Canary Mary is skilled at flying despite her frail wings. She is encountered at [[Glitter Gulch Mine]] and later in [[Cloud Cuckooland]], both where she challenges [[Banjo]] and [[Kazooie]] to a few races. In both worlds, before starting their respective first race, Canary Mary fixes a vehicle for Banjo and Kazooie to use during the race, although Canary Mary moves by flying. | Canary Mary is skilled at flying despite her frail wings.

In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Banjo and Kazooie first encounter Canary Mary in Glitter Gulch Mine's [[Canary Cave]]. She tells of how she once had a job of going down to Glitter Gulch Mine to check for poisonous gas. If she died, the location would be deemed unsafe. Canary Mary was later trapped in a cage in Canary Cave and was abandoned. This references to how in the real world, people would send canaries into gold mines to check for gases, a practice which was later banned. | In ''Banjo-Tooie'', Banjo and Kazooie first encounter Canary Mary in Glitter Gulch Mine's [[Canary Cave]].

In the [[Showdown Town]] loading screen, one of [[L.O.G.]]'s randomized quotes has him scoffing at the player while recalling difficulty of Canary Mary's races. She is also mentioned on an [[Info Point]] at [[Banjoland]]'s Glitter Gulch Mine. It states that her races were originally based on control stick rotation, but this was changed when it was found to be incredibly uncomfortable to play. | ||
