—A Mumbo Token, Banjo-Kazooie

A Mumbo Token is a collectible item found throughout the worlds in Banjo-Kazooie. They resemble Mumbo's skull in a silver tint.

Gruntilda stole these small, silver skulls from Mumbo Jumbo and scattered them throughout various worlds and in her lair. Banjo and Kazooie must collect them and return them to Mumbo Jumbo. In exchange, Mumbo will offer his services by transforming them into an object that matches the particular world's theme. A sign inside Mumbo's Skull will dictate how many tokens each transformation spell costs, and once a spell has been paid for (in increments of five), the pair can use it as many times as they need. There are a total of 115 throughout the whole game, though only 75 are needed.

In Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, Banjo would receive small, skull-shaped pieces of magic from defeating Mecha-Grunty and Klungo at various mini-boss fights throughout the game. Mumbo would accept these as a new totem for him in exchange for transforming Banjo into a new animal. Because the game takes place in the past, Mumbo Totems are believed to be the original form of Mumbo Tokens.

Trivia

• In earlier versions of Banjo-Tooie, Humba Wumba would have accepted Mumbo Tokens rather than Glowbos.
• Mumbo Tokens are referred to as Shaman's Tokens in Grunty's Furnace Fun, when the tokens are a subject of one of the questions.
• There are actually 116 Mumbo Tokens in the game instead of 115. However, two Mumbo Tokens in Mad Monster Mansion (one inside Loggo and the other in the cellar) erroneously have the same flag number, meaning that Banjo obtains one of them, the other one disappears.
