Additional Quotes
Hamtaro: Summer camp? I wonder if any of the ham-hams know what that is. Oxnard: Kana says "camping" is a place where they sleep in bags, eat burnt marshmallows, swim and get bitten by mosquitoes, but it's supposed to be fun. Heidi: (to the ham-hams) You guys have been very nice today. I can't believe I accused you of stealing. Heidi: My name is Heidi, everybody. I come from the Flufferstuff Mountains. Boss: What little ham-ham climbs down a mountain in search of the ocean all for the sake of her grandmother. That's what I call courage. (He knocks down Hamtaro.) Right, Hamtaro? Oops! Snoozer: Zu zu. Pirates. Buwied tweasure. All for Granny, goin' on adventures. Ahoy! Howdy: Boss says that we have to watch our step, so does that mean we all have to stare at the step? Hee hee hee. Step up to laughter! Howdy: I got great timing for comedy, but lousy timin' when it comes to boats. Dexter: I wish your jokes would jump ship! Penelope: Ookwee! Jingle: Razzle-Dazzle Beach. A place where the soul can really rock and roll. Feels so grand to have the paws in the sand. Jingle: We took a wrong turn. I'm so forlorn, forget the beach, we're in a sea of corn. Howdy: Cry me a river hamboy. Jingle: Who needs the beach? Dexter: Remind me never to let Jingle be our tour guide again. Howdy: I hear ya', pardner. Sabu: How weird is that? Here I am flying into my favorite holiday resort and I find you guys airborne. Hamtaro: Uh... well, now we're all here thanks to the piggyback express. Howdy: I've got dengue fever, cowboys. Where's the goods? Boss: So how is all this singin' gonna help us? Howdy: Odelay, where is the gold? Saddle me up and spur me on, pardner! Maxwell: (to Heidi, about her song) Does the next verse lead us to some flashlights? Heidi: If we stick together, we can get through anything. That's what being a ham-ham is all about. Right?! Heidi: Hey, Grandma, I thought you had heat exhaustion. Heidi's Grandma: Nothing that some shade, water and a walk through the cool cave wouldn't cure. Elder Ham: Wah! We've been robbed. Somebody's taken off with our treasure... We did have treasure, didn't we? Heidi: What?! Don't tell me you forgot. Heidi: Strange. Hamtaro: All of a sudden, they look so young. Am I just imagining things? Heidi: Well, maybe they're young at heart. Stan: Are Hamtaro and Cappy twins? Sandy: No, just us. Postmaster Ham-Ham: It's a birthday party every month with the ham-hams.

~~~ Heidi's Song ~~~ There's a song running through my head Something that somebody said A lovely summer holiday by the sea That's what they said to me In my mind I hear the words The prettiest words you've ever heard There is an unforgettable treasure A beautiful gift that has no measure There's a future that I can see A large oak tree is calling me That's the place I want to be Chasing the setting sun That is where I'd like to run After crossing a small rainbow I shall see it, I will know Let's open the sunflower door That's what we're all hoping for. ~~~ The Sunflower Team ~~~ --- Chorus 1 --- Let's go-go We're the Sunflower Team Let's go We all get along Together, we're the Sunflower Team Let's go-go Sing this ham-ham song --- end chorus --- Hamtaro: If there's trouble that's no problem We can work it out We know how to do it That's what friends are all about If we work together There's nothing we can't do When it looks you can't make it Good friends get you through --- Chorus 2 --- Let's go-go We're the Sunflower Team Let's go-go Nothing stops us now Together we're the Sunflower Team Let's go-go Come on we'll show you how --- end chorus --- --- repeat chorus 1 --- Hamtaro: If it's sunny, if it's stormy If it's day or night We'll work together now That's what makes it right Through the wind and through the rain Across the stormy sea No matter where we are You can always count on me! --- repeat choruses 1 and 2 ---
~~~ Happy Ham-Ham Birthday ~~~ Happy Ham-Ham Birthday! Oxnard: We're all here for your special day. Happy Ham-Ham Birthday! Boss: You know with us you're #1! Happy Ham-Ham Birthday to you! Howdy: You get better as the days go by, that's 365 reasons why. Dexter: We love you more and more, that's what we're all singing for! Penelope: Ookwee! Pashmina: Everyone knows that you're the star, no matter what you do or where you are! Cappy: You always make us happy, we always have fun, you're a best friend, you're #1! Oxnard: Is it your laugh? Is it your smile? Is it that you're happy all the while? Bijou: I'm not sure, but one thing I know... We'll follow you whereever you go! Happy Ham-Ham Birthday! Hamtaro: I must be the luckiest hamster alive! Maxwell: You know it! Happy Ham-Ham Birthday! Boss: We've just gotta sing it one more time! Happy Ham-Ham Birthday to you! Yeah!

As the older Ham-Hams are shown as black-and-white versions of them as kids, you will notice that the young Elder-Ham looks remarkably like Sabu.
-
"Part 1: Ham-Hams Ahoy!" was based on the second OVA movie in Japan, and the "Part 2: Happy Birthday Hamtaro!" apparantly came from the first OVA movie.

-
New credits roll sequence at the end, with the text in black instead of right and scrolling upwards, instead of showing one set of credits after another. Also a new ShoPro logo display and copyright notice at the end "R. KAWAI / 2000, 2003 Shogakukan SMDE, TV Tokyo." (New to Cartoon Network anyway. This logo had already been shown in New Zealand and possibly other markets as well.)
