* PlotCoupon: The game tasks the player to collect amethyst gems that serve as power cells to refuel the airplane that got stranded in the island where the kiwi and a friendly pilot are now. The ''Doomsday'' campaign has differently-shaped gems that are instead used to dispel the barrier that blocks the entrance to the final level.

Many neon lights, including some written in Japanese, can be seen, as can various luminescent green orbs that come from the pool of water at the bottom. The level is very tall, being divided into vertical sections that have to be traversed with the help of moving platforms as well as some billboards the kiwi can climb with its beak.

It was conceived as a {{Homage}} to the 3D platformers that were released during the MediaNotes/FifthGenerationOfVideoGameConsoles, particularly ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', ''VideoGame/BanjoKazooie'' and ''VideoGame/SpyroTheDragon''.
It follows the journey of a round, brown-colored kiwi who plans to embark on an adventure around the world, so it boards an airplane alongside an older, experienced parrot beyond the horizon... and then a sea storm causes them to appear adrift in a mysterious island. The parrot tells the kiwi that he'll need some amethyst-colored gems that act as energy cells to refuel the airplane so both can return back home. So the kiwi explores the main regions of the island to look for the necessary amount of gems and help in the airplane's refueling process.
In January 2024, Slactro released a free update for the game, which not only adds an extra story campaign, but also improves the original one by adding story cutscenes, save files and a TimeTrial.
----
!! The game provides examples of:
* FractionalWinningCondition: There are 50 amethyst gems in the game, but only 40 are needed to refuel the main character's airplane and fly back home to finish the adventure.
* GangplankGalleon: The seventh level takes place in a tall pirate island with a big, skull-shaped sculpture; the island is played during night, so several port lamps are lit. After the kiwi climbs the island's top and presses a switch, a massive ship is unveiled; it has some marked targets the kiwi has to hit in order to get a gem. There's also a treasure chest that can be opened after gathering a stray key and unlock another gem.
* InconvenientlyPlacedConveyorBelt: The first desert level and the second coastal one have conveyor belts in various areas, with some of them hanging mid-air and thus increasing the risk for the kiwi to fall down.
* {{Irony}}: The kiwi originally wanted to embark on an adventure around the world. Due to a sea storm, it and the old pirate parrot accompanying him end up being stranded in a remote island. Now the kiwi has to embark on an adventure... so it and its buddy can return home.
* TheLostWoods: The first and second levels take place within a dense, sprawling forest where flora has reclaimed what seemed to be an ancient city (there are some ruins and monuments). There are many large mushrooms that can be used as springs.
