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.

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.

Watch on YouTube

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.
