Mumbo's Mountain is the first level in Banjo-Kazooie. It takes place in a mountainous jungle area featuring a tribal village. It features a tall termite tower known as Ticker's Tower, a structure resembling the Template:W, a small river in the lowest area (with a wooden bridge over it), and hills with short platforms. Mumbo's Mountain is the first level with Mumbo's Hut. The level boss is Conga, who is standing atop an orange tree.

The entrance to Mumbo's Mountain is located just to the right of the entrance to Gruntilda's Lair. The Jigsaw Picture is located right next to the entrance beyond a small fenced area. Only one Jiggy is needed to fill it in.

There are three molehills in the level where Bottles teaches Talon Trot, Beak Buster, and Egg Firing respectively.

Jiggies

No. Official title (Player's Guide) Description
1 In a Shaman's Eye The first Jiggy is in the right eye socket of Mumbo's Hut. Banjo and Kazooie can reach it by performing a Flap Flip.
2 Crash the Party The second Jiggy is contained within a small hut around the Juju totem. Banjo and Kazooie must perform Beak Buster to release the Jiggy.
3 Run for the Ruins On a small platform centered inside the Stonehenge-like structure.
4 The Way of the Trot At the start and to the right is a steep slope with platforms. The fourth Jiggy is floating above one of the platforms, and it can be reached via Talon Trot or as Termite Banjo.
5 Orange Crush There are three tiles depicting an orange that surround Conga's orange. Banjo must walk on a tile for Conga to throw an orange on it. When Conga throws an orange, Banjo must quickly move out of the way to avoid being hit. After doing this two more times, a Jiggy appears nearby.
6 Bear-ing Gifts Banjo must climb up the orange tree, collect an orange and walk over to Chimpy with it. He takes the orange from Banjo and leaves a Jiggy behind. Chimpy goes off the stump, causing it to raise slightly and allowing Banjo and Kazooie to reach the higher ledges with eggs and the Witch Switch.
7 Gorilla Warfare After collecting a Jiggy from Chimpy, Banjo and Kazooie must Flap Flip to a tree stump platform, It is straight across from Conga, who is standing on an orange tree around the same height. From the platform, Kazooie must fire seven eggs at Conga. After doing so, a Jiggy drops from the tree and on the ground.
8 Termite Transformation As a termite, Banjo must climb up the interior of Ticker's Tower. The exit is at the top, and it leads to the very top of to Ticker's Tower, which a Jiggy hovers above slightly.
9 Shooting from the Lip Kazooie must fire an egg into the mouth of each Juju segment. The Juju spins slightly faster each time a segment breaks away. After Kazooie fires an egg into all four segments, a Jiggy is revealed.
10 The Jinjos Five Banjo and Kazooie must find all five Jinjos.

“Stonehenge. Brought here from Mumbo's Mountain, Banjo-Kazooie's first ever challenge level. L.O.G. has needed to enlarge it slightly and apply new textures to make it look a little less last-last-gen.”
Banjoland description

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, the Stonehenge-like structure and the slope that it rests on were recreated for the Banjoland world. It has a larger appearance and sits among the Kickball Pitch, Golden Goliath and Targitzan on the top of the hill.

Trivia

  • The theme that plays in Ticker's Tower was originally the theme for Mumbo's Mountain itself.[2]
  • Mumbo's Mountain is the only level that neither has a Flight Pad nor a Shock Jump Pad. By extension, it is the only level to not have any Red Feathers, and one of two levels with no Gold Feathers.
  • A recreated version of Mumbo's Mountain was used as a test level in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts for testing the vehicle mechanics.[3]
