I once thought Mumbo was a Jinjo to. But now I'm not to sure. I think Rare is sort of ignoring the fact Mumbo weres a mask, and are making it seem the skull on Mumbo's head is Mumbo's head and not a mask.

It's like Strong Bad from Homestarrunner.com, it's not a mask, "it's-a ma face"

His skin does looks a bit sewn on with those huge creases when he bends his arms. But in the showdown town walkthrough he's introduced as a pretty normal character. I wouldn't put it past Rare though to have him turn out to be a jinjo and to of tied the real mumbo up somewhere.

I thought this theory was absolutely silly in 2001 and I still think it's silly to this day.

I think Rare may have denied it in an old Scribes but to be honest I can't be arsed to look through 10 years worth of letters pages on archive.org to find out.

I don't believe it to be true, but I've always accepted that they do look similar and that it is possible with the whole "Grunty changed his face until she is defeated" thing. Except Mumbo is too big... but so was Jingaling...

Yeah, but knowing the BK universe, Mumbo was just a purple guy, and if Grunty is ultimately defeated in NAB, he'll probably choose to have a skull for a face in the end. Therefore, this theory is a bit...what's the word...a euphemism for "pointless".

Didn't Rare drop the whole "Mumbo Curse" thing after BK? It has never been addressed. Well then again, Grunty hasn't been 100% defeated.

I always thought, and stuck to the "Grunty cursed him." saying in B-K. But I think he's going to remain that way, because he would look strange and unrecognizable without the look we're all used to.

Also, his eye sockets in the skull look uneven from the angle given.

Never played it though.

I've beaten it, but I don't honestly remember anything about that game... Wasn't very memorable.

no, i thought they just ignored the whole curse thing starting with that game because they mistakenly made him have a skull for a face too far in the past...

I have proof that he isn't.

He can walk around in Banjo-Tooie.

Take that!

hey, some jinjos have no choice but to sit there whining for help.

i mean, i wouldnt want to get eaten by snacker if i were the yellow jinjo in rusty bucket bay.

then again, the blue one in treasure trove cove kinda disproves my argument.

mumbos just not a jinjo, simple as that.
