-'''Mumbo Jumbo''', or simply known as '''Mumbo''', is a skull-faced shaman and one of the main allies of [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. He has appeared in every ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' game and is experienced in magic. He is voiced by [[Grant Kirkhope]].<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20120209062004/http://www.grantkirkhope.com:80/banjokazooie.html Grant Kirkhope's website (Wayback Machine)]</ref>
+'''Mumbo Jumbo''', or simply '''Mumbo''', is a skull-faced shaman and one of the main supporting characters in the ''[[Banjo-Kazooie (series)|Banjo-Kazooie]]'' series. He first appears in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and has since appeared in every game of the series. Mumbo has a different role in each game, and usually assists [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] with either spells or [[transformation]]s. Mumbo lives inside of a large structure shaped like his head, [[Mumbo's Skull]]. He is voiced by [[Grant Kirkhope]]<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20120209062004/http://www.grantkirkhope.com:80/banjokazooie.html Grant Kirkhope's website] (Wayback Machine)</ref>.
 ==History==
-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.
+===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
+In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Mumbo appears in five worlds, and has his name in the title of the first world, [[Mumbo Mountain]]. In each world that Mumbo appears in, he is found in Mumbo's Skull. If Banjo visits with enough [[Mumbo Token]]s, he can get Mumbo to transform him by standing on a small skull-shaped switch. The player must press {{button|N64|B}} for Mumbo to transform Banjo.
+The five worlds each have their own transformation: [[Termite]] ([[Mumbo's Mountain]), [[Crocodile]] ([[Bubblegloop Swamp]]), [[Walrus]] ([[Freezeezy Peak]]), [[Pumpkin]] ([[Mad Monster Mansion]]), and [[Bee]] ([[Click Clock Wood]]). Occasionally, Mumbo's magic fails, causing him to transform Banjo into a [[Washing Machine]], although he quickly fixes the mistake. Mumbo sometimes mentions that he would transform Banjo into a [[T-Rex]] but changes his mind.
-===''Banjo-Kazooie''===
+In the [[Game Over]] sequence, after Grunty succeeds in transferring [[Tooty]]'s beauty through the [[Beauty Transfer Machine]], Mumbo appears, offering her a flower and to go to Mumbo's Skull with him.
-Mumbo first appears in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'', and is 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.
 ===''Banjo-Tooie''===

+[[File:Mumbo Jumbo B-T.png|thumb|200px|left|Appearance in ''Banjo-Tooie'']]
-In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mumbo has a thinner appearance, has his skull has a circular shape. During the game, 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.
+In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mumbo first appears in the opening sequence of the game, where he is found in Banjo's house playing cards with Banjo, Kazooie, and Bottles. It is noted that Mumbo had most of Banjo's money at that point. When Grunty's sisters drill through to Spiral Mountain, they all feel the large rumbling it causes inside the house, which Mumbo says he will go outside to investigate. He hides behind a rock face not far from where Grunty was buried underground and witnesses her resurrection. Obviously realizing the seriousness of the situation, he runs back to Banjo's house to warn everyone of the impending danger. However, Grunty sees him running back to the house and begins to chase him, shooting spells that narrowly miss him as he runs. He finally does make it back to the house, and warns everyone inside that Grunty is about to blast the entire house with a powerful spell. Everyone evacuates immediately, with the exception of Bottles, who, believing it is another joke at his expense, remains inside. In the morning, he, along with Banjo and Kazooie, witnesses Bottles' charred body stumbling out of the house and collapsing on the ground, at which point he unfortunately dies. He then decides that Grunty must pay for what she has done, and tells Banjo and Kazooie to get after the witch, and that he will meet up with them later. After Banjo and Kazooie have finally defeated Grunty yet again, he shows up at Bottles' house with Banjo, Kazooie, Jamjars, and Wumba prepared for the party. However, they all quickly realize that there will be no party, as Klungo has eaten everything. Mumbo for some reason blames Wumba for this, and after she threatens to turn him into a frog, he says that he'll summon a large golden statue to kick her butt. Eventually, the five of them end up going back to Cauldron Keep, where they play a game of kickball with Grunty's head.
+Mumbo Jumbo was first made a playable character in this game, and thus appears in every level in the game. As his rival Humba Wumba took over his role from the first game, he now has the power to manipulate various objects or creatures throughout the levels, as opposed to turning Banjo and Kazooie into different forms. His magic receives its power from small magical creatures called [[Glowbo]]s, which Banjo and Kazooie must bring him another one of each time they seek out his help. His skull has also been remodeled as well, and now has a second story, accessed by a ramp from the first floor. When Banjo and Kazooie seek out his help, they will need to throw a Glowbo they have collected into Mumbo's bag, and he will then become available for the player to use in that particular level. When he leaves his skull and goes out into the level, he must find and step on a [[Mumbo Pad]], which allows him to cast powerful magic, and can be found throughout the level in varying locations and numbers. When he steps on a Mumbo Pad, he can perform any of the following spells: [[Summon]] ([[Mayahem Temple]]), [[Levitate]] ([[Glitter Gulch Mine]]), [[Power]] ([[Witchyworld]]), [[Sunlight]] ([[Jolly Roger's Lagoon]]), [[Enlarge]] ([[Terrydactyland]]), [[EMP]] ([[Grunty Industries]]), [[Life Force]] ([[Hailfire Peaks]]), [[Rain Dance]] ([[Cloud Cuckooland]]), and [[Heal]] ([[Isle O' Hags]]). Aside from performing a spell, Mumbo cannot do much else other than jump, swim, or attack with his wand. When he is done performing spells for the time being, the player can return him to his skull and put him in his chair. The next time the player requires his assistance, they only have to go talk to him in his skull again. He is also a playable character in multiplayer.
 ===''Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge''===
-In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Mumbo (who witnessed the creation of Mecha Grunty, Gruntilda's new robotic body, by [[Klungo]]) rushes to [[Banjo's House]] to warn Banjo but arrives too late. After Gruntilda kidnaps Kazooie and escapes to the past Mumbo uses his own magic to allow Banjo to follow her to the past and rescue Kazooie.
+In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Mumbo first appears in the opening sequence, where his role is similar to that of ''Banjo-Tooie''{{'}}s. He witnesses [[Klungo]] free Grunty's spirit into the [[Mecha-Grunty]] suit, and he hurries back to [[Banjo's House]] to warn him and Kazooie. After Mecha-Grunty kidnaps Kazooie and goes into the past, Mumbo uses his magic to create a time portal, so that Banjo can follow Grunty into the past and rescue Kazooie. Right as Banjo enters the past, he meets [[Bozzeye]], who mentions that Mumbo sent him a letter telling him about Banjo.
+During Banjo's adventure, he can find Mumbo inside his skull (renamed to Mumbo's Pad). The younger Mumbo is training to become a witch doctor. There are four transformations &mdash; [[Mouse]], [[Cliff]], [[Octopus]], and [[Tank]] &mdash; which can be unlocked with [[Mumbo Totem]]s. Unlike ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Mumbo allows Banjo to select his transformation, regardless of the world, provided that Banjo had already unlocked that transformation. If Banjo is transformed, he has the option to change his transformation or return to normal. While Banjo is transformed, the game limits where he can go. If Banjo crosses a boundary, a Mumbo icon with an X is displayed on-screen, and then Banjo is automatically taken back to a place within the boundaries.
-While in the past Banjo meets a younger version of Mumbo who is still training to become a witch doctor. Whenever Banjo finds a [[Mumbo Totem]] (after a boss fight) he can bring it to Mumbo and it unlocks a new transformation for Banjo to use. Mumbo also uses his magic to bring Banjo back to the present at the end of the game (though weather of not it's successful depends on weather the player got the good or bad ending).
+In the game's ending, Mumbo uses his magic to return Banjo into the present.
 ===''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts''===
-In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', instead of being involved with magic, Mumbo is instead a vehicle mechanic. 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.

Sometimes, Mumbo tells Banjo not to buy things from Humba, suggesting that the two are business rivals.
 ==General information==
+===Physical appearance===
+Mumbo has pink skin and wears a yellow skull, which has three red feathers on top. In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', Mumbo is larger than both Banjo and Kazooie. In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mumbo's size was made both thinner and shorter, around the size of Banjo, and his skull is more rounded.
 ===Personality===
-Mumbo generally likes helping people out and has a very strong loyalty streak - he's never stopped being Banjo's friend, while he's been equally permanent as [[Humba Wumba]]'s rival. Humba and Mumbo seem to dislike each other, as when you go into her Wigwam as Mumbo she kicks you out.
+Mumbo is generally friendly, although he has animosity toward Humba Wumba, as both regard themselves to be more powerful than the other. He always speaks in the third person, and does not refer to characters by their name. Like many characters, Mumbo refers to Banjo and Kazooie as "bear" and "bird" respectively. He sometimes jokes about what he transforms Banjo into.
-English does not appear to be Mumbo Jumbo's first language; he always speaks in the third person and doesn't always refer to people by their name. For instance, he often refers to Banjo and Kazooie as "bear" and "bird" respectively.
-Mumbo has strong pride in his magic abilities and frequently praises himself when his spells go right. He also seems to have some sense of humor, as he occasionally makes jokes about what he transforms Banjo into.
-===Abilities===
-In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Mumbo transforms the duo into various forms. While his spells must stay within a limited distance of the originating world, the transformations make Banjo completely incognito and allow him to explore otherwise inaccessible areas.
-In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mumbo no longer performs the transformations but instead plays a more active role in the game. By giving Mumbo a [[Glowbo]] the player can take control of him. Mumbo is able to stand on a [[Mumbo Pad]] to perform a spell designed to make things easier for Banjo and Kazooie. While on foot, Mumbo can't do much but jump, swim, and attack with his Zap Stick, and he has one less health than Banjo. It is obvious he is extremely skilled in his magic, due to the fact that he is able to revive those who have died (as seen in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'' when he revived the [[Aliens]]) and even send a person back in time (as seen in ''Grunty's Revenge'').
-In ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts]]'', Mumbo builds all the odd vehicles that the duo dream up. He also plays parts in various other worlds.
-==Relationships==
-;Banjo
-Mumbo befriends Banjo and helps him on his quest because of their mutual hate for [[Gruntilda]]. Despite that he barely ever refers to him by name and often calls him "bear".
-;Kazooie
-Mumbo is another target of Kazooie's impulsive judgments, being insulted for his appearance and being nicknamed "Mumbo Dumbo" and other things by her. He tends to ignore her. Similar to Humba, Mumbo always calls Kazooie "bird", with the exception of the Dragon Kazooie transformation.
-;Gruntilda
-Mumbo's ultimate goal is to bring the witch down, as it is the only way to break the curse on him. Mumbo has good reason to resent Gruntilda, since he taught her how to perform magic.
-In ''Banjo-Kazooie'', if the player loses their last life or simply quits the game before saving Tooty and the ending is shown wherein Gruntilda makes herself beautiful by uglifying Banjo's sister, Mumbo—apparently smitten with Grunty's new appearance—will suddenly appear and offer her a flower! 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.
-;Humba Wumba
-The two shamans are rivals at first, both believing that they are more powerful than the other. At the end of ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', the two seemed to have buried the hatchet after Gruntilda's defeat, and they both agree that it's fun to play ball using Gruntilda's head.
-In ''Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts'', Mumbo and Humba appear to be rivals again. Mumbo tells Banjo not to buy things from Humba every so often, signifying that the two are indeed, business rivals.
+===Speech===
+Mumbo's two main phrases are "Eekum Bokum" and "Oomenacka". His speech is made up of cut-up samples of [[Grant Kirkhope]]'s voice that would later be used on the background theme of Mayahem Temple in ''Banjo-Tooie'', in which Kirkhope is actually saying "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough", a famous English football chant.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t70l-9n1rCQ Special Guest Grant Kirkhope - Guest Grumps]".

+*According to [[Ed Bryan]], Mumbo's design originated from the Jinjo body with a skull and feathers stuck onto it.

-*In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', in the unused [[Rain Dance]] tune, he says "Mumbo Jumbo!", which is the first time he's vocally said his name (as in, not through text). The second time is in ''[[Banjo-Pilot]]'' as he is selected.

-*Mumbo is also speculated to be a [[Grublin]], primarily due to the beta version of the Grublins being blue with feathered skull masks similar to Mumbo's skull head. Other similarities in the final product (such as the build, grass skirt, and red feathers on the head) also help support this.
