Tomba!

Side-scrolling platformer where you play as Tomba, a wild boy chasing down pigs who stole his grandfather's bangle. You jump between foreground and background planes, pounce on enemies to briefly ride them, then fling them away. Progress hinges on a mission system—130 events total, many interconnected—that awards adventure points for completed tasks. These points unlock food, treasure, new areas, and story info. You'll use projectile weapons and climb surfaces to navigate levels. The event structure means you're constantly juggling objectives rather than running straight left-to-right. Missions range from simple fetch quests to multi-step chains that open up the map. It's built for players who like ticking off checklists and backtracking with new tools.
