A Tomba! point-of-purchase (POP) kit[1] was produced to market the first Tomba game in retail video game stores.
This specific kit contained the following:
- Three small cardboard stands featuring character art and a sticker with the projected first sale date of December 11 (note: ultimately, the game would not be for sale until December 25). Removing the sticker reveals a post-release text.
- A card with a pre-release text on one side, and post-release text on the other.
- A window sticker of a pig snout, the logo, and the text "ブッタマゲー！" which means roughly "Pig-tacular!"[2] It has an opening for holding the aforementioned card.
- An instructional leaflet with text and illustrations.
