''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. After Hamtaro [[CatapultNightmare wakes up from a nightmare]] about a devil-costumed hamster named Spat going around ruining hamsters' relationships, Boss sends him to go find Bijou, whom he later learns he must save. Along the way Hamtaro learns about an influx of broken relationships and soon learns that [[DreamingOfThingsToCome his nightmare about Spat was true]]. And thus Hamtaro and Bijou, after he rescues her, together travel around different areas trying to fix the relationships broken by Spat, aided by an angel-costumed hamster named Harmony, and defeat Spat once and for all.

* RobotBuddy: Ham-O-Matic.

* RememberedICouldFly:
** Spat falls off a bridge even though he has wings, then remembers that he ''can'' fly and leaves unharmed.
** Later subverted when Penelope knocks him off the tower on Sandy Bay Island. He falls into the water and hitches a ride on a fish, never even using his wings.

* NoOSHACompliance: Boo Manor has a contest for couples who make it to the end. However, the place has a trap door leading to a cage below, a funeral parlor that can allow anyone to get locked inside a coffin, and ghosts who kidnap and torture guests. [[SarcasmMode Fun]].

* BratsWithSlingshots: One Hamchat allows Hamtaro to summon a slingshot from nothing.

* ForgotICouldFly:
** Subverted when Spat falls off a bridge even though he has wings, then remembers that he ''can'' fly and leaves unharmed.
** Later played straight when Penelope knocks him off the tower on Sandy Bay Island. He falls into the water and hitches a ride on a fish, never even using his wings.

* ForgotAboutHispowers: Double subverted when Spat falls off a bridge even though he has wings, then remembers that he ''can'' fly and leaves unharmed.

* ScrappyMechanic: In-universe. You meet a hamster in Fun Land who complains about not being allowed to play [=DigDig=] It because only couples are allowed to play.

* 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.]]

* GettingCrapPasttheRadar: In the first area of the game, Bijou gets separated from Hamtaro and ends up finding a hamster named Arnie instead. Bijou just wants help finding Hamtaro, but Arnie brushes her concerns aside and insists that the two of them should "take a break" together in his ''bedroom''. He look suitably alarmed when the "break" is interrupted by his baby brother.

* BlindIdiotTranslation: Presumably the option bizarrely title '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, making it's inclusion as an option even more baffling
* BratsWithSlingshots: One Hamchat gained allowed Hamtaro to summon a slingshot from nothing.

* [[DirtyOldMan Dirty Old Ham]]: Two elderly ghosts in Boo Manor ask Bijou to massage their backs in a creepy manner.
* 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.

* GuideDangIt: 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.]]

** The game auto-saves. There is no clue for this, and the fact that the stats screen has a confusingly titled, and [[BlindIdiotTranslation probably incorrectly translated option know as 'End Game',]] only makes this less apparent.

* ToiletHumor: Go-P returns from Ham-Hams Unite!.

* AmbiguousGender / AmbiguouslyGay: The blue hamster in Sunny Peak has zero feminine TertiarySexualCharacteristics and appears to be male... but he's also clearly in a romantic relationship with the pink hamster, who is referred to as a "he". If you think Blue Hamster falls under the latter trope rather than the former, then Ham-Ham Heartbreak is [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar quite progressive]] for a children's game from 2002.
