In each world that Mumbo Jumbo appears in, he can transform Banjo into a different creature or object if he has enough [[Mumbo Token]]s. | |||
*[[Mumbo's Mountain]] - A termite, which can't attack, but can sneak past other termites and can scale steep surfaces. | |||
*[[Bubblegloop Swamp]] - A crocodile which is resistant to (or at least scares away) the piranhas that infest the water, as well as being able to bite. | |||
*[[Freezeezy Peak]] - A walrus, resistant to the icy waters of the area. | |||
*[[Mad Monster Mansion]] - A pumpkin, which bounces around to move, can go into small spaces,and will not be hurt by the thorns on top of the hedges. | |||
**[[Grunty's Lair]] - Mumbo appears inside a small hut near the entrance to Mad Monster Mansion. Here, his purpose is to transform Banjo back to his normal form, which enables him to hit a switch in the room, before being re-transformed into a pumpkin in order to leave. | |||
*[[Click Clock Wood]] - During Spring, Mumbo will offer his services and transform the duo into a bee, which can fly very high altitudes, and can sneak into the Zubbas' hive. | |||
**During Summer, however, it's too hot to perform the spell. | |||
**During Autumn, however, he's too busy raking up leaves. | |||
**During Winter, he's gone on holiday and has gotten a [[Beehive]] to watch over his hut. | |||
His hut is absent from [[Treasure Trove Cove]], [[Clanker's Cavern]], [[Gobi's Valley]] and [[Rusty Bucket Bay]]; as such, those levels don't have transformations. | |||
Very rarely, he mistakenly turns Banjo into a washing machine, before going on to turn him into the correct transformation. Also he mentions he would turn Banjo into a [[T-Rex]] but changes his mind, saying that the transformation is meant for the [[Banjo-Tooie|next game]]. | |||

Sometime during its development, ''Dream'' shifted its development to Nintendo 64. After a few months of development, the team felt that [[Edson]] was a weak character and began searching for a replacement. A rabbit was considered at first before the team decided on a bear, who would become Banjo. The team scrapped ''Dream'' entirely and reworked it into a 2.5D platformer similar to ''[[mariowiki:Donkey Kong Country|Donkey Kong Country]]'', which had a gameplay style more familiar for them. This was the earliest form of ''Banjo-Kazooie'', where Banjo would move along linear path collecting fruit. In the "A Rare Look at Dream" video, [[Gregg Mayles]] called it the "connecting piece" between the ''[[mariowiki:Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' games they developed and the final version of ''Banjo-Kazooie''. Kazooie was created during this phase so that Banjo could perform a double jump. The team designed some more moves that involved both characters.<ref>"The Making of Banjo-Kazooie".

One day, the developers saw an early version of ''[[mariowiki:Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64]]'', making their project looked obsolete in comparison. The project was scrapped again, and the team began a fourth and final attempt at making the game in the style of ''Super Mario 64''. This version would be finalized and released as ''Banjo-Kazooie''.
