In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Mumbo transforms the duo into various forms. While his spells must stay within a limited distance of the originating world, the transformations make Banjo completely incognito and allow him to explore otherwise inaccessible areas. | In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Mumbo transforms the duo into various forms.

In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mumbo no longer performs the transformations but instead plays a more active role in the game. He is able to stand on a [[Mumbo Pad]] and, provided he has a [[Glowbo]], can perform a spell designed to make things easier for Banjo and Kazooie. While on foot, Mumbo can't do much but jump, swim, and attack with his Zap Stick, and he has less health than Banjo. It is obvious he is extremely skilled in his magic, due to the fact that he is able to revive those who have died (as seen in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' when he revived | In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mumbo no longer performs the transformations but instead plays a more active role in the game.

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Mumbo builds all the odd vehicles that the duo dream up. He also plays parts in various other worlds. | In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Mumbo builds all the odd vehicles that the duo dream up. He also plays parts in various other worlds. | ||

Months later, when Grunty [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge|went back in time]] to prevent Banjo and Kazooie from meeting, Mumbo sent Banjo back in time to fix what she had done. In this time period, Mumbo was less skilled as a transformer, but still allowed Banjo and Kazooie to fix the timeline. | Months later, when Grunty [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge|went back in time]] to prevent Banjo and Kazooie from meeting, Mumbo sent Banjo back in time to fix what she had done.

[[Banjo-Tooie|In 2000]], Mumbo was just about to get all of Banjo's cash in a poker game when [[Banjo's House]] started shaking. Being brave, the shaman ran outside to find out what was going on. He found that Grunty had been revived by her two sisters and ran to tell, but Grunty spotted him and destroyed the house. On the following adventure, Mumbo did some adventuring himself, helping the bear and bird get around by magically altering the environment (such as re-railing a derailed train and making the water in [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] breathable). However, Mumbo earned a competitor in the transformation business, Humba Wumba. The two hated each other, each convinced that they were better than the other. In the end, Grunty was beaten once more, but Mumbo's skull face still didn't revert. | [[Banjo-Tooie|In 2000]], Mumbo was just about to get all of Banjo's cash in a poker game when [[Banjo's House]] started shaking.

In the time after ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mumbo's transformation skills went unused. He decided to try his hand at mechanics for a change after getting wind that the next game would be all about vehicles. Finally, [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts|in 2008]], Banjo and Kazooie showed up at [[Mumbo's Motors]] in [[Showdown Town]] for the first time. Mumbo gladly helped build all of the crazy vehicles the pair dreamed up, although he didn't like playing [[Lord of Games]]' "parts" in the game worlds so much. | In the time after ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mumbo's transformation skills went unused.

Mumbo's ultimate goal is to bring the witch down, as it is the only way to break the curse on him. Mumbo has good reason to resent Gruntilda, since he taught her how to perform magic. | Mumbo's ultimate goal is to bring the witch down, as it is the only way to break the curse on him.

In Banjo-Kazooie, if the player loses their last life and the ending is shown wherein Gruntilda makes herself beautiful by uglifying Banjo's sister, Mumbo -- apparently smitten with Grunty's new appearance -- will suddenly appear and offer her a flower! This indicates that he has a weakness for a beautiful face -- even when he knows full well that it's only skin deep...
