Yeah, everybody proposes these crazy methods involving waving your thumb joints or spoons or sticks or rubber bands over the button a certain way, but they never helped me beat the third Canary Mary race in Banjo-Tooie. At least the fourth race has some strategy to it, but my brother only beat the third race once on some sort of fluke. That'll probably be our only 100% file for that game. There should be a law or something against button-mashing challenges.
Well, maybe if enough complaints are sent to Nintendo or something, like how the control-stick rotating minigames in the first Mario Party had tons of children with hurt palms. I don't recall Hudson ever making any more minigames like that for the other 7 Parties.
