Game Help[edit]
Collect all the canaries on the loose!
Steer clear of the cats! If you grav the broom, you'll be able to chase the cats away for a short period of time.
Mechanics[edit]
The objective of this mini-game is to collect all canaries within the time limit. The "CONTROLLER" buttons can be used to move Sora around. Moving Sora to a space with a canary in it will catch the canary.
In later levels, cats will appear. When Sora is hit by a cat, he will lose a life. In stages with cats, Mickey will appear with a broom either from the start, or after 15 seconds have passed. When Sora moves to the space where Mickey is, he will obtain the broom from Mickey. Touching a cat while holding the broom will make the cat leave for 5 seconds. The broom will disappear after 5 seconds have passed.
When all canaries are collected in a stage, the stage is cleared and the next stage starts.
Origin[edit]
The Wayward Canary is based on the Mickey Mouse short of the same name from 1932. In the short, Mickey gives Minnie a canary. However, the canary has a bunch of babies, who fly around the house, and Mickey tries to catch them. At some point, a cat starts chasing one of the canaries, but Pluto saves it.
