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-Kazooie]]'' and ''[[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge]]'', Mumbo transforms the duo into various forms.

In ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', Mumbo no longer performs the transformations but instead plays a more active role in the game. He is able to stand on a [[Mumbo Pad]] and, provided he has a [[Glowbo]], can 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 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-Tooie]]'', Mumbo no longer performs the transformations but instead plays a more active role in the game.

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".

Two months later, when Grunty [[Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge|went back in time]] to prevent Banjo and Kazooie from meeting, Mumbo sent Banjo back in time to fix what she had done. In this time period, Mumbo was less skilled as a transformer, but still allowed Banjo and Kazooie to fix the timeline. | |||
[[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.

**Interestingly, designer Ed Bryan has said that Mumbo's design originated from the Jinjo body with a skull and feathers stuck onto it. Despite this, Bryan still holds that Mumbo is "not actually a Jinjo." <ref>http://youtu.be/kq-fpnnGzyU</ref> | **Interestingly, designer Ed Bryan has said that Mumbo's design originated from the Jinjo body with a skull and feathers stuck onto it.

*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. | *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.
