Canary Mary

Canary Mary appears to be a cross between a human and a bird (specifically, a canary, as her name would suggest). She is first encountered in Banjo-Tooie in Glitter Gulch Mine, where she can be freed from a cage. Afterwards, the player can race against her in a mine cart game to earn a Jiggy, and then another time for a Cheato Page. She reappears in Cloud Cuckooland, where she can again be raced against, this time on a flying mouse. Winning once will earn another Jiggy, and winning twice will earn another Cheato Page. The races are very difficult and can be very frustrating.

History
Canary Mary states she was used to check mines for poisonus gas. If she died, it was unsafe. After discovering she was dying from the gas in a certain cave, her masters just left her there to die.

Summary
After being freed by Banjo and Kazooie, Canary Mary's wings need a stretch. She fixes the mine cart and races the pair, losing and giving them a Jiggy in addition to a Cheato Page on their second victory. She flies off, claiming to fly among the clouds...

She appears again to be raced twice on a clockwork mouse in Cloud Cuckooland. The first race against her is much harder and fans have complained of the difficulty for a long time. Some think it's impossible without using the start button to rest or even using a Turbo Controller. However the second race if the player goes at the right speed (which is in fact fairly slow) Canary Mary will fly slower then you allowing you to easily beat her.

After her last defeat she leaves for her dinner, a worm sandwich.
