'''Canary Mary''', as her name suggests, is an avowedly insane canary, and a minor character in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', who is best known for her races, which are considered infamously difficult and frustrating. She is first encountered in [[Glitter Gulch Mine]], where she is released from a toxic cave by [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]]. 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 cart. Following suit, winning this race a first time will earn the duo a Jiggy, and winning twice will earn them another Cheato Page. | '''Canary Mary''', as her name suggests, is an avowedly insane canary, and a minor character in ''[[Banjo-Tooie]]'', who is best known for her races, which are considered infamously difficult and frustrating.

After being freed from her toxic prison by Banjo and Kazooie, Canary Mary states her wings need a stretch. She fixes the mine cart by the entrance of the mine and challenges the pair to a quick race for a bit of practice. By beating her a first time, Banjo and Kazooie win a [[Jiggy]]. She also awards the duo a [[Cheato Page]] if they manage to beat her again, although the second time around she flies faster having regained her composure and wing strength during the first race. Upon beating her a second time in [[Glitter Gulch Mine]], She flies off, claiming that she'll soon fly high above the clouds. | After being freed from her toxic prison by Banjo and Kazooie, Canary Mary states her wings need a stretch.

Once again she can be raced for a Jiggy and a Cheato Page. These races are played out in a flying clockwork mouse rather than a mine cart and take place in the sky. These races are also noticeably harder and longer than the first two races, and are regarded by many fans to be amongst the hardest challenges in the game. | ||

Kazooie wishes to race her for that too, but Mary declines saying that they've already taken all of her possessions and would most likely win again, leaving her hungry. | ||
