**Smooth Moves Sloth** is one of the Linkimals that was released in 2019.

## Physical Appearance

Smooth Moves Sloth is a light brown sloth with a tan colored face. It has black eyebrows, a light pink nose, a black mouth and its eyes are black and white. Brown markings are present around the sloth's eyes, and "fur" surrounds the lower third of its face. A "tuft of hair" is on top of its head.

The sloth has soft, colorful arms which have stripes of yellow-green, green, teal, blue and mauve on them from top to bottom. Its right arm has a white square, circle and triangle printed on it with the letters "ABC" inside of them respectively, and its left arm has the white numbers "123" printed on it. The "A" is mauve, the "B" is teal and the "C" is green. On the ends of the arms are three dark brown claws that appear to be made of felt.

In the center of the sloth's belly is a teal-bordered light-up circle with a "Fisher-Price" logo in the center which has four lights in it. Around the front of the sloth's body, near the light-up circle, are sculpted "fur" details.

On top of the sloth's feet are two buttons used to activate it. The left button is green and it has three white music notes printed on it, and the right button is orange and it has the white text "ABC 123" printed on it. Below these buttons are sculpted claws.

One can see from looking at the back of the toy that the sloth has a patch of sculpted "fur" on the back of its head and a sculpted tail. The speaker holes are next to its tail.

## Features and Functions

The sloth is activated by pushing either button.

If activated by the green button after turning it on, the activation sound plays, then the sloth says "Hey! What's up?", then it laughs and says "Let's sing!", but will not subsequently sing. Pushing the button again causes it to sing "Hello Friends". This button activates sung songs and musical tunes.

If activated by the orange button after turning it on, the activation sound plays, then the sloth says "ABC, 123! Time to play and learn with me!". This button activates learning content and the games.

Throughout most, if not all, of its routines, the sloth swings its head back and forth and brings its soft hands together like its "clapping" to the songs. The motor has two speeds: fast and slow.

The box claims that it plays 85+ songs, sounds, tunes and phrases in total.

### Games

The user can play 3 games with the sloth: "Sloth Says". "Freeze Dance" or "Color Catch".

"Sloth Says" has the sloth instructing you to do various actions, set to music; "Freeze Dance" is self-explanatory; and "Color Catch" has the sloth tell you to push its foot to "catch" a color. "Sloth Says" has a couple versions heard on separate presses of the button, while "Freeze Dance" has two versions, both with differing end phrases.

## Interactivity with Other Linkimals

Like the other Linkimals, Smooth Moves Sloth can communicate with other Linkimals. It can sing "Hello Friends" and "Colorful Friends" with them, it can say phrases not heard when you play with it on its own, and you unlock the roll call sequence before "Hello Friends".

During some of the sloth's sung songs, a Linkimal would emit either instrument sounds or "sing" along to the songs.

In the "Color Catch" game, the sloth sometimes says "Hey! That's my favorite color!" then asks "What's your favorite color?". A Linkimal would respond by saying their favorite color, or a phrase expressing their desire of their favorite color.
