Mayahem Temple

Mayahem Temple is the first level in Banjo-Tooie. Based off the ancient Mayan civilization of Central America, it is a large, lush, forested jungle set around a large stone temple, known as Targitzan's Temple built to honor the great god Targitzan. Common sights to see are quicksand pits, ancient stone buildings, and large stadium dedicated to Mayan Kickball. Mayahem Temple is certainly not devoid of life since it serves as a home to the Stonies, a race of statuesque stone beings, and Moggies, a race of primitive and savage tigers. Bovina and Chief Bloatazin also live in settlements not far away from Targitzan's temple.

Other points of interest include the Jade Snake Grove, where Ssslumber the snake lazily rests atop a pyramid guarding a Jiggy, the Prison Compound, where Dilberta is trapped, and the Code Room, where the Banjo and Kazooie can access a variety of different cheat codes that Cheato gives to them.

Mayahem Temple is about twice the size of Mumbo's Mountain, the first world of Banjo-Kazooie. Mayahem Temple is also where Banjo and Kazooie first meet Humba Wumba. The entrance to Mayahem Temple is in the Wooded Hollow, located right beside Master Jiggywiggy's temple.

Abilities

 * Egg Aim
 * Breegull Blaster
 * Grip Grab

Jiggies

 * 1) Saving Bovina's Farm: Bovina's corn field is being terrorized by Globbles. Once Banjo and Kazooie rid her crops of the pests, Bovina presents them with a Jiggy.
 * 2) Jade Snake Grove's Quicksand: A Jiggy is found on a small piece of land surrounded by quicksand, and can only be obtained as the Golden Goliath.
 * 3) Ssslumber's Treasure: Ssslumber is sleeping on top of the Code Room pyramid in the Jade Snake Grove, guarding his treasure, a Jiggy. The top of the pyramid is covered in sticks, so the duo must tip-toe as not to wake Ssslumber.
 * 4) Mayan Kickball Tournament: The prize for winning the Mayan Kickball Tournament is a Jiggy, however it is only open to Stonies. Thus, only Stony Banjo can enter it.
 * 5) Recovering Targitzan's Sacred Relic: Chief Bloatazin is in disarray, having lost a priceless golden totem, and Banjo and Kazooie need to find and reclaim it. To get it back the duo must climb to the top of the exterior of the Treasure Chamber to a doorway that leads to Terrydactyland. It is revealed that the Unga Bunga Tribe has stolen the relic and keep it heavily guarded in their cave. Upon reuniting Bloatazin with his relic he gives the duo a Jiggy.
 * 6) Atop Targitzan's Temple: On top of the highest point of Mayahem Temple is a Jiggy. It is perched atop the alter on Targitzan's Temple, and can be reached by using a Flight Pad.
 * 7) Targitzan's Slightly Sacred Chamber: Inside Targitzan's Temple there is a chamber containing a Jiggy, which can only be opened by collecting 10 totems found throughout the area.
 * 8) Defeating Targitzan: Access to the "Really Sacred Chamber" where Targitzan, the boss of Mayahem Temple, resides is not granted until 20 of the 25 jade totems have been obtained (the remaining five disappear). Once Banjo and Kazooie enter, they must defeat Targitzan to win his Jiggy.
 * 9) Prison Compound's Quicksand: More quicksand is found beside the Prison Compound, however it is inaccessible as the Golden Goliath, thus Banjo and Kazooie must use Wading Boots to cross the sea of quicksand.
 * 10) Prison Compound's Pillars: First Banjo and Kazooie must destroy the large boulder blocking entrance to the underground Columns Vault. Once the boulder is removed the duo must then solve a small puzzle which involves moving a Jiggy from the highest above-ground column to the shortest column by interacting with the columns found below-ground. This Jiggy can also be obtained using a Clockwork Kazooie Egg. You can also Double-Jump your way over to it; it's tricky, but possible if you're persistent.

Trivia

 * Mayahem Temple is a track in Banjo-Pilot. The huge skull doors and Targitzan's Temple Challenge can be seen in the background.
 * The stage's name is likely a portmanteau of the words "Maya", an ancient civilization known for their ingenuity, and "Mayhem", which is another word for chaos.
 * Grant Kirkhope, the composer for many Rare games, states in an episode of the popular Internet comedy Let's Play series Game Grumps that there is a well-known English football chant in the background music for Mayahem Temple, recited in a clipped and almost unrecognizable style: "Come and have a go, if you think you're hard enough."
 * The sample for this phrase, excepting the independent word "oomenacka", is what is cut up and used for the voice of Mumbo Jumbo in the game.
 * According to Kirkhope, Mayahem Temple was originally supposed to be in Banjo-Kazooie, but was instead "booted to the second game".
