The Wayward Canary is a Classic Kingdom mini-game in Kingdom Hearts III. In this game, Sora has to catch canaries.

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.
