The plot of the GBA version focuses on Hammy, a hyper squirrel from Over the Hedge, who learns how to play golf after his cable goes out, while the PSP version follows Hammy's attempts to get his cable back, and the DS iteration follows the characters' attempts to get Boris the Beaver material for his dam. Hammy Goes Nuts! received mediocre reviews for all of its versions; the DS and PSP versions were criticized for generic elements and control issues, while the GBA game was brought down from its repetitive nature and low amount of content.
