The Giga Pets Explorer can be plugged into a television, enabling the user to have their mini-pet pair up with a dog, a panda, or a monkey, onscreen. These animals have the ability to dig for items buried under blue flowers. They have emotions and feelings such as hunger and exhaustion. As with real animals, these on-screen pets require attention and care. They can also learn up to three tricks which are different depending on the animal you choose.
