue chest here is a 1,000-Year-Old Chest.
If you climb down the ladder below where the pirate is, you'll find the chest he was talking about and another cave entrance. If you take it, you'll go back to the bottom of the mountain and clear the "Where did I come from?" objective.
If you give Charles' Pants back to Charles, you'll get the Funky Parasol. This parasol opens when you jump and will allow you to make even longer, glide-like jumps when equipped, but this is one item you shouldn't keep equipped all the time, as it can make some jumps harder than they need to be. You'll slow down your fall with the parasol, and you can increase the speed of your descent with Down on the D-Pad.
Back at the Phoenix, go all the way to the left to open a 100-Year-Old Chest and get the Dashing Pants, a white pair of pants which let Tomba move faster.
If you talk to the guy in the cowboy hat near the Phoenix, you'll find out that the Phoenix won't be able to take you to the jungle because the storms here have made it so the Phoenix cannot find anything to eat. You can jump on the Phoenix, but the Phoenix will falter in the cutscene that you get and you'll fall off the Phoenix and land in a new area: Baccus Village. You'll also get a new objective: "The Mouse Pig Bag."
By talking to the people here, you'll find out that the people here used to be human but are now mice in hats thanks to a spell by the Evil Pigs. One of the villagers will ask you to bring back some Cheese. If you can bring back ten pieces of Cheese to the person in the hut east of the save point, you'll get a reward. This opens up another objective: "Some Cheese Please."
There is a road to Baccus Lake, but the person guarding the road tells you not to go there unless you really need to if you talk to them. This opens up another objective: "Road to Baccus Lake."
The house north of the road to the lake contains the two guys in hats you met earlier. If you talk to them, they will ask you to find a fruit in the Mushroom Forest called the Fruit of Death, a fruit that kills all the other plants in the forest, and get rid of it. This triggers the "Death Fruit Juice" objective. You'll also get the Weed Killer, which makes it easier to remove the five Fruits of Death, which have a jack-o-lantern-like face.
All the way to the north is a house with a bulletin board. If you read the bulletin board, you'll learn about the Red Fortune Teller, but you won't be able to do anything here yet.
The south exit is blocked by two people. They will tell you about the Bonsugee in the Mushroom Forest, which are the little jellyfish-like enemies we saw earlier in the forest.
The central area of the village is the Central Park and Town Hall area. Inside the house is the Elder, and to the left of him is a bulletin board. Read the bulletin board to read about a real baby mouse being missing. This triggers the "Where's The Baby Mouse?" objective.
