Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! is a Game Boy Color game, developed by Pax Softnica and published by Nintendo. It was first released in Japan in 2001, and was later released in the Americas and Europe in 2002 and 2003, respectively. It is the second game in the main Hamtaro video game series, and the first one to be released outside of Japan.

The Japanese version is titled Tottoko Hamutaro 2: Hamuchans Large Gathering ~Dechu (とっとこハム太郎2 ハムちゃんず大集合でちゅ).

Overview[]

Boss sets Hamtaro on a quest to bring back all of the Ham-Hams for a surprise at the Clubhouse. Along the way, Hamtaro needs to learn Ham-Chat, in order to communicate with hamsters all around the town - with a whopping 86 Ham-Chat words in all.

There are six locations to explore: Acorn Shrine, Sunflower Park, the Ruins, Sunflower Elementary, Sky Garden, and Sunflower Market. In each location, there are numerous tasks - all requiring Ham-Chat - that the player needs to finish in order to gather all 12 Ham-Hams. Throughout Hamtaro's journey, he will meet many new faces, obtain the occasional 'this' and 'that', play a few special minigames, and even go on a handful of rescue missions.

Characters[]

Ham-Hams Unite! mainly focuses on the main 15 Ham-Hams:

In addition to the main fifteen Ham-Hams, there are over 70 more characters that can be encountered throughout the game. The majority of them are also hamsters, though there are a few other animal types as well.

Trivia[]

  • Among its many side-characters, two notable hamsters who appear in Ham-Hams Unite! are "Grandma Ham" and "Nurse Ham"; early incarnations of Auntie Viv and Flora, respectively.
    • The appearance of Nurse Ham predates Flora's debut episode by about a year-and-a-half. Technically speaking, Grandma Ham postdates Auntie Viv's debut episode by three months; though due to development times, it is likely that she was created for the game first
  • The game was sold as the sequel to Tottoko Hamutaro: Tomodachi Daisakusen Dechu in Japan, despite both games having very little to do with each other.
  • It was the last Game Boy Color game ever published in Europe
