-Humba Wumba is a shaman who made her debut in the Banjo-Kazooie series in [[Banjo-Tooie]]. She introduced herself as [[Mumbo Jumbo|Mumbo Jumbo's]] rival, taking up his previous role in [[Banjo-Kazooie]] as the shaman who transformed [[Banjo]] (and [[Kazooie]] eventually), while Mumbo performed powerful spells around the world so Banjo and Kazooie could complete puzzles.

+'''Humba Wumba''' is a recurring supporting character in the [[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|''Banjo-Kazooie'']] series.
-She would wait in her wigwam in Tooie, until the duo needed her magic. Humba's magic required a [[Glowbo]] to work, something Banjo and Kazooie would find around the world, and bring to Humba Wumba. They would then throw it into a pool of water in the middle of the wigwam, and jump in to transform. Once the spell was completed, a [[Glowbo]] wasn't required .
+==Characteristics==
+Humba Wumba is an Indian<ref>"''What is the name of the Indian who changes Banjo into other characters?''" —Gruntilda in the [[Tower of Tragedy Quiz]], ''Banjo-Tooie''</ref> sha-woman who is the rival of [[Mumbo Jumbo]]. She is said to be "determined to expose the shaman for the amateur he really is."<ref>''Banjo-Tooie'' instruction booklet, page 11.</ref>
-These are her transformation spells:
+==Biography==
-*[[Mayahem Temple]] - Stony (a little stone statue), which can shoulder-barge.
+===''Banjo-Tooie''===
-*[[Glitter Gulch Mine]] - Dynamite Detonator, which explodes, causing a slight loss of health.
+In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] can find Humba Wumba in a [[Wumba's Wigwam]] in every world. She takes over [[Mumbo Jumbo]]'s role from the first game, which is to transform Banjo and Kazooie into a certain creature or object for each world, allowing them to complete various tasks. Humba Wumba is first seen in [[Mayahem Temple]], where she introduces herself as the "greatest shaman in all game." Banjo mentions that he and Kazooie have heard that Mumbo was the best, a claim which Humba vehemently opposed. If Mumbo Jumbo enters Wumba's Wigwam, she demands him to leave.
-*[[Witchyworld]] - Van, which is invincible. It can honk a horn which opens a special door.
-*[[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] - Submarine, which can shoot missiles and release sonar blasts.
-*[[Terrydactyland]] - Baby/Daddy T-rex. The Baby T-Rex is much smaller than and is not as feared as Daddy T-rex. The transformation depends on the size of Humba's wigwam. They both roar.
-*[[Grunty Industries]] - A washing machine. It appeared as a joke in [[Banjo-Kazooie]]. It can shoot underwear, and wash clothes for rewards. It's also resistant to lava.
-*[[Hailfire Peaks]] - A snowball. It starts off as a small snowball with low health, gaining health by rolling in the snow and groming bigger and heavier. It can then launch itself to hurt enemies and solve puzzles.
-*[[Cloud Cuckooland]] - Bee. Returning from [[Banjo-Kazooie]], it flies enoromous heights, and can now aslo shoot stingers.
-*[[Isle O' Hags]] - If you give her a giant Glowbo you can transform Kazooie into a [[Dragon]].
-== Notes ==
+Before Banjo and Kazooie can be transformed, they must throw a [[Glowbo]] into a pink magic pool and then walk into it. They can change back to normal by walking into the pool again. Humba Wumba turns Banjo and Kazooie into the following:
-*Humba Wumba, judging from the way she speaks, may be Native-American.
+*[[Stony Banjo|Stony]] ([[Mayahem Temple]])
-*She may be weaker than Mumbo-Jumbo in her magic skills. While Mumbo didn't require anything to perform transformation spells, Humba needed a Glowbo to perform such a task.
+*[[Detonator Banjo|Detonator]] ([[Glitter Gulch Mine]])
-*Her name was in [[Banjo-Kazooie]]: it was one of the multiple-choice answers in [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]] at the end of [[Banjo-Kazooie]].
+*[[Van Banjo|Van]] ([[Witchyworld]])
-*When [[Mumbo Jumbo]] enters her wigwam, Humba Wumba continually nags him and eventually threatens him, to get out.
+*[[Submarine Banjo|Submarine]] ([[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]])
+*[[T-Rex Banjo|Baby and Daddy T-Rex]] ([[Terrydactyland]])
+*[[Washing Machine Banjo|Washing Machine]] ([[Grunty Industries]])
+*[[Snowball Banjo|Snowball]] ([[Hailfire Peaks]])
+*[[Bee Banjo|Bee]] ([[Cloud Cuckooland]])
+Lastly, when Banjo and Kazooie collect a [[Mega Glowbo]], they can take it to Wumba's Wigwam in the [[Isle O' Hags]], where Humba Wumba then transforms Kazooie into a [[Dragon Kazooie|dragon]].
+In the final sequence, after missing out on a celebration party along with Banjo, Kazooie, Mumbo and [[Jamjars]], she gets into an argument with Mumbo and threatens to turn him into a frog. When Banjo and Kazooie invite them to play a game of kickball with [[Gruntilda]]'s head, she and Mumbo appear to bury the hatchet and declare a truce.
+===''Banjo-Pilot''===
+In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', Humba Wumba is a playable character, being unlocked by completing [[Jiggy Cup]] and giving 100 [[Cheato Page]]s to [[Cheato]]. She has low top speed but high handling and acceleration. Humba Wumba is the boss of Jiggy Cup, being fought at the end in the match "Humba Horror." During the battle, when Humba Wumba is flying in front, she sends behind energy spheres that work like [[Ice Egg|Single Blue Ice Egg]]s.
+===''Nuts & Bolts''===
+In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Humba Wumba reappears, although not using magic anymore. In [[Showdown Town]], she sells [[blueprint]]s to Banjo and Kazooie to get money for her "magic recession fund."
+In [[Nutty Acres]], Humba Wumba plays "Mumbo's Long-suffering Wife." In Act 2, she hosts the challenge "Great Balls of Fire," where she asks for Banjo to cool down some fireballs by pushing them into the water, as their smoke is suffocating the coconuts. In Act 5, she hosts the challenge "Old Dog, New Tricks," where she warns Banjo and Kazooie about [[Mr. Patch]]'s return and asks for them to defeat him. In Act 6, she hosts the challenge "Nuts to Go," where the duo needs to take some coconuts to Mumbo so they can get approved for shipping, then take them to the docks.
+In [[LOGBOX 720]], Humba Wumba plays "The Gutsy Girl Gamer." In Act 2, she hosts the challenge "Chips Away," where Banjo and Kazooie need to race some of the console's staff. In Act 4, she hosts the challenge "Red Bear Racing," where the duo needs to win and air race against her. In Act 5, she hosts the challenge "Unstable Hardware," where she needs Banjo to race in a course where all checkpoints are airborn due to a problem caused by [[Klungo]]. In Act 6, she hosts the challenge "Lap Happy," another race with some of the employees.
+In [[Terrarium of Terror]], Humba Wumba plays "The Mooning Conservationist." Acts 1, 2, 3 and 4.
+In Act 1, she hosts the challenge "Bear's Eye View," where she needs her "customized plant-friendly" vehicle to be taken to a specific area so Kazooie can observe a flower and help Humba plan out her next expedition. In Act 2, she hosts the challenge "Intergalactic Binman," where the "1980s space junk" [[Gruntilda]] dumped in the terrarium needs to be ejected through the airlock. In Act 4, she hosts the challenge "No-armed Bandits," where the [[Gruntbot|Ball Brothers]] from a previous [[Jiggy]] game hosted by [[Captain Blubber]] return to cause trouble in the terrarium again.
+In [[L.O.G.'s Lost Challenges]], Humba Wumba plays "The Feisty Femme Fatale." In Act 1, she hosts the challenge "Ben Hurdle," where the [[List of Nuts & Bolts pre-made vehicles#L.O.G.'s Choice vehicles|L.O.G. Trusty Steed]] needs to be used to jump over hurdles while dodging the carboard [[supporting cast|pedestrians]].
+In the ending, Humba Wumba is among the characters at [[Banjo's House]], where she congratulates Banjo and Kazooie for getting ownership of [[Spiral Mountain]].

+*'''Manual profile:''' "''The Isle o' Hags resident magic person, Humba Wumba understandably takes none too kindly to the intrusion of Mumbo Jumbo and his supposed reputation.

+==Trivia==
+*While not appearing in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' herself, Humba Wumba is mentioned by Gruntilda as a incorrect answer in one of the questions of [[Grunty's Furnace Fun]].
+*In the Volume 134 of ''Nintendo Power'', there is a pre-release screenshot of ''Banjo-Tooie'' in which Humba Wumba is wearing a red dress. A [[Mumbo Token]] symbol is found at the bottom-right of the same picture, suggesting that Humba Wumba would have originally accepted Mumbo Tokens instead of Glowbos. The same picture can be seen in the [[Workers' Quarters]] of [[Grunty Industries]] but without the Mumbo Token or dialogue icon.
