History VideoGame / HamtaroHamHamHeartbreak

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Presumably, the 'End Game' was supposed to be called 'Save Game'. However upon selecting, it neither ends the game nor saves it, but rather takes you back to the title screen.

* ItemCrafting: Gems from rocks can be taken to the Accessory Shop to be turned into jewelry for dress-up.

** There's the [[Franchise/PowerRangers Ham]] [[FranchiseSuperSentai Rangers]], composed of Ham Red, Ham Blue, Ham Yellow, Ham Green and Ham Pink.

* AmusementPark: Fun Land (known as [[EdibleThemeNaming Candy Land]] in the Japanese version) is a hamster-sized place full of rides and minigames, though Spat tries his best to turn it into an AmusementParkOfDoom where only miseery and despair happens.

''Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak'' is an adventure game for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance, developed by Pax Softnica and published by Nintendo based on the ''Anime/{{Hamtaro}}'' franchise, and the official sequel to ''VideoGame/HamtaroHamHamsUnite''. Unlike its prequel, which was just about rounding up all of your fellow Ham-Hams, ''Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak'' had a more in-depth plot.

* SoloSequence: Bijou is forced to operate on her own what Hamtaro falls down a trap door in Boo Manor. This is made more disconcerting given that the elevators in the area demand at least two people to reach the buttons, trapping her.

* MortonsFork: Using Tinglie on the soccer players when you're tasked with giving one of them a love note. No matter how many times you try, the one you pick will never have the blue tail. This can be averted after learning the ham chat Thump-P.

%%* BigFancyCastle: Spat Tower.

* AmusementPark: Fun Land (known as Candy Land in the Japanese version) is a hamster-sized place full of rides and minigames, though Spat tries his best to turn it into an AmusementParkOfDoom where only miseery and despair happens.

* ItemGet: Hamtaro and Bijou replicate the "triumphantly hold hands above their heads when finding an item" from the previous game, but this is taken further when pulling the word from the pedestal in Sunny Peak Mine, having a special animation that specifically references ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''.

* PortraitPaintingPeephole: Boo Manor has a painting with eyehole-openings through which somebody (whether it's spat or a ghost) creepily follows you.

* GravityIsAHarshMistress: There are quite a few times where Spat either walks off or is pushed off a ledge, and each time he spends a moment gloating or griping before noticing the drop below, after which gravity comes into play, though luckily for him he has wings to fly with.

* FerrisWheelDateMoment: To repair one couple's love, Hamtaro and Bijou must follow a couple onto a Ferris wheel and give the nervous man hints on what he should tell his female friend.
** The protagonists can even ride on one after the completion of the level, with Bijou commenting about how high they are, etc.

** Also, one section of the game requires finding a hidden door on an inconspicuous wall.
* GravityIsAHarshMistress: THere are quite a few times where Spat either walks off or is pushed off a ledge, and each time he spends a moment gloating or griping before noticing the drop below, after which gravity comes into play, though luckily for him he has wings to fly with.

* PracticalCurrency: Sunflower seeds, which .

* TheMaze: The caves in Sunny Peak operate as a series of homogenous looking passages, which isn't actually that unnavigable by the burrowing rodents that you play as, but the location of a certain character's home can only be found by taking a certain cardinal path.

* ThePowerOfLove: Your main weapon against Spat. Fixing/building relationships between hamsters fills up your "love meter," which helps you progress.
** In Sunny Peak, you defeat Spat by [[spoiler:asking to be friends with him, which repulses him so much that he accidentally falls off a bridge.]]

!!Tropes:

** In order to win the Class A dancing contest, the player must use specific Ham-Chat words. [[spoiler: This is important in order to complete your Ham-Ham Dictionary.]]

* HeroStage:Show: This game has the Ham Rangers. In order to see a show as it's announced, Hamtaro and Bijou have to go around Fun Land and talk to five brightly-colored hamsters. [[spoiler:However, one major part focuses on the actor playing Ham-Red having stage fright, forcing Hamtaro and Bijou to find a replacement in a depressed ghost who wants her son back. After that one show, the mother and son ghosts reunite while the son is in awe about his mother being Ham-Red.]]

* SpotTheImpostor: At one point, Spat first masquerades as Pashmina and coldly rips Penelope's blanket, then masquerades as Penelope and jumps all over Pashmina's scarf, causing Penelope and Pashmina to each think the other one is angry with them. Eventually, Spat settles on masquerading as Pashmina. How does this predicament get solved? [[spoiler: The same way Solomon solved the riddle of the two mothers: Hamtaro and Bijou propose that both Pashminas tug really hard on Penelope... which ''hurts'' Penelope, so the real Pashmina is the one who ''lets go first'' to stop hurting her.]]

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: At one point, Spat gives one of these. "And I definitely wasn’t thinking about stealing Seedric’s acorn cap to sell it! No, I wasn’t. It never crossed my mind."

** In Sunny Peak, you defeat Spat by [[spoiler: asking to be friends with him, which repulses him so much that he accidentally falls off a bridge.]]
