Zzz... (yawn) Ah? Who enter Mumbo's skull? Wait... You not bear or bird. Who you?
Anyway, me Mumbo Jumbo. Best shaman in all game. Well, in all Banjo-Kazooie, at least. In game, Mumbo's face turned into skull by evil witch Grunty. Mumbo help bear and bird defeat Grunty by transforming into animals with Mumbo magic.
It not only time Mumbo help bear or bird, however. Me help duo once again in Banjo-Tooie, but Mumbo get out of skull and actually help for once. Transformation duties taken over by lesser shaman Humba Wumba.
Mumbo help bear and bird in third adventure, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, only this time, Mumbo not shaman anymore. Instead, Mumbo help bear and bird fix cars. Why Mumbo mechanic instead of shaman? Mumbo not know. Ask Lord of Games for that.
Mumbo also appeared as spirit in 5th Smash Game. Mumbo can boost magic attacks for not-quite-defenseless princesses, heroes like Keyblade boy, green-haired goddess, masked thief, and unfortunately One-Winged Angel (who Mumbo think he already overpowered as is).
No relation to English wizard
