“Bzzarrgh! My elaborate disguise is ruined, revealing my evil cybotic-ness!

”

—Mingy Jongo

, Banjo Tooie

Mingy Jongo is the boss of Cloud Cuckooland and a robot bounty hunter hired to destroy Banjo and Kazooie. In Cloud Cuckooland, there are two Mumbo Skulls; one is blue and one is red. Mingy Jongo resides in the skull that contains a Jinjo, where as Mumbo Jumbo is located in the skull that contains a Minjo. 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, though 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").

Banjo walks up close to the fake Mumbo Jumbo only to be blasted away (which does actually take away one Honeycomb of life) the exit is locked. 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. After a few hits, he will begin immediately teleport away from Banjo during his attacks, stopping every now and then for a couple of seconds, allowing the bear and bird an opportunity to strike at him. After he has been defeated, he will explode and a Jiggy will appear on his seat.

Trivia

• It's possible to die during the cutscene if Banjo approaches him with only one honeycomb.
• Mingy Jongo is the only world boss whose music is not a remix of their world's music. Instead, it is a remix of Mumbo's Skull music.
• If Mingy Jongo is approached while the player is playing as Mumbo Jumbo, Banjo or Kazooie alone, or 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.
• Mingy Jongo's appearance may have been based off of the Terminator series.
• He also parodies The Exorcist as when he is defeated, his robotic head pops off and squeezes green liquid.
• Mingy Jongo and Targitzan are the only two bosses in Banjo Tooie who actually die. All other bosses either fly or float away, or you can talk to them afterward.
• There is a glitch which Mingy Jongo doesn't attack and instead just stands in one place and laughs until Banjo attacks him.
