'''Mingy Jongo''' is the boss of [[Cloud Cuckooland]]. He is the only world boss whose music is not a remix of their [[Cloud Cuckooland|world]]'s music, instead being a remix of [[Mumbo's Skull]] music. [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] should be careful when helping [[Mumbo Jumbo]], as he may really be Mingy Jongo in disguise.
'''Mingy Jongo''', subtitled "Crafty Shaman Impersonator", is the cyborg counterpart of [[Mumbo Jumbo]] and the boss of [[Cloud Cuckooland]] in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]''. He was created and hired by [[Gruntilda]] to destroy [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. Mingy Jongo is similar to [[Minjo]]s in that both are villains who resemble another character. The word "mingy" means to be mean and stingy.


==Appearance==
In Cloud Cuckooland, there are two [[Mumbo Skull]]s; one is blue and one is red. The skull that Mingy Jongo and Mumbo Jumbo are each found in are randomized for each playthrough. The two Mumbo Skulls can be distinguished in that Mumbo's one has a Minjo, while Mingy's one has a [[Jinjo]] and does not have lit torches. Mingy Jongo is always found sleeping at first, unlike Mumbo, who is only asleep when Banjo and Kazooie first encounter him near the start of the game. Lastly, when Banjo and Kazooie enter Mingy's skull prior to defeating him, no on-screen text of the location name is displayed. However, if Banjo and Kazooie re-enter Mingy's skull after defeating him, the text "Mumbo's Skull" is briefly displayed, despite the location being a replica.
Mingy Jongo is a robot bounty hunter who resembles Mumbo Jumbo, created by [[Gruntilda]] and hired by her to destroy Banjo and Kazooie. In Cloud Cuckooland, there are two [[Mumbo Skull]]s; one is blue and one is red. Mingy Jongo resides in the skull that contains a [[Jinjo]], whereas Mumbo Jumbo is located in the skull that contains a [[Minjo]]. Between the name and being a robotic impersonation, Mingy Jongo bears many resemblances to a Minjo. Ironically, the real Jinjo will appear in Mingy's skull, while the Minjo will appear in the Mumbo's skull. The torches in his skull are not lit, which is different from all the real Mumbo Skulls that do have lit torches. This is because the top of the torches is where he can appear to attack. The skulls that Mingy Jongo and Mumbo Jumbo are in in Cloud Cukooland are randomized each time the game is played. For example, if Mingy is found in the pink skull in one saved game file, he might be found in the blue skull in another. His appearance may have been based on the ''[[wikipedia:Terminator (series)|Terminator series]]''.


==Combat==
==Combat==
Mingy will be sleeping when the player first enters his skull, which is a hint that it is his skull as the real Mumbo will only be sleeping when the player enters his skull at the beginning of the game, but afterward, he's always awake.
The boss fight starts as soon as Banjo approaches what appears to be a sleeping Mumbo Jumbo. As Mumbo wakes up, he says he has a surprise for Banjo (referring to him by name rather than "bear" like the real Mumbo Jumbo does). Banjo goes close to the fake Mumbo Jumbo, only to be blasted away, taking away one [[Honeycomb]]. The fake Mumbo's eyes turn bright red, and he introduces himself as Mingy Jongo. He seals off the stairs so that Banjo and Kazooie cannot escape. Because the battle takes place on the upper floor of Mingy Jongo's skull, it is the smallest battle arena of the game.


The boss fight automatically starts as soon as Banjo approaches what appears to be a sleeping Mumbo Jumbo. As Mumbo wakes up, he says he has a surprise for the bear and bird; however, Banjo doesn't seem to notice the difference in Mumbo's speech (the fake Mumbo introduces himself by saying "Hello Banjo", which is odd as the real Mumbo never refers to Banjo and Kazooie by name but always calls them "bear" and "bird", respectively).
During the battle, Mingy Jongo attacks by creating a series of fast-paced energy bolts from his zap stick. If the bolts get close to Banjo, they can home in on him. The more damage Mingy Jongo takes, the more his robotic form is revealed, similar to the {{wp|Terminator (character)|Terminator}}. After four hits, Mingy Jongo starts to teleport away from Banjo during his attacks. Every so often, both abilities short out, and Mingy Jongo tries to recharge, giving Banjo and Kazooie a chance to strike him.


Banjo walks up close to the fake Mumbo Jumbo, only to be blasted away, which actually takes one [[Honeycomb]] of life, and the exit is locked. It is possible to get defeated during the cutscene if Banjo approaches him with only one honeycomb. As Banjo and Kazooie attack him, most of his Mumbo skin comes off to reveal a shiny silver robot with evil, red eyes. He attacks with a long-range bolt spell, which can home in on Banjo if it gets close enough. After four hits, he will begin to immediately teleport away from Banjo during his attacks, stopping after every fourth attack for a couple of seconds, allowing the bear and bird an opportunity to strike at him. After he has been defeated, he will explode—making him the only boss in the game to actually die, never to be seen again—and a [[Jiggy]] will appear on his chair.
Upon being defeated, Mingy Jongo announces that his chances of beating Banjo are "minimal", his head pops off, causing his body to spout a green fluid, and he explodes. A [[Jiggy]] then appears on Mingy Jongo's chair.
 
If the player enter's Mingy's skull prior to defeating him, no text appears on the screen, which is something that usually happens when the player enters an area. If the player reenters this skull after defeating him, the text "Mumbo's Skull" will show up, despite it not actually being Mumbo's real skull and just an evil replica of one.
 
It is impossible to fight Mingy Jongo as Banjo or Kazooie alone, as Mumbo, or as a transformation, by using a Gameshark Code, even during the replay section, as he is only programmed to wake up to Banjo and Kazooie together, but not for everyone else. If the player is defeated without Mingy waking up, Mumbo's talk icon will be used for when he asks "Do you want to play again?", likely because Mumbo's head icon was programmed to play first during the fight. Moreover, if Mingy Jongo is approached while the player is playing as Mumbo Jumbo, Banjo or Kazooie alone, or [[Bee Banjo|the Bee transformation]], he will not wake up and, despite being asleep, will cause damage to the player when touched. The same applies if you have lost to him, in which he will stand in front of his chair laughing until Banjo and Kazooie arrive.
 
If the player uses a Gameshark code to get Banjo by himself into this boss fight, Banjo will act as if Kazooie is there and the player can do most moves as if Kazooie is still there except for the Egg Aim, Beak Buster, and Flip Flap. Regardless, Mingy still will not wake up.

It may also be in reference to [[Mingella]]'s nickname (which could also stem from the slang word ''ming''), signifying that Gruntilda has built him. Also, Mingy Jongo's name begins with the same letters as Mumbo Jumbo (Mumbo and Mingy both begin with M, and Jumbo and Jongo both begin with J).

—Mingy Jongo, Banjo-Tooie

Mingy Jongo, subtitled "Crafty Shaman Impersonator", is the cyborg counterpart of Mumbo Jumbo and the boss of Cloud Cuckooland in Banjo-Tooie. He was created and hired by Gruntilda to destroy Banjo and Kazooie. Mingy Jongo is similar to Minjos in that both are villains who resemble another character. The word "mingy" means to be mean and stingy.

In Cloud Cuckooland, there are two Mumbo Skulls; one is blue and one is red. The skull that Mingy Jongo and Mumbo Jumbo are each found in are randomized for each playthrough. The two Mumbo Skulls can be distinguished in that Mumbo's one has a Minjo, while Mingy's one has a Jinjo and does not have lit torches. Mingy Jongo is always found sleeping at first, unlike Mumbo, who is only asleep when Banjo and Kazooie first encounter him near the start of the game. Lastly, when Banjo and Kazooie enter Mingy's skull prior to defeating him, no on-screen text of the location name is displayed. However, if Banjo and Kazooie re-enter Mingy's skull after defeating him, the text "Mumbo's Skull" is briefly displayed, despite the location being a replica.

Combat

The boss fight starts as soon as Banjo approaches what appears to be a sleeping Mumbo Jumbo. As Mumbo wakes up, he says he has a surprise for Banjo (referring to him by name rather than "bear" like the real Mumbo Jumbo does). Banjo goes close to the fake Mumbo Jumbo, only to be blasted away, taking away one Honeycomb. The fake Mumbo's eyes turn bright red, and he introduces himself as Mingy Jongo. He seals off the stairs so that Banjo and Kazooie cannot escape. Because the battle takes place on the upper floor of Mingy Jongo's skull, it is the smallest battle arena of the game.

During the battle, Mingy Jongo attacks by creating a series of fast-paced energy bolts from his zap stick. If the bolts get close to Banjo, they can home in on him. The more damage Mingy Jongo takes, the more his robotic form is revealed, similar to the Terminator. After four hits, Mingy Jongo starts to teleport away from Banjo during his attacks. Every so often, both abilities short out, and Mingy Jongo tries to recharge, giving Banjo and Kazooie a chance to strike him.

Upon being defeated, Mingy Jongo announces that his chances of beating Banjo are "minimal", his head pops off, causing his body to spout a green fluid, and he explodes. A Jiggy then appears on Mingy Jongo's chair.
