* HelpImStuck: One of the outcomes to bring Dexter and Howdy in the clubhouse is the latter falls into a cash register and getting stuck. After you talk to Dexter, he will help Howdy out.

* AndIMustScream: One scenario to get Dexter and Howdy in the clubhouse is the former getting frozen alive in a freezer.

* PublicDomainSoundtrack: Two Ham Jams: "Bolero" is, [[CaptainObvious well, "Bolero"]] and "Postman's Post" is based on "Csikós Post."

The story revolves around you playing as Hamtaro helping the Clubhouse leader Boss round up all of the other Ham-Hams for a surprise. Along the way, Hamtaro learns new words to add to his Ham-Chat dictionary, which are used to solve puzzles needed to get the Ham-Hams to the Clubhouse or acquire other words.

* FetchQuest: A few of them, including one in which you must buy a thermos, have it fixed by Panda, bring it to a tea vendor so he can fill it with tea and give it to the NPCRoadblock in Sunflower Elementary to get through a certain passageway.
* FirstTown: The Clubhouse, which is where most of the minigames and where you bring all of the other Ham-Hams (and is where you will most likely get the last few words at the end of the game).

* ForcedTutorial: A small one: Boss teaches you the four main Ham-Chat words--Hamha, Hifhif, Tack-Q, and Digdig--before you can start playing (thankfully, though, he just writes all of the other words you start with in the dictionary without making you go through them, too).
* GottaCatchThemAll: The Ham-Chat words, jams, stars (after beating the game), and clothing (which requires you to collect all of the rocks to get the last clothes shop).
* GreenHillZone: Acorn Shrine, the first real level, which is mostly forest and grasslands.
* HelloInsertNameHere: You can name Hamtaro something else at the beginning of the game. Odd, since unlike in most games with this trope Hamtaro is a canonical character.
* HintSystem: Hint on request: Talk to Snoozer sleeping in the main room of the Clubhouse and he will give you hints on where to find other Ham-Hams.
* HonestJohnsDealership: There are two merchants: one of them sells you a garbage "Tear Essence" and later jacks-up the price for an item you need to progress (and in the Sunflower Market he doesn't like taking "No-P" for an answer); he also has an apprentice who offers to teach you Ham-Chat words for sunflower seeds. [[spoiler: Unfortunately, he only sells you incorrect versions of words you already know.]]
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: The pink and blue hamsters you hook up in Acorn Shrine (see MatchMakerQuest). The tiny girl specifically says she wants a guy that's "Mega-Q," while the huge guy specifically asks for a girl that's "Teenie."
* IntrepidReporter: In the Sunflower Market (including a newspaper hanging on the back wall of the room you encounter her in that changes to read whatever her newest story is). [[spoiler: Later on you help her find her purse and she in return helps you rescue Dexter or Howdy.]]

** Strawberry soccer in the Sunflower Market, where you need to Hif-hif the strawberries the coach tosses at you.
** Tack-Q Bowling in the Ruins, a game where you have a limited number of balls to roll to hit balloons for points.
** Ham-Jam, which lets you dance to music you can collect around the levels.
* NPCRoadblock: A stuffed hamster blocking a passageway in Sunflower Elementary and a scared hamster blocking a passageway in the Ruins.
* OneHundredPercentCompletion: Boss gives you a new dictionary and one last new word if you learn all 85 Ham-Chat words.
* PlayingHardToGet: Bijou tries this with your character in Acorn Shrine, forcing you to chase her through the level.

* RuinsForRuinsSake: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Ruins]]. Except instead of being made of rocks it's mostly made-up of garbage (which, considering you play a hamster, is much larger from your point of view).
* SuddenlyBlonde: Pashmina's scarf, which is pink in the Anime, is brown (just like parts of her fur) when it is on her due to palette limitations, and only pink when she's not wearing it (when it's a separate sprite).

** There's another case where, to move the sleeping hamster on a digging spot at Acorn Shrine, you have to use Teenie. Hamtaro will accidentally fart, causing the sleeping hamster to wake up, stumble back and then pass out cold.

** You can Tack-Q (tackle) most hamsters, as well as biting, scratching, and poking with a stick.
** You can also Tack-Q a hamster in The Ruins, causing him to fall from a great height. The first time was essential to learn a Ham-Chat word and to progress, but later, you can do this to the hamster again and again afterwards.
** There are also cases where you can pee on (or maybe near) other hamsters. The hamster you learn See-Thru from will get ''really'' freaked out and be reduced to symbol gibberish should you do that.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Dexter and Howdy. Although when you first meet them they [[BettyAndVeronica fight over Pashmina]], [[spoiler: when one of them gets in danger (either Dexter getting frozen trying to make a sculpture for Pashmina or Howdy getting stuck in his cash register, depending on how you play) the other will rush to help you rescue him.]]
* WestminsterChimes: Sunflower Elementary's music is based on this. This is due to the fact Japanese schools use said chime for every period which is why the chime is used again in ''Rainbow Rescue'''s Clover Elementary.

** Strawberry soccer.

* OneHundredPercentCompletion: Boss gives you a new dictionary and gives you one last new word if you learn all 85 Ham-Chat words.

** There's another case where, to move the hamster sleeping hamster on a digging spot at Acorn Shrine, you have to use Teenie which Hamtaro will accidentally fart, causing the sleeping hamster to wake up, stumble back and then pass out cold.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: You can Tack-Q (tackle) most hamsters, as well as biting, scratching, and poking with a stick some hamsters. (The purple hamster stuck between the cardboard boxes in the Sunflower Market is a good example.)
