Elite Beat Agents is a game for the Nintendo DS, the basic premise of which is that various people have scenarios where they need help (girl needs to win boyfriend, pirate needs to discover gold, etc.), and the Men-In-Black-style Agents are dispatched to inspire the people by dancing. You, as the gameplayer, tap your stylus to the beats of the songs that play (YMCA, Material Girl, Sk8er Boi, etc.), which gets harder as the games go along.

As you get further into the game, bonus stages are unlocked. One of these, to the tune ABC by the Jackson Five, features a cat named Max, who is asked by a mother to watch over the baby while she's out. If he keeps the baby from trouble, he'll get a fish. Of course, the baby IMMEDIATELY escapes the house. And where does he go? Why, he ends up on a construction site! With I-beams! And dangerous thumping blades! The cat must save him from killing himself!

I imagine the creators were quite familiar with Tot Watchers, Cat Feud, Skyscraper Caper, and the like. :tomcat::jerry:
