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.

In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', the [[Mumbo's Head]] item actually uses Mingy Jongo's speech icon from ''Banjo-Tooie''. Using the item causes all other racers to spin out for a few seconds, and CPU players are unable to obtain this item.

*Mingy Jongo is the only world boss in ''Banjo-Tooie'' whose theme is not a remix of their world's theme, and is instead a remix of the Mumbo's Skull theme.

*It is impossible to fight Mingy Jongo in ''Banjo-Tooie'' as Banjo or Kazooie alone, as Mumbo, or as a transformation, by using a cheating device, even during the replay section, as he is programmed to only wake up when Banjo and Kazooie are together. If the duo are defeated without Mingy waking up, Mumbo's talk icon is used for the quote, "Do you want to play again?," likely because Mumbo's head icon was programmed to play first during the fight.

*In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', an item called [[Mumbo's Head]] closely resembles Mingy Jongo's own head.
*It is unknown who Mingy Jongo was built by. In promotional material for ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', when asked about who created the robot, Mumbo Jumbo answers by saying that he "not know who make it, [[Gruntilda|Grunty]] never own up… maybe it [[Klungo]].
