=Version history=
1.0-Started the FAQ. I'm sure it will help a lot of
people.
2.0-Added 'Info' to the songs and the section 'What
are Ham-Jams?'. This FAQ is coming along smoothly, so
I think it's pretty much about
done.
2.5-Fixed info on 'Go Ham Rangers'...I guess it's not
really done, after all...
2.7-Fixed up some spelling, and, I'm not exactly sure
what ham you talk to to get 'Dizzy For You'. If
someone can tell me if I'm right or not, please do so!
3.0-Fixed up even yet some more spelling, and added a
little more detail on a few topics (still don't know
the 'Dizzy For You' ham yet!)
I'm thinking about adding another section...
3.3-Only fixed and added a few things, nothing major.
I also think my explanations of 'Hidden Riches' and
'Hamour' aren't that good, so I'll need some help on
those, too.

=What are Ham-Jams?=
Ham-Jams are songs you collect throughout the game
that can be danced to. There are ten in all, and you
use your Ham-Chat words as dance steps in the songs.
Most of the songs are short in length.
>>>>>~~~~~-----~~~~~<<<<<
=The Ham-Jams=
1. HAMTARO TIME
Location: (none)
Info: This is the music for the Hamtaro theme song.
How to get:
You start with this song.
2. CONDOR'S WINGS
Location: Sunny Peak
Info: This song seems to have a western-ish style.
How to get:
Near the cave that leads to Arnie's house, there is a
feather on the ground. Say 'Lookie' to see a bird fly
overhead. Even though the bird seems to be gone, say
'Hamha' on the feather. The bird will fly by again
and drop you the song.
3. GREAT SPRINGS
Location: Sunny Peak hot springs
Info: This song is the music in the hot springs.
How to get:
If you have no clue what I mean by 'hot springs in
Sunny Peak', then you should wait until you've opened
the level 'Wildwoods'. After entering Wildwoods and
exploring around, you will see that Spat has stolen
Seedric(from Sunny Peak)'s acorn cap and sold it to
Cappy. When you return to Sunny Peak, you'll see that
the spot that Seedric originally stood in is replaced
by a cave. 'Digdig' near the entrance, and you'll
find the hot springs. Go in the springs and
'Digdig'-you'll get the 'Hot Springs Egg', which
you'll need to give to Bog. 'Digdig' once again.
Ta-dah! The song is yours.
4. HIDDEN RICHES
Location: Sandy Bay
Info: This song seems to have the theme of a beach.
How to get:
After saving Barette and Seamore's love, go back to
the place that Barette was drifting off to sea. You
will see a jar floating along the shoreline.
'Hif-hif' it, and not only will you get the jar, but a
riddle that was inside, too! The riddle seems to have
something to do with music. You should have noticed
that there are many greenish-yellowish-greyish rocks
sticking up around the beach. If you 'Tack-Q' any of
these stones, they will play a musical score. Match
the notes with those on the riddle, and then head back
to the giant rock with the musical note on it. There
will now be a hole in front of it. 'Digdig' on the
hole. You will not only be granted access to the
treasure island, but you'll get 'Hidden Riches', too!
5. DIZZY FOR YOU
Location: Sandy Bay (on the island)
Info: This song grants you access to the hula contest
and is the song played on the island.
How to get:
After entering Sandy Bay's island and trying to enter
the hula contest, you can't. The blue hamster
guarding the entrance talks about you needing some
kind of 'pass'. The 'pass' is actually the song
'Dizzy For You'. Go to the right and into the
audience's place in the hula contest (The place where
Elder-Ham is in case you don't know where I'm talking
about). Talk to the greenish-blue hamster in there
and he'll give you the song.
6. GO HAM RANGERS
Location: Fun Land
Info: This is the background music played when you
watch the Ham Rangers show in Fun Land.
How to get:
After you bring back the ghost ham and his mom's love
together and they return to Boo Manor, return to Fun
Land to find ou that the Ham Ranger show is starting
again. You need to find three Rangers again. Here
are the locations:
Red-in a bathroom stall
Blue-at the far end of the 'Stickie Note' game room
Green-nearby some flowers at the left side of the park
Pink-in a balloon cart(Tack-Q the cart to find her)
Yellow-The Ham sleeping behind a water fountain below
the Ham Ranger show entrance(Tack-Q the fountain so
you can talk to him)
As you can see, there are all five Rangers in the
park, but before the show starts, two will
automatically go and you need to find the other three.
After you watch the show a second time, you will be
rewarded with the song 'Go Ham Rangers'.
7. FLOWER WALTZ
Location: Fun Land (Tick Tack-Q game)
Info: An old popular song that also was in a cartoon
(I remember. It was mice dancing with flowers to hide
their heads).
How to get:
This song is your reward for a perfect eight lines in
the Tick Tack-Q game in Fun Land. It may seem
challenging, but I have a strategy:
-Try your best to hit numbers that are not filled in
(shown at the bottom left-hand corner at the screen)
-Avoid skull baloons, for they take away your numbers
-Try to have the 1-up baloon near some numbered
balloons so you can get an extra ball and some
filled-in numbers
-Try to have the other hamsters playing the game pop
the balloons hit the speed-up ballons, so that the
speed goes up--this way the ball can pop more balloons
-This game has no time limit--patience and timing are
the keys.
8. MOONLIGHT
Location: Boo Manor
Info: This is one of the most popular songs composed
by Beethoven
How to get:
On the 4th floor of Boo Manor, you will notice a green
ghost hamster listening to some music that seems to be
coming from nowhere. 'Nok-nok' on the wall next to
the ham, then 'Pushie'. There will be a piano in the
room, so 'Jamout' on it. Then a ghost hamster will
offer Bijou piano lessons. The ham will play
'Moonlight', then ask three questions. There are
actually more than three, for I failed the first time
and then the next time he asked one different question
than before. After correctly answering all the
questions, Bijou will now now how to play piano and
you will recieve the song 'Moonlight'.
9. MONKEY SALSA
Location: Wildwoods
Info: This is a cute Calypso/Monkey song.
How to get:
After destroying Spat's 'Haminator 3000' and beating
the game, talk to Bog in Wildwoods, and you will see
that him and his monkey friend have a 'new baby' (it's
a duckling). He will ask you to decide a name for it,
and after you do, he'll thank you by giving you the
song 'Monkey Salsa'.
10. HAMOUR
Location: Spat Tower
Info: This is the song played during the credits after
you beat Spat and the song played during the scene
after you rescue all the couples' love.
How to get:
After beating the game and rescuing George and his
girlfriend's love, there will be a hamster (whose
resemblance to a rabbit probably gives him his name)
named Radar. Talk to him. Go outside the tower.
Talk to the hamster with the parasol. This might not
work the first time, but keep talking to him until he
says that you've met his friend, Radar (how does he
know?), and he'll tell you that he's a reporter and
he'll give you 'Hamour'.

=Legal Info=
The Hamtaro games are (R) Nintendo.
This FAQ is (c) me, but I'm so nice I'll let you use
this FAQ on your website or something like that. Just
don't say that you made this FAQ yourself and it's
yours, BECAUSE IT ISN'T!!!

=Special Thanks=
I give my thanks to...
..anyone who uses this FAQ to help them do anything
except for filling up the trash barrel or something
like that
..GameFAQs.com for letting me post this on the
site(Heck, it's the first FAQ I ever got posted out of
around 10 I have tried--actually, counting this one, I
only finished four...-_-;)
..The people of the GameFAQs Ham-ham Heartbreak
message board, for helping me find some (actually,
it's probably 'most') of the songs...and, for actually
inspiring me to do this, because:
1.No one knew where to get Hamour
2.They kept saying it was the monkey that gave you
'Monkey Salsa', but it was acctually Bog
..Miles, for pointing out to me that the Ham behind
the fountain in Fun Land is Ham Yellow! (he looks a
little brown to me, and I mean not JUST the brown on
his head, but oh well...I never had to find him my two
times, so I had no clue)
