Mingy Jongo is the cyborg counterpart of [[Mumbo Jumbo]]. He was inspired by the [[wikipedia:Terminator (character)|Terminator]] from the [[wikipedia:Terminator (franchise)|eponymous film franchise]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ghoulyboy/status/1052642159730421760 Gregg Mayles on Twitter: "Jinjnator was inspired by the Terminator. As was Mingy Jongo. Mr. Fit was a parody of Mr. Motivator" / Twitter] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20220110200151/https://twitter.com/Ghoulyboy/status/1052642159730421760 archive.org])</ref> | |||

In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mingy Jongo | In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', his first appearance, Mingy Jongo is the boss of [[Cloud Cuckooland]], where he is subtitled "Crafty Shaman Impersonator." In that world, 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. | ||
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 starts as soon as Banjo approaches what appears to be a sleeping Mumbo Jumbo.

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. | In ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'', the [[Mumbo's Head]] item actually uses Mingy Jongo's speech icon from ''Banjo-Tooie''.

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Mingy Jongo is mentioned by the [[Lord of Games]] during his [[List of questions from The Six of the Best|quiz]]. In one of the questions, he asks "what was the name of evil fake cyborg Mumbo in ''Banjo-Tooie''," with the right answer being "Mingy Jongo" and the wrong answers being "Mouldy Mango," "Mangy Wango" and "Mungo Klungo." | In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Mingy Jongo is mentioned by the [[Lord of Games]] during his [[List of questions from The Six of the Best|quiz]].

*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. | *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. | *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.

*It is unknown who Mingy Jongo was built by.
