In Tonka City and Tonka Mountain, the player can freely build, demolish, and rebuild structures, assembling elements like doors, windows, rooftops, and decorative items to create cities or resort environments. Tonka Desert centers on clearing land for new roadways and then constructing a tourist town around the completed routes. In the Tonka Quarry, the player digs through the terrain to uncover three hidden pieces of ancient treasures and assembles them once all parts are found.
