Canary Mary, as her name suggests, is an elderly canary. She is first encountered in Banjo-Tooie in Glitter Gulch Mine, where she is released by Banjo and Kazooie. 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 once again be raced, but this time in a flying clockwork mouse rather than a mine kart. Winning once will earn the duo another Jiggy, and winning twice will earn another Cheato Page.

Her races are considered very difficult and frustrating, and are also mentioned at the Glitter Gulch Mine exhibit in Banjoland.
