'''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 is a reference to the fact that canaries were often used to check for gases in coal mines long ago, a tactic that was deemed cruel and ended in the late 1980s.

*A recurring joke with Canary Mary is that her prizes are often wedged in less-than-desirable places, much to the disgust of Kazooie.
