Mayahem Temple

Overview

Mayahem Temple is the first main level in Banjo-Tooie. The name is no doubt derived from the words "Maya(n)" and "Mayhem". It is styled like an ancient civilization, complete with overgrown temples and torch lighting. The level is built around a massive temple, with the path winding around to the top of the level. A seminal soundtrack accompanies your adventures, in Mayahem Temple.

Characters and Crossovers

Mumbo Jumbo

- In this level, Mumbo uses his magic to resurrect a giant gold statue. You control the statue and have the ability to run fast and break down barriers by kicking with your foot. It takes a lot of elbow grease to keep those 2,000 year old joints running though, so you better hurry.

Humba Wumba

- Humba transforms you into a stony in this level, complete with backpack and shorts. You are able to talk to other stonies, as well as play in the kickball tournament, while in this form.

Jamjars

- In this level, you learn your first moves from Jamjars. These include:
Grip Grab - Ability to hang on ledges
Egg Aiming - Better egg aiming
Breegull Blaster - Allow you to enter into First-Person, using Kazooie as a gun that fires eggs.

Enemies

Moggies - The standard enemy for the level. They wield clubs and shields, and make a rough, almost cat-like noise when spotting you.
Sput Sput - These silent sentries keep watch over the temple. They shoot darts at anyone who gets too close. Nailing them between the eyes will make them less watchful.
Dragunda - As in other swamp parts, the swamp monster bites anyone who dares wade into the muck. It is invincible, so you better bring some boots.
Snapdragon - These creatures camp around ledges that Banjo uses to grab onto. Get close, wait for them to snap, and peck its brains out.
Flies - Relatively harmless, except to crops. They fly around and buzz. One well placed egg with serve as excellent extermination.

Boss - Targitzan

The boss of Mayahem Temple. He is the god of dart-shooting. With many body-parts conditioned to dart-shooting, you'll need to hit the targets effectively to bring this totem to the ground.
