Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite!/Acorn Shrine

Acorn Shrine is the first area in Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite! It consists of a small building that takes up 4 screens and a path that winds its way around this structure.

Area 1: The entrance
When you first arrive a friendly and helpful white and blue ham-ham will automatically greet you. He informs you that acorns can be found around the shrine. However the will be a rare find since they are unfortunately out of season right now.

Continue left to reach area 2.

Area 2: Spotting Bijou
Upon entering area 2 a familiar ham-ham spots you. Bijou is the first ham-ham that will return to the clubhouse. However she is feeling rather playful and won't hear you out until you catch her. After challenging you to catch her Bijou runs away to the left off-screen.

It is possible to catch Bijou to the end of this level, area 14, without talking to any of the other ham-hams but it is not worth it. You won't be able to get her to return to the Clubhouse until you learn the required Ham-Chat gained by interacting with the ham-hams that inhabit this level.''

Continue left to reach area 3.

Area 3:
A white and pink ham-ham can be seen here daydreaming about love.

Area 6:
A white ham-ham can be seen hopping about above you on a brown structure.

Area 7:
A blue ham-ham can be seen hiding in a hole in the ground. He will throw you off in a panic if you step on him.

Area 8:
A ham-ham can be seen up in a tree.

Area 9: Pursuing Bijou
Upon entering this area Bijou is visible and continues running away. She flees to the left screen.

A ham-ham in a tree can be seen trying to reach a berry.

Area 10:
A pidgin can be seen resting in the grass.

Area 11: Pursuing Bijou (2)
Upon entering this area Bijou is visible and continues running away. She disappears towards the northern screen.

A white and blue ham-ham and a dark hole with shinning eyes inside are in this screen.

If you go south the path will lead to the shrine (area 12).

Area 13:
A white and grey ham-ham can be seen here sleeping. He rolls around in his sleep occasionally.

Area 14: Catching Bijou
Not only have you finally caught up with Bijou, but it is also a dead-end.

She is hiding behind a tree rather obviously. If you simply run up to her she will quickly scurry to the other side before you reach her. Tack-Q the base of the tree to knock down a group of spiders. This horribly frightens Bijou and causes her to flee to the left of the tree. Seeing that it is a dead-end she sits there and mopes.

No matter which 4 default options (Hamha, Hif-hif, Tack-Q, and Digdig) you tell Bijou, she will respond unhappily declaring "Hamtaro, you are so mean." She is incredibly upset so you will have to calm her down before she agrees to listen to you. If you have not been collecting Ham-Chats the last 4 dialog options are unavailable.
 * Now is the first chance you have had to talk to Bijou.
