==Spells==
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]].

==Music==
The music was composed by [[Grant Kirkhope]]. A [[Banjo-Kazooie: The Soundtrack|CD soundtrack]] was exclusively sold to Nintendo Power subscribers or a pre-order bonus at Best Buy stores. According to an interview with OC Remix, Kirkhope stated that ''Banjo-Kazooie'' was his favourite work that he composed.

==Trivia==
*On December 29, 2020, both ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''[[rarewiki:Blast Corps|Blast Corps]]'' were mistakenly listed as upcoming games for the {{wp|Wii U}} Virtual Console, both having a set release date of December 30, 2020. The error was fixed that same day, and both titles were removed from the list.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/schedule/index.html Nintendo's Japanese release schedule] (Retrieved on December 30, 2020).
