Does anyone know just how many calories Kangoo Jumps can burn?

If u do a 60 min excersise with a high intensity you could burn a max of 1200 kcal

No, it would be 10-15 cal per minute max, IMO.

If you are an elite athlete going really hard - for normal people, no chance.

The "can" part depends on intensity, duration, weight and fitness....
Maybe pick a running speed that feels the intensity same to you?

How would you get a kangaroo to sit still while you jump over it?

They're pretty much just a novelty exercise -- a pricey gimmick. They're good for people who need motivation or who just want to try something new. I can't imagine that they're a particularly effective form of low-impact exercise, though -- especially since they won't let your ankles flex in a more normal way.

They're certainly better than walking. If you want all the bouncy action though, I think that a trampoline or a rebounder would be more effective. They'd allow for more natural motions and a fuller body workout.

Those look like the adult version of Moon Shoes. Looks like fun. lol. I would use "Aerobics, General" as the exercise entry. Your calories burned would be dictated by your MFP stats and time spent working out.
