'''Mumbo's Skull''' is [[Mumbo Jumbo]]'s hut. In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', it only consists of one room, with a pad that Mumbo transforms you with. However, in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', his hut was remodeled with two floors, with Mumbo at the top. The new skull sometimes changes appearance to match the world's theme. For example, since Glitter Gulch Mine is underground, the skull appears to be made of dirt. Since the skull in [[Witchyworld]] is in the Inferno, it is red and has devil horns. In [[Hailfire Peaks]], since the skull is on the fire side, it has a volcanic appearance. In [[Grunty Industries]], the skull is made of grey metal. And in [[Cloud Cuckooland]], there are two skulls - one red and one blue; depending on which skull is entered first, either skull may contain either a [[Jinjo]] and the world's boss, [[Mingy Jongo]], or a [[Minjo]] and Mumbo himself.

In addition to this, some of the Skulls in Banjo-Tooie have quirks to them. Including the aforementioned double-skulls in Cloud Cuckooland (One hosting the boss fight to Mingy Jongo). In [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] there is a cracked wall which will lead you to Turtle View Cave once the wall is blown up by a [[Grenade Egg]] , A [[Clockwork Kazooie Egg]] or 'zapped' with Mumbo's Zap Stick. In a similar fashion to that of Mumbo's Skull in Jolly Roger's Lagoon, there's also a destroyable wall in the Mumbo's Hut in Hailfire Peaks, however this is less noticable as the destruction of this wall is an unnecessary for 100% completion of this game, whereas the one in Jolly Roger's Lagoon is required. Instead of the cave leading the character to Turtle View Bay (like in Jolly Roger's Lagoon), the Skull in Hailfire Peaks leads to [[Wumba's Wigwam]] on the Icy Side of Hailfire Peaks. If Mumbo enters this cave, a small cutscene is played with [[Humba Wumba]] orders [[Mumbo Jumbo|Mumbo]] to leave.

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', Mumbo's Skull is a small room with a pad in the middle, four torches (with one of them being unlit, allowing it to be climbed) and a throne, where Mumbo Jumbo sits in. The building appears in five worlds: [[Mumbo's Mountain]], [[Bubblegloop Swamp]], [[Freezeezy Peak]], [[Mad Monster Mansion]] and [[Click Clock Wood]], only slightly changing in the third one where it appears visibly frozen. There is also a sign next to the shaman in each world, displaying the number of [[Mumbo Token]]s needed for the transformation.


In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Mumbo no longer lives in a skull. His skull makes a small appearance, as he put a large wooden version (it's flat) of it in front of his [[Mumbo's Motors|mechanic shop]] in [[Showdown Town]]'s town square. His skull also makes an appearance as one of the many objects in [[Banjoland]].

In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', a version of Mumbo's Skull in the past named [[Mumbo's Pad]] is present.

*Depending on the level, the camera may be positioned in a different spot while in the skull. In [[Mumbo's Mountain]], [[Freezeezy Peak]] and [[Click Clock Wood]] (In Winter), the camera is shown from the left, in [[Bubble Gloop Swamp]] and [[Click Clock Wood]] (Excluding Winter), the camera is shown from the right. In [[Mad Monster Mansion]], it's facing from the entrance.
In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mumbo's Skull has been rebuilt by Mumbo Jumbo and is now much bigger, having two floors. In the first one, there is a circle with green light coming out of it and items inside. In the second one, there are two windows and a throne where the shaman sits. The hut's outside appearance is different in most worlds, matching the location's theme. While in [[Mayahem Temple]] the building looks normal, in [[Glitter Gulch Mine]] it is made of dirt, in [[Witchyworld]] it is red and has devil horns, in [[Hailfire Peaks]] it resembles a volcano (and additionally has a breakable wall leading to [[Wumba's Wigwam]]) and in [[Grunty Industries]] it is made of metal.
*Even though only [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] and [[Hailfire Peaks]] have secret passages, evey skull in Banjo-Tooie has the passage added onto it. However, none of the other secret passages actually lead anywhere as they weren't meant to be accessed.
