Over The Hedge: Hammy Goes Nuts is an action-packed adventure that follows Hammy , a lovable but mischievous squirrel, as he navigates through various levels. His main goal is to prepare for the annual Woodland Games by clearing obstacles and paths. However, his antics often lead to unexpected challenges, requiring him to think on his feet.
Players control Hammy as he moves objects around levels using the Game Boy Advance console's controls. The ball is controlled by other movie characters, adding a fun twist to the gameplay. To unlock Challenge Mode, players must complete each hole in under par time. Once unlocked, this mode presents even tougher levels that require precise timing and skill.
One of the standout features of Over The Hedge: Hammy Goes Nuts is its multiplayer mode, which allows up to four players to compete against each other using a single cartridge. Players can pass the console around to take turns playing as their favorite characters from the movie.
