3	''Kinectimals'' is a game for the Platform/Xbox360. The player takes on the role of an adventurer/explorer who visits a remote, mysterious island.
4	There, the player discovers its inhabitants — a bizarre lemur/fairy hybrid named "Bumbles" and a bunch of [[RidiculouslyCuteCritter great cat cubs]]. Bumbles soon tells the player of "Felis Aurum," a giant cat statue made out of gold, said to be hidden somewhere on the island, and he, the player and one of the cubs go off to explore.

6	A sequel/expansion pack was released; ''Kinectimals Now With Bears''. In this, you arrive at Mira Island, [[spoiler: the island shown at the end of the first game]]. And with a new guide, "Lina" you explore the island solving "Fiddler’s Quest."

10	!!This video game contains examples of:
11
12	* AllAnimalsAreDogs: The big cats don't ''quite'' act like dogs, they act more like a cross between a dog, a domestic cat, and a human baby.
13	* AnimalsNotToScale: All of the cubs are roughly the same size; needless to say, a tiger cub, would, for example, in real life be much larger than say, a bobcat kitten of the same age.
14	* ArtisticLicenseBiology:
15	** The first game features red-ruffed lemurs in one of the environments… that lack ruffs.
16	** The sequel features a red panda with a much shorter tail than it would realistically have.
17	* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The game states that the saber-toothed cat (no specific genus or species given) was the ancestor of all living cats. This is inaccurate because Machairodontinae, the subfamily that saber-toothed cats belonged to, diverged from the lineage that would to Felinae and Pantherinae (the two subfamilies of living cats) and was ancestral to neither.
18	%%* CuteKitten: ... [[{{Understatement}} Yes.]]
19	* PantheraAwesome: The developers could've gone with just regular ol' kittens. They didn't.
20	* RuleOfCute: What's that, you say? Lions, Tigers, Panthers, Cheetahs and Leopards don't have the same habitat, aren't the same size, and don't act like housecats? Who cares!
21	* SequelHook: [[spoiler: You, Bumbles, and your cub discover another island at the end of the game.]]
22	** [[spoiler: More subtle are the statues showing three different kinds of animal heads - a large cat head, a bear head, and a wolf head.]]
23	* ShoutOut: Your kitty can drive a [[Franchise/{{Halo}} Warthog or Banshee]]. D'awwwwwwww.
24	* TheReveal: Felis Aurum [[spoiler: Is not a giant gold cat statue, but the world's last Sabertooth Tiger!]]
