Mumbo's past is largely a mystery, although he repeatedly states he was the best student at the Handsome Shaman Institute. What is known is that he was a magical instructor of [[Gruntilda]]'s at some point in time. However, despite Mumbo's teachings, Grunty turned to dark magic and transformed Mumbo's head into a skull. | |||
Mumbo first appears in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' as the "best shaman in all game". Found in multiple worlds starting in [[Mumbo's Mountain]], the skull-faced one transformed [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] into native animals (and a plant) in return for [[Mumbo Token]]s, as Mumbo wanted to help the bear and bird beat Grunty to get his face back. Despite Grunty being buried under a large boulder, Mumbo's face remained intact. Mumbo remained a friend of Banjo, while he and Kazooie got into dust-ups. | Mumbo first appears in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' as the "best shaman in all game".

[[Banjo-Tooie|In 2000]], Mumbo was just about to get all of Banjo's cash in a poker game when [[Banjo's House]] started shaking. Being brave, the shaman ran outside to find out what was going on. He found that Grunty had been revived by her two sisters and ran to tell, but Grunty spotted him and destroyed the house and killed Bottles. On the following adventure, Mumbo did some adventuring himself, helping the bear and bird get around by magically altering the environment (such as re-railing a derailed train and making the water in [[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]] breathable). However, Mumbo earned a competitor in the transformation business, Humba Wumba. The two hated each other, each convinced that they were better than the other. In the end, Grunty was beaten once more, but Mumbo's skull face still didn't revert. | [[Banjo-Tooie|In 2000]], Mumbo was just about to get all of Banjo's cash in a poker game when [[Banjo's House]] started shaking.

In the time after ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mumbo's transformation skills went unused. He decided to try his hand at mechanics for a change after getting wind that the next game would be all about vehicles. Finally, [[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts|in 2008]], Banjo and Kazooie showed up at [[Mumbo's Motors]] in [[Showdown Town]] for the first time. Mumbo gladly helped build all of the crazy vehicles the pair dreamed up, although he didn't like playing [[Lord of Games]]' "parts" in the game worlds so much. | In the time after ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mumbo's transformation skills went unused.

This indicates that he has a weakness for a beautiful face—even when he knows full well that it's only skin deep... Mumbo also asks Grunty to come back to Mumbo's skull hut with him. | ||

In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, however, it seems as if Mumbo and Humba are rivals again. Mumbo tells Banjo not to buy things from Humba every so often, signifying that the two are indeed, business rivals. | In Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, however, it seems as if Mumbo and Humba are rivals again.
