Tomba! is a 1997 action-adventure platform video game developed and published by Whoopee Camp for the PlayStation. It was released in Japan in 1997 and internationally by Sony Computer Entertainment the following year. The game centers on the eponymous feral child as he attempts to recover his grandfather's bracelet from an evil race of anthropomorphic pigs.

Creator Tokuro Fujiwara developed Tomba! after leaving Capcom in 1995, founding Whoopee Camp as director, producer and lead designer. He chose the game's 2D side-scrolling perspective for the format's straightforward nature, and created a non-linear "event" system to differentiate it from other platformers.
