Mumbo's Mountain is the first of nine worlds in Gruntilda's Lair which Banjo and Kazooie visit in Banjo-Kazooie. The door to this level is located just to the right of the entrance to the lair, so the player should have no trouble finding it. The puzzle is conveniently located right next to the world's entrance beyond a small fenced area and only requires one Jiggy to complete. This is the first world to introduce Mumbo Jumbo.

Jiggies
- Destroy Conga's Blocks: At Conga's Tree, you must make Conga throw an orange at you while you are on top of one of the orange blocks on the ground. Make him hit all three blocks to obtain a Jiggy.
- Feed Chimpy: Climb up Conga's Tree and grab the orange. Walk over to Chimpy and give him the orange in exchange for a Jiggy. Chimpy will also raise the stump to access the ledges above.
- Defeat Conga: Stand on the top tree platform so you are at equal height with Conga and fire Eggs at him when his guard is down. After 3 hits, he will drop a Jiggy.
- Outside Mumo's Skull: The Jiggy is inside the left eye of Mumbo's Skull. Flap Flip to reach it.
- Destroy the Huts: Destroy the huts in the village with the Beak Buster. The last one destroyed contains a Jiggy.
- Near the Ruins: In the middle of the Stonehenge-like ruins, near the molehill where Bottles teaches you the Talon Trot.
- Feed Juju: Fire eggs into each mouth of the Juju Totem Pole until they all have disappeared and a Jiggy will appear. Be sure to collect the Extra Honeycomb before feeding the last segment!
- Scale the Hill: On the steep hill between the Village and the Entrance area. Can be obtained using the Talon Trot, as the Termite or by jumping down from the top of the hill.
- Climb Ticker's Tower: Transform into a Termite and enter Ticker's Tower. Inside, scale the ledges and webs to reach the top and a Jiggy will be outside at the very top of the tower.

Jinjos
- Blue - On an island in the middle of the lake.

Witch Switch
- Located on the edges near Conga's Tree. Banjo must have already raised the tree stump on which Chimpy is standing (see Jiggy #2). The Jiggy appears at the top of the world entrance in Gruntilda's Lair. Exit the world as the Termite and climb the mountain to get it.

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts
The Stonehenge ruins and the particular slope where it rests are recreated in Nuts & Bolts' third world, Banjoland as its own segment. It is larger here and sits amongst the Kickball Pitch, Golden Goliath and Targitzan on the top of the hill.
Banjoland Info
"Stonehenge. Brought here from Mumbo's Mountain, Banjo-Kazooie's first ever challenge level. L.O.G. has needed to enlarge it slightly and apply new textures to make it look a little less last-last-gen."
Trivia
- Originally, the music for this world was different, but Grant Kirkhope was asked to change it. The original song can be heard in Ticker's Tower.[1]
- Of all of the worlds which feature a transformation in both Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, this is the only one where the transformation can be skipped and still be able to get 100%. Using a combination of very quick jumping and possibly the Beak Buster, both Ticker's Tower and the mountain above the world's entrance can be scaled without the Termite.
- This is the only world that neither a Flight Pad nor Shock Jump Pad can be found. All other worlds have both or at least one of them.
- A recreated version of Mumbo's Mountain was used as a beta level for testing the vehicle mechanics in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.[2]
- This is the only world, besides Spiral Mountain, where Red Feathers cannot be found and one of two worlds where Gold Feathers cannot be found.
