'''Ticker's Tower''', otherwise known as '''The Termite Mound''', is a large tower found in [[Mumbo's Mountain]]. The only way to reach the top is by using [[Termite Banjo|the termite transformation]] to climb the slopes that are too smooth too climb with the [[Talon Trot]]. The residents of the mound are [[Ticker]]s. There are Notes and a [[Mumbo Token]] inside the mound, and there is a [[Jiggy]] and a [[Extra Life|Golden Banjo Statue]] at the top of the tower.
'''Ticker's Tower''' is a location in ''[[Banjo-Kazooie]]''.
