Part 9: Should have saved that last title.
Update 08: Should have saved that last title.![](1-image001.png)
![](2-stats.png)
Welcome back, everyone! Having thoroughly explored most of the beach, we must surely be on the verge of finding where Barrette went. We even have one curious character to question...
![](3-Island.gif)
...right after we take a look at the islands out there in the distance.
![](4-image002.png)
Anyway, time for talking to this totally rad surfer dude over here.
![:rolleyes:](../Smilies/rolleyes.gif)
![](5-image003.png)
![](6-image004.png)
Ah-ha! Now, tell me... What's all this about a love note? And how do you get a name like Broski anyway?
![](7-image005.png)
...Or we could shoot the breeze first, okay.
![](8-image007.png)
![](9-Broski.png)
![](10-image011.png)
Uh, sure... But we really need to talk to you about something else.
![](11-image012.png)
![](12-image014.png)
Insert the dramatic snare of your choice here, readers.
![](13-image015.png)
![](14-image016.png)
Hang on, folks. Just give 'em a minute.
![](15-image018.png)
![](16-Bijou.png)
![](9-Broski.png)
![](16-Bijou.png)
![](17-image022.png)
Okay then... Until our heroes stop being quite so oblivious, we need to find something else to do.
![](18-image024.png)
Unfortunately, the only screen we have left is rather empty. So what's a pair of hamsters to do?
![](19-image027.png)
![](20-image028.png)
Why, backtrack to the entrance and find that two new NPCs have suddenly appeared!
![:eng101:](../Smilies/emot-eng101.gif)
![](21-FanBlue.png)
![](22-FanShy.png)
![](23-image032.png)
![](21-FanBlue.png)
Hey, that's it! If another soccer guy comes by, let's ask HIM to talk to the cute one! That's perfect!
![](22-FanShy.png)
![](24-image040.png)
Soooo, seems we've found a couple of teenage girl hamsters (or so I'm assuming). One of them seems painfully shy, but hopefully they can help us out.
![](25-image043.png)
![](26-image045.png)
![](27-image046.png)
...Yeah, we're not getting a thing out of this one. But at least her friend seemed talkative enough for two.
![](28-image048.png)
![](29-image049.png)
Apparently hamsters don't just grow bigger, but they stretch too!
![](30-image051.png)
Anyway, discovering that Ham-Chat was just for continuing with one of our side-quests (as well as collection purposes). Let's try dealing with the task at hand now.
![](31-image052.png)
![](21-FanBlue.png)
![](32-image055.png)
![](22-FanShy.png)
There we go; the trigger that will hopefully move the plot along. So let's promptly go goof off a little more! (Sorry, Quillpaw!)
![](33-image058.png)
![](34-Starlet.png)
![](35-image062.png)
![:toot:](../Smilies/emot-toot.gif)
![](34-Starlet.png)
![](36-image065.png)
She's a little bit full of herself, but at least our famous friend gave us this tiny pineapple to use as the soccer club's ball!
![](37-image066.png)
![](38-image068.png)
...You need help, Coach. But in the meantime, have a ball!
![](39-Coach.png)
![](40-image071.png)
The manliest of tears. Sorry, hamliest.
![](39-Coach.png)
![](41-image074.png)
Sure thing, Coach. Since you asked so nicely...
![:)](../Smilies/smile.gif)
![](42-image076.png)
![](39-Coach.png)
![](43-image079.png)
![](44-image080.png)
![:3:](../Smilies/emot-3.gif)
![](45-image082.png)
Anyway, hope everyone's ready for our very first minigame!
![](46-image083.png)
![](39-Coach.png)
![](47-Headers.gif)
This one really couldn't be simpler; just press A when the pineapple is falling toward Hamtaro or Bijou. The other players will take care of themselves.
![](48-image092.png)
![](49-image093.png)
![](39-Coach.png)
![](50-image095.png)
![](39-Coach.png)
And with that, we successfully become part of FC Pineapple.
![:toot:](../Smilies/emot-toot.gif)
![](51-image106.png)
Of course, we had another reason in mind for joining the team.
![](52-image107.png)
![](21-FanBlue.png)
Alright, calm down... Yes, we'll help you with your matters of luuuuuv.

![](21-FanBlue.png)
![](54-image115.png)
![](21-FanBlue.png)
![](55-image117.png)
Love note posted:
It says:
"Hi, I know this is out of the blue, but I need to tell you how I feel. I'll wait under the palm tree.♪
From a fan of your super-cute blue tail!♥
![](21-FanBlue.png)
And with that, we score another new Ham-Chat and move one step closer to completing this little lover's task.
![:toot:](../Smilies/emot-toot.gif)
![](56-image128.png)
Only problem is, we can't tell which of the three players has a blue tail, and if we make them hold still with Tinglie... The game will make sure that we hand the love note over to the wrong one!
![:(](../Smilies/frown.gif)
![](57-image134.png)
Back to the actual plot!
![](58-image135.png)
![](59-image136.png)
![](60-image137.png)
...Do I even need to say that I like Broski's dialogue here?
![:allears:](../Smilies/emot-allears.gif)
![](61-image138.png)
![](16-Bijou.png)
![](62-image142.png)
And there we go, our heroes finally catch up to something the player probably realised back at the Clubhouse (and almost definitely got as soon as they reached Sandy Bay itself).
![](16-Bijou.png)
![](63-Ding.gif)
...Broski might be a tiny bit slow on the uptake.
![](64-image151.png)
![](65-stats.png)
Heading 'that way' brings us into another Spatastic cutscene.
![](66-image152.png)
![](67-image153.png)
![](68-Barrette.png)
![:doh:](../Smilies/emot-doh.gif)
![](69-Kick.gif)
Yep, that's pretty much what everyone saw coming.
![:(](../Smilies/frown.gif)
![](70-image158.png)
![](71-image159.png)
'Mean' might be a little bit of an understatement in this case, Barrette.
![](72-Leaving.gif)
...Spat has his own customised dinghy.
![:3:](../Smilies/emot-3.gif)
![](73-image164.png)
![](2-stats.png)
Oh, right. He did strand someone out at sea, which isn't quite so cute.
![](74-image166.png)
![](68-Barrette.png)
![](75-image170.png)
Don't worry, hun. We'll work something out...
![:ohdear:](../Smilies/emot-ohdear.png)
![](16-Bijou.png)
![](76-image174.png)
![](16-Bijou.png)
Oh boy... Now it's up to Hamtaro and Bijou to find someone who can swim. Our only option when near someone at this point is Gasp-P, which will hopefully get one of the hamsters here to help us...
![](77-image177.png)
Broski, lend us your sweet surfing skills!
![](78-image178.png)
![](16-Bijou.png)
But... but, we don't know how to swim... Please use your surfing skills to rescue her!
![](79-image184.png)
![](80-image186.png)
![](9-Broski.png)
![:3:](../Smilies/emot-3.gif)
![](81-image188.png)
![](9-Broski.png)
![](16-Bijou.png)
![](82-image191.png)
![](83-image192.png)
...Broski is a fraud, guys.
![:(](../Smilies/frown.gif)
![](84-image193.png)
![](16-Bijou.png)
Hamtaro!!! We've got to find someone to help Barrette!
![](85-image196.png)
S'okay, Broski... I'm sure we'll find someone who can save Barrette.
Northward!
![](86-image197.png)
![](87-CapWife.png)
![](88-image202.png)
![](89-Shades.png)
Uh... Um... How about the famous lady?
![](90-image205.png)
![](91-image207.png)
...Seems she doesn't quite get the message.
![](92-image209.png)
![](93-image210.png)
Running out of options here...
![:ohdear:](../Smilies/emot-ohdear.png)
![](94-image215.png)
Let's get these lot to stand still, and see if Coach's enthusiasm can save the day!
![](95-image216.png)
![](96-image217.png)
Now is not the time, Coach! Can you help us or not?
![](97-image219.png)
.....
Well, we have only one chance left without leaving the beach.
![](98-image220.png)
...Yeah, don't hold your breath on this one.
![](99-image223.png)
![](100-SwimG.png)
![](101-image226.png)
![](102-SwimR.png)
You two are the worst lifeguards ever.
![:mad:](../Smilies/mad.gif)
![](103-image229.png)
We've run out of folks to ask on the sands... But luckily for Barrette, we know one hamster who can definitely swim!
![](104-Zoom.gif)
![](105-stats.png)
Godspeed, Seamore.
![:ohdear:](../Smilies/emot-ohdear.png)
![](106-Assure.gif)
Ah, I guess Boss is right. Only one hamster around here knows the secret of swimming.
![](107-image235.png)
Not even Snoozer in his mighty wisdom can help us now.
![](108-image236.png)
And Harmony... We can't even ask Harmony to help.
Back to the beach, on the double!
![](109-Rescue.gif)
![](2-stats.png)
Luckily, Hamtaro and Bijou arrive just in time to see Seamore in action.
![:)](../Smilies/smile.gif)
![](110-image242.png)
![](68-Barrette.png)
![](111-image247.png)
![](112-image248.png)
![](113-image249.png)
Yeah, about that...
![](114-image250.png)
![](16-Bijou.png)
![](115-Seamore.png)
![](116-image254.png)
Yeah... It seems that everybody was.
![](117-image255.png)
![](118-image256.png)
![](119-image257.png)
![:3:](../Smilies/emot-3.gif)
![](120-SB.gif)
And with that, we rescue another couple's love... and we got a Love Boost for filling the meter up to one of the markings on its side! Awesome!
![](115-Seamore.png)
![](121-image263.png)
![](68-Barrette.png)
![](122-image266.png)
Any time, buddy. It's what protagonists do!
![](123-image267.png)
![](115-Seamore.png)
![](68-Barrette.png)
![](115-Seamore.png)
![](124-image272.png)
![](125-image273.png)
And with that, we're left to enjoy the warm sands and cool breeze... But Spat is still out there somewhere, plotting another nefarious scheme!
![](126-image277.png)
![](127-image278.png)
Claiming the board and jar that Seamore brought ashore as our reward, we find something to occupy ourselves with while on the hunt for Spat... Next time!
Bonus video:
Hamsters have a natural talent for mimicking The Scream.
![](128-Blue.gif)
![](129-Green.gif)
For one last bit of bonus material, here's a quick look at our Love Meter in the two different stages we've seen so far. As Quillpaw said, Hamtaro and Bijou have an unique animation for each.
