3	The characters include:
4	* Hammy Fink - A hamster who can be quite competitive. His favorite activity is racing.
5	* Rachel "Ranger" Fink - Hammy's cousin who is pretty much [[OnlyKnownByTheirNickname only known by her nickname]]. She is fluent in Mock Swedish, but only knows a little Mock Korean.
6	* Peepums Fink - Ranger Fink's sister and Hammy's other cousin. She is quite playful.
7	* Mr. Benjamin Raptis - A [[Franchise/TheMuppets Bunsen Honeydew]]-like character who works at Hamster Labs. He is usually called "Professor" by the other characters.
8	* [=OddBall=] Gilligan - An odd hamster who can [[GravityScrew walk up walls]]. Possibly created by putting the Odd Race and Gilligan (from ''Series/GilligansIsland'') in a blender.
9	* Alicia Lily Aska - A giant hamster[[note]]twice as tall as the other hamsters[[/note]] from UsefulNotes/{{Alaska}}. She is Mr. Raptis' assistant at Hamster Labs.

15	----
16	!!''The [=HamsterBall=] Show!'' contains examples of:
17
18	* AccidentalMisnaming: How Ranger Fink got her nickname.
19	* AllThereInTheManual: In the author's comment for the character list, he mentions that Ranger Fink, Peepums, Mr. Raptis, and Squeaks the Mousetrap have names from Hamsterball's default high score table.
20	* AlwaysIdenticalTwins: Lily and Lexi la Meeshwa.
21	* ArcNumber: 26, as is the case with nearly all the author's work. It appears in "The Beginning". A 99 has yet to appear in the show.
22	* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Carla Cakenpresser, a SelfDemonstrating/SwedishChef parody, speaks Mock Swedish. Ranger Fink does too (but she mainly speaks English), and [=OddBall=] apparently knows Mock Korean.
23	* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Alicia was this at first.
24	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: [=FunBall=].
25	** [=OddBall=] counts as well.
26	* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Mr. Raptis is usually called "Professor" by the other characters.
27	* FunnyAnimal: The non-obstacle characters.
28	* FunWithAcronyms: Alicia's name. See below.
29	* GentleGiant: Alicia after [[spoiler:the hamsters rescue her]].
30	* GravityScrew: [=OddBall=] can walk up walls.
31	* ICantHearYou: The Hamsterball of Silence, a parody of Get Smart's Cone of Silence.
32	* InflationaryDialogue: Well, the "Get Fink" episode ''is'' a Get Smart parody.
33	-->'''Ranger Fink:''' I happen to be an expert on escaping from these traps. Why, I've learned all kinds of escapes from watching four straight hours of ''Series/MythBusters''! Would you believe it? Four hours of ''[=MythBusters=]''!\
34	'''Bonk the Hammer:''' I find that hard to believe.\
35	'''Ranger Fink:''' Would you believe three hours of ''Series/GilligansIsland''?\
36	'''Bonk:''' I don't think so.\
37	'''Ranger Fink:''' How about half an hour of ''Series/OddSquad''?
38	* MeaningfulName: The town of Rodentia is inhabited by rodents.
39	** [=OddBall=] looks odd with her strange hairstyle and mismatched shoes, and she can even [[GravityScrew walk up walls]]!
40	** Alicia's first and middle initials, combined with her last name, reveal where she's from. (A. L. Aska)
41	** [=FunBall=], a fun-loving {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
42	** Lily and Lexi la Meeshwa. Their last name comes from the sound that plays whenever someone teleports due to touching one of them.
43	** Spinner the Gear.
44	** Bonk the Hammer. He likes bonking the hamsters (unless they're his patients at Hamsterball Hospital).
45	** Carla Cakenpresser. Before becoming a Hamsterball obstacle, she apparently had a job at a bakery, flattening cakes (for an unknown reason).
46	** Ruby the Rocket, who is colored red.[[note]]Interestingly, the Daredevil Race (which is a race created by the author) is mainly yellow![[/note]]
47	** Gary Granite. He's a rock.
48	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Ranger Fink. In fact, the only character who calls her Rachel (which is her real name) is Mr. Raptis.
49	* TheProfessor: Mr. Raptis.
50	* PunnyName:
51	** Nowya Simi, AKA Nowya Dont. She has the ability to turn invisible.
52	** Pokey Dot.
53	** Alicia Lily Aska. [[UsefulNotes/{{Alaska}} Guess where she's from]].[[note]]pun: A. L. Aska[[/note]]
54	** Ella Vator. She's an elevator from the Up Race.
55	** Haylie the Comet. Yes, [[SpellMyNameWithAnS that's how her name's spelled]]. She's actually not from any canon race, but rather, from a race created by the author: the Space Race.
56	** Minnie the Mini 8-Ball.
57	* ShoePhone: Ranger Fink is shown to have one at the beginning of the "Get Fink" story.
58	* ShoutOut: The entire chapter where [=OddBall=]'s last name is revealed has references to all seven castaways on ''Series/GilligansIsland''.
59	** If not for the author mentioning it, [[StealthPun it would be very unlikely to find a reference to the Howells]].
60	** The entire "Get Fink" story, including the title, is a reference to ''Series/GetSmart''.
61	** In the "would you believe" sequence in that story, Ranger Fink mentions ''Series/MythBusters'', ''Series/GilligansIsland'', and ''Series/OddSquad'', in that order.
62	*** Then Bonk references an ''episode'' of ''Series/OddSquad''!
63	* StealthPun: The reference to the Howells in the chapter "Agent Gilligan" is the words "how will".
64	* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Alicia Lily Aska. In other words: A. L. Aska.
