Kirby's Rainbow Resort

Some of you probably remember the Let's Play I did of Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! two years back. If you don't, here's a link to the old thread. Once I finished it, I hinted at doing a sequel Let's Play of Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak. And now I'm doing it! Enjoy.



Prologue: Another Beginning


Once upon a time...


I was falling in love...


But now I'm only falling apart...


There's nothing I can do...


Total eclipse ......






OF THE-- huh what.


Oh. It was all just a dream. How... predictable.

Hello! You can call me Diddgery (or Didgery, if you're restricted to only seven letters). One day I woke up as a hamster and got into a ridiculously pointless adventure. Ever since then I've been living in a hole in the ground with several other hamsters, and all the while I've made no progress in figuring out what happened to me or how I got here. It's been difficult adjusting to hamster life, but I think I've gotten the hang of it now.


That's Boss, the hamster who runs the place. He orders me around a lot, but he's not a bad guy. He's just stupid!

Boss came running upstairs and I told him about the dream I had.


I was thinking it was brought on by all the Mexican food from last night, but okay that works too.


Sure thing. Just let me grab my incredibly important Ham-Ham Dictionary and we'll be set.


I hope nothing bad happens while I'm walking down the stairs!


WHOOPSIE


Okay, who leaves buckets of water just sitting around arbitrarily for people to fall into? Honestly!!


...Well, that's not a good thing.


This is undoubtedly your fault.


And almost all of my Ham-Chats are gone now. I knew I should have invested in the type of ink that doesn't instantly vanish when it comes in contact with water.





Easy enough. Bijou's practically in love with me, so getting her to come back to the Clubhouse should be a piece of cake. Before I go, Boss offers to teach me some Ham-Chat to make up for indirectly erasing 95% of my dictionary.


Unfortunately, the only words he can teach me are the ones I already know, but I'm not going to argue with him since he could kill me with his bare paws if he felt like it. I might as well freshen up on the basics.


Hamha: The most basic Ham-Chat word. It's used as a standard greeting among hamsters.


Tack-Q: A forward roll used to find items, shake trees, or my personal favorite, harass other hamsters.


Hif-Hif: Before picking up any items, a quick evaluation is required. And by "evaluation," I mean "smell it to make sure it isn't crap."


Digdig: Pretty self-explanatory. Digging also helps to find items, as well as secret passages.


...the hell?


It's easy! All you have to do is put in a quarter, and then hold onto this end and--
Oh, wait, it's not that kind of love meter. It looks more like a thermometer than anything. Ah well, I don't need to be told I'm a Cold Fish anyway.
...
I MEAN HOT STUFF. I AM HOT STUFF.


Yeah, I already knew that. Don't you remember when I had to find all the Ham-Hams a while back?


Okay, I'm off. Thanks for ruining my dictionary and teaching me things I already knew!

END OF PROLOGUE

Chapter 1: When Hams Collide


Okay, Boss said that Bijou's at Sunny Peak, so...
...huh. That's funny. I could've sworn there wasn't a mountain like this before. Or a castle. Or a haunted house. Or a theme pa-- eh, weirder things have happened. To the park!


HUTTAH! I've gotten pretty good at navigating Boss's tunnels; it only took a couple of minutes to find the right path. Anyway, it might be a good idea to survey the place and see if I can spot Bijou...


No sign of her, but I know why they call this place Sunny Peak now. Hamsters are not exactly creative when it comes to naming locations.

I'm not gonna get anything done if I just hang out in a tree, though, so onwards to adventure!


Well that was easy. ADVENTURE OVER!
...Or rather, it would be over if she didn't walk off like that. But first!


There's something in these bushes, I can feel it in my bones. Now how do I get it out...


Feel the wrath of my poking skills, mystery bush creature!!


Of course, it's just another hamster. He got all flustered and ran off. I wonder what he was doing back there ........
oh right i was looking for bijou wasn't i


Huh. I guess Bijou won't be coming back to the Clubhouse after all! Oh well, might as well enjoy this visit to the Peak before reporting back to Boss.


What's with those little tornado things above their heads? Are they aeromancers? Oh man, I want to learn the secret arts of air magic!!


I figured that! You must be very busy with your intense magic practi--
and then it turned out they just wanted to find a way to get a lot of sunflower seeds all at once. There goes my dream of becoming a wizard.


Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me for being a lesser hamster!!


...oh, it only gives one seed per Tack-Q.


WHATEVER I DON'T WANT ANY SUNFLOWER SEEDS ANYWAYS


Near the peak, who should I run into but Oxnard, crying like a fat baby. No surprise here!


Who's Pepper?
...Wait. Floating half-heart icon... crying fatso... someone named Pepper...
Oxnard has a girlfriend?!

Orrrr Pepper could just be a literal pepper. Maybe he ate it all and then when it was gone, thought that the pepper was angry at him. I mean, it wouldn't be the first time he thought food was alive.


Don't cry, buddy! I know just the thing to cheer you up.




Oh, whoops. When I said "cheer you up," I meant "cheer me up while making you feel more miserable." My bad!


Heading east, I spot a handkerchief just sitting on the ground in front of me. Clearly, there's only one logical choice to make here.


STAND ALLLLLL OVER IT. As soon as I stepped foot on it, a pink hamster ran up and demanded to know what I was doing, so I played dumb.


What handkerchief? I'm just wiping my feet on this cloth someone so kindly laid out!





And with that, she took the handkerchief and ran off. Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuI'm not doing that again.


I decide to dig in this spot, next to a familiar marker. If memory serves me right, then this must be...


A Ham Boutique! Or, uh, Boutique Ham, I guess. Maybe they changed their name when they realized "Ham Boutique" implies clothing for pigs as opposed to hamsters. Whatever the case, let's check out the stock!


...yeah i'm not buying any of this. Moving on!!


That's a pretty feather. I bet it comes from an American Eagle.


Uhhh no, I'm not Arnie. I'm Didgery.


That's what I just said! Way to not pay attention.


...WELL YOU KNOW WHAT, I DIDN'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU EITHER.


Going downnnnn


There's a girl on a sunflower leaf with a heart half floating above her head. Could this be Pepper...?


Eh, I don't care.


OH MAN A BOAT. I want to drive it but... I'm on the other side of the rocks now, so I guess I should at least check to see if I can get to Bijou.


Wow, Bijou, you've put on a lot of weight since I last saw you. And you're suddenly male, too! Won't Boss be surprised?


Turns out it wasn't Bijou after all. It's just some guy looking for this thing his little brother lost.


A paddleboat, perhaps?
Not caring much for this guy's plight, I'm about ready to head home when my conscience started acting up. So I ask him if he's seen Bijou at all.


Oh, so there's TWO sets of boulders blocking off both sides. Good to know!


I don't know why I have to learn Pakapaka before I can bite things, but I've learned not to question the way things are run around here too much.


Another way, huh....


BOAT TIME
oh wait it's tethered to this pole and won't budge.


Nothing my massive hamster incisors can't take care of!
Okay, now that the boat's free, I can finally dri--


FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

CHAPTER 1: TO BE CONTINUED

Brace yourself for a long update! I can already tell this game is going to have a lot more screenshots (and probably take longer) than Ham-Hams Unite.

CHAPTER 1 CONTINUES ...


Okay, the boat drifted to the west, but since there's boulders I'm gonna have to run around the peak again. JOY.

A voice calls out to me along the way, so I stop and learn another Ham-Chat word that I undoubtedly already knew before.


There you are! ...But it still won't start for some reason. Maybe that guy knows what's up.


YES.


Oh, so it needs a power source? That explains the conspicuous battery-shaped hole in the boat's floor! And I know just where to find a battery.


Aha! BATTERY GE--... wait.


That is a swan-shaped thingy, like that one hamster was looking for. I try to reach out and grab it when a hamster suddenly pops up from under it.


Hey, I'm not afraid of water either! I just don't like getting wet, is all. Totally different things.


Oh boy, as if I haven't been asked enough favors already. Lay it on me, Seamore.


Wait, why can't you do it yourself? I mean, you're the one who taught me Offdoff, so you're more than capable of doing it on your own.


Regardless, I do as Seamore requests and slam the swan thingy off of his shell.


He may be stupid, but he seems like a pretty cool guy. I ask him if he knows what the swan thing is.


It... it's for potty training.
...I didn't even know hamsters HAD potties, and I've been here for I don't even know how long. I ask Seamore to keep it since I really don't want to have to put it in my inventory, even if that other hamster was looking for it.


Seamore tells me that he's starting a photo booth at the Clubhouse, and takes off. For a hamster who had a toilet seat stuck to his back, he's a good dude! I wouldn't mind seeing more of him later.

Now to get back to business!!


BATTERY GET!


AWWWWW YEAAAAAAAH. This is easily the coolest thing I've done as a hamster. And hey there's Bijou.


I'm not here to rescue you, I'm just here to show off my super cool boat. That you can't ride in. Because you're fat. Remember how I always called you Mega-Q?


HOLY CRAP YOU REALLY ARE MEGA-Q.


If you were then almost all of my troubles would've instantly vanished. *sigh* If only...


WHAT. No. No! I fly solo. But if you insist on staying, there's only one thing I know that can dissuade you from sticking around!

HAM-HAM ...


PAUoh what the hell bijou. That's MY signature move! You can't go and cancel my Ham-Ham Punch with a punch of your own!! And you wonder why I hate you.

Can we go now?


...WHY


Yeah yeah I saw what was up with Oxnard. So what? Nothing I can do about it.


You want to talk to Pepper, huh? Sounds SO EXCITING.


You really aren't making me hate you any less right now.

Okay, if it will make you come along quietly, I'll help you sort out fatty's romance troubles, but after that we have to go right back to the Clubhouse. Okay? Okay!


I told you you couldn't ride in the boat, but there's no alternative. Hold on to something, I like to go fast.


...
When I said "hold on to something," I didn't mean my ASS.


One sexual harassment lawsuit later, we arrive at the other side of the peak. Before going to meet Pepper, I decide to report to the potty training guy.


Unfortunately, yes. I also found your little brother's swan thingy.


Uhhhhhh no thanks, I've had enough of that sort of thing for one day.

Bijou and I go to see Pepper, but she's still unreachable on her sunflower leaf perch. I try to convince Bijou to give up and go home, but she's dead set on fixing their relationship. Then, I have an idea.


THAT'S FOR INSULTING MY TACK-Q!
..Bijou why are you yelling too? Stop copying me!!


GOOD.


Huh? Wait, I didn't mean to make you guys have an epiphany! I just wanted to get back at you for insulting me! And also for not teaching me your tornado magic!


Why do my attempts to make people miserable always backfire like this!!
...Oh, well, it looks like I learned a new Ham-Chat word. This one explicitly requires two hamsters to use...
Bijou says that she has an idea this time, and drags me back to Pepper's sunflower. Time to put this new word to use, I guess.


Hey, wait, I never said I'd let you be on top!
...But then again, you're the one who wanted to talk to Pepper. Ugh, just be quick about it, you're really heavy.


QUIT THE SMALL TALK AND GET TO THE IMPORTANT PART.


Way to tell us things we already know!!
Okay you know what Bijou, just tell Pepper to climb down here, I can't hold you up much longer.


NO NOT LIKE THAT
WHY DO YOU ALL HATE ME

Okay, with Pepper safely on the ground and Bijou safely not caving in my skull, we can continue this conversation.


Oh dear, what sort of horrible atrocities has Oxnard committed! SPILL HIS DARK SECRETS, PEPPER.


...that's dumb. You're dumb.


GO CRY ME A RIVER


That's not what I meant at all!


Bijou continues to try and fix Pepper's relationship with Oxnard. I start to tone it out because Pepper keeps saying "oh but Oxnard likes sunflower seeds more than me" and Bijou keeps saying "nuh uh he is in ~TRUE LOVE~ with you" and it's just so boring and repetitive.


Eventually Pepper reveals that some Spat character was the one who told her Oxnard didn't like her anymore. Way to believe literally anything you hear, Pepper!


And with another sickeningly cute Ham-Chat word added to the Dictionary, Pepper runs off to apologize to Oxnard. Bijou suggests we follow them, and I go along with her because what else am I gonna do with my time.


Oh good, he's finally stopped crying. You can't see it in this picture, but just off that cliff is a whole new lake formed by Oxnard's tears.


Yeah, shut up, kid.


Wonderful. Now that they're back together, they can spread hurtful rumors about all the other hamsters. I hope you're happy, Bijou!


Oxnard gives Pepper his comically large sunflower seed. I'm honestly surprised he didn't wind up eating it while he was forming Lake Whining.


This is pathetic. Can we go now?


Oh, hey, their heart fragments became one. How ni--


WHOA WHAT


Okay, uh.. that was weird. It looks like the meter thingy I dug up early reacted to that sudden burst of love... what IS this thing, really?


Regardless, we finally got those two back together, so it's (finally) time to return to the Clubhouse. But first...

HAM-HAM...


FISTBUMP! ...Wait, no, that's not what I wanted to do at all! I HATE YOU BIJOU.

CHAPTER 1: TO BE CONCLUDED...

Next update is going to be much shorter than this one. Then we can finally move on to a new chapter...

_________________

Bijou, he's just not that into you.

CHAPTER 1 CONCLUDES ...

Time to go back to the Clubhouse, for real this time!


What now?! Seriously, I'm sick and tired of thi--
*KER-SLAM!*


...ow.


Wait, I've seen you before...


You're Spat, huh? ...Have to admit, your title's hardly intimidating. Not to mention your costume's ridiculous and your name is stupid. I have a feeling you're going to be a rather lackluster villain.

But then again you DID punch me in the face and knock me down, so maybe I shouldn't underestimate you??


That's... pretty lame. I have a feeling your backstory involves getting rejected by girls a whole lot.


You told us your dastardly plan and then asked us to not get involved? Why didn't you just, you know, not tell us in the first place?

Aaaand then he ran off. Wonderful. Help me up, will you, Bijou?


...Bijou?


Oh, yeah, I forgot. You're a hopeless romantic. You're gonna start going on about the Power of Love™ and whatnot now, aren't you?


..um


...

WELL WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GO BACK TO THE CLUBHOUSE.


One incredibly awkward walk later...


Boss started to greet us, but Bijou cut him off and immediately told him everything that happened. Or rather, everything involving Spat and his "evil scheme." She totally left out the part where I drive a boat!


I know, completely stupid, right?


Oh yeah, THAT's how I knew him! I had a dream about a hamster breaking everyone's hearts, and when he turned around, he had these bright eyes...
Of all the dreams of mine to turn out to be of the future, it had to be something as dumb as this.


...And, of course, a random stranger decides to wander into the Clubhouse at this time. Boss why didn't you install that security grid I told you about!!


How... special.


Oh, wow, I never would've guessed a hamster in an angel costume would have a connection to a hamster in a devil costume.

Harmony goes on to explain that she's been chasing Spat for some time now.


Yeah, what of it?


So let me get this straight. Whenever I sort out someone's relationship troubles, this love thingamajig siphons off their good feelings and stores that energy. And then when we have enough energy stored, we can harness the Power of Love™ to do... what, exactly?


...I'm pretty sure I could beat Spat without any of this. I bet he'd run off crying if I just pushed him in the mud or something.

Harmony says that she'll stay in the Clubhouse for the time being, since she can't go home as long as he's out causing trouble.


Hey, wait! That's where I sleep! You can't stay there!!

...But of course, she doesn't listen. I can hear Harmony giggling and rearranging things up there... BIJOU, THIS IS YOUR FAULT SOMEHOW.


Wait, up to us? As in, you and me, working as a team? I said that was just until we got back to the Clubhouse! I'm not doing this.

Boss, back me up here, will you?


...Et tu, Boss?


I really, really don't want to do this. But I really, really, REALLY don't want Boss to bust my head in with a shovel (which he has threatened to do on the occasions I tried to go against his whims).


Let's-a go...

CHAPTER 1 END
