in 1st grade i stole a classmates mazin hamster.. my teacher had our whole class look all over the room for it and it took a while but no one knew it was in my backpack. i don’t feel bad tho because she was really mean to me so i think it was justified
I have a very similar story to you LOL: When I was in 4th grade Shopkins were REALLY popular and me and my friends used to bring our Shopkins collections to school and we would trade Shopkins during recess! But one day I was at recess and I was on the playground with my friends and my Shopkins were in my lunchbox and then when we got back to class my Shopkins were gone and I thought somebody stole them! My class had to look all over for them but it ended up that they just fell out of my backpack LOL one of the boys in my class found them for me and then my teacher banned Shopkins from the classroom (she was a strict teacher LOL)
@@CCClarinet12 i always read stories like this and im just shocked and appaled in envy bc we were never allowed to bring toys to school at any level in my experience. only when i was in high school and fidget toys were a cool mainstream thing to have
mazin hamsters was an icon. the blueprint. the yellow honeycomb maze and the tree maze were my favvv 😭😭😭 the zem’s were really fun too but the hamsters took the ball w this one
omggg i was OBSESSED with mazin hamsters and especially their cute plushies and remember begging my mom for them. i remember having petunia and others. but i also am like WHAT tf is hamster hamlet?? i was also hyper fixated on the mazes like the lagoon?? where was all this. i also remember back in 2010-2012 i would exhaust the youtube search engines with all things mazin hamsters so im even more surprused i didnt know more
Omg the memories… I had about 5 of these, including the pink and purple one. One day I “lost her” and cried until my mom took me to the store for a replacement… only for us to find out too late that she was in my backpack the whole time.
thanks for making this video! sorry for the really long comment, i just have a lot of memories attached to this game haha the challenge zones were my favorite thing about this game! i especially loved the mountain zone (which had a lot of castle type stuff and some flying machines for some reason) and the lagoon zone! the lagoon zone had the WORST loading time though, even slower than moolah mountain, and moolah mountain loaded so slowly that the loading screen had its own special music! i didn't actually use the mazin' mall that much. i mostly got my maze pieces from gift grab or had my hamsters build the maze pieces that i wanted. you could assign your different hamsters to different build jobs every day, and the more hamsters you put on a job, the less time it would take to complete! i got most of my special maze rooms that way. one of my favorite maze rooms was the car wash room! it was a little car wash for your hamster ball, and it played this fun jazzy music that i liked a lot. i also really liked the outdoor garden-themed rooms! i remember there was one called "halcyon garden." another room i remember really well was the fruit pillars room, which had a floor made of these fruit-themed square pillars that would go up and down. also there was the trapeze room, where your hamster would swing across the blue abyss while happy music and "ooh's" and "ahh's" played in the background. a room that kind of unsettled me was the bridge room, because the rope bridge would swing back and forth with a really loud creaking sound effect, and there were these really loud repetitive bird sounds too. for some reason i was SO TERRIFIED of the bouncing cherries in the cake roll room. if i was in a maze and saw a cake roll in the distance or heard the cherry bouncing sound effect, i would run away haha key craze also stresses me out a lot because of the time limit dshfkjdshfkjdshkj
I remember on the intro to the 3D explore worlds there was a little about page that talked about each world. On one of them there was a halfway cut-off line that said “Make sure to talk to-“ but the rest was missing and there was no way to scroll. I spent hours searching all of the 3D worlds and researching online for more info on this mysterious person to talk to but never found anything. That’s always what I think of when I remember this game 😂
hello! im working on a rewrite of this game and your comment made me curious so i had to look that up for you! i have the original source code including localization so here you go: "Travel down the marked paths to visit the Forest, Mountain, or Lagoon! Explore and collect Moolah in each, or try completing challenges! Don't forget to talk to Tinker and see what he's working on!". dont ask me whos tinker cause i have no idea xD
@@mandmrocks533 from digging a little bit deeper into the code, Tinker was supposed to be an NPC with daily fetch quests and it looked like the player was supposed to help them build some sort of machine from the parts they find. also there are 3 more NPCs that i can find called Bolts, Bricks and Grease which are supposedly Tinker's helpers from the dialogue! just thought its neat to share :P
@@yuyu87155 Dude that’s awesome! Honestly i feel so weirdly validated rn bc I knew there was something but I couldn’t find anything lol. You said you were working on a rewrite of the game. Would this be like a remake kind of like the fan remake of club penguin? Sounds like a really cool project!
@@mandmrocks533 it would be similar! my rewrite wont be hosted on a server though, it would be a standalone downloadable game. its a really lengthy process though, cause mazin hamsters was written around... 2009 and lots of the code is just not usable anymore, so theres ALOT to fix sadly. im currently working on restoring moolah mountain!
I had watched my older sister play webkins a lot but my introduction to playing it myself was mazin hamsters. We had honey and hope, and playing mazin hamsters is like a core memory from my childhood and I too am incredibly distraught to find out it's gone (almost 9 years late)
i forgot abt the zums!! i had one and he was so grumpy 😭 i had a mazin hamster but could not get past the lag on our old ass computer 💀 edit: U KNOW PIXIE HOLLOW TOO ??
I never got to play it (my family had a slow computer that wouldn’t let me play it an error just popped up) (BTW I had pixie and I renamed her to Pinkie and I just played with her on regular webkinz cuz I couldn’t get mazin hamsters to work)

the amount of times mazin hamsters caused my computer to crash but by god was i addicted to making those tunnels
bro Stop i LOVED mazin hamsters 😭 i would explore the lagoon for literal hours and i made and played so many tube mazes
STOP I MISS THIS SO MUCH, I would play the mazes literally all the time
You should do a follow up on the zums! I literally wrote books set in the zum world as a kid (so fanfiction before I knew what it was lol)
WAIT you are so right i should, cause i was obsessed with the zums but never got to do anything in their world cause i didn’t have one
@@lulaloopsey I didn’t have one either LOL
@@lulaloopsey yes omg! They have lore too if I remember right! Love your content :)

Your Webkinz eyeliner is such a slay
i only remember the lagoon zone girl😭😭 you could go on a boat ride and it’s so nostalgic to me!

I haven’t logged into my Webkinz account since 2015, but the moment they’ll announce they’re bringing back Mazin Hamsters I’ll be back.
I remember having hope but i never even knew they had a game

OMG I discovered this video on the anniversary of Mazin Hamsters closing down!! RIP 😭
Omg starting the video now but I literally own 30+ of these bad boys!! They're so skrunkly
I even owned a backpack with holes so they could see outside of it while I went on adventures
need to get mine out the attic they are adorable
OH MY GOD i'm so glad you have a video on this !!! /
There is never a day i don't miss mazin hamsters
Ganz should re-release this as it's own thing. I'm sure it would do super well
i forgot abt the zums!! i had one and he was so grumpy 😭 i had a mazin hamster but could not get past the lag on our old ass computer 💀
edit: U KNOW PIXIE HOLLOW TOO ??
YESS PIXIE HOLLOW WAS SO FUN
OMG I MISS THIS SO MUCH :(( if you haven't already you should make a video on Ganz's Amazing World game! It was so much fun and i miss it
Augh!! I loved Mazin Hamsters when I was little! Ended up missing it to the point where I started rebuilding the Lagoon Zone on Minecraft lol
I just submitted to your recent video idea doc requesting this hahaha. I'll be watching this now 😂
yesss! I went crazy for mazin hamsters and mazin world as a kid!
I would pay for this to be re released. Need it so bad 😢 we should petition this to Ganz
Omg i had petunia and fresco as a kid i loved them!
i'm literally sourcing this for an essay because it's so great, you are a godsend!!
I have played this game. I love it so much.
I never got to play it (my family had a slow computer that wouldn’t let me play it an error just popped up)
(BTW I had pixie and I renamed her to Pinkie and I just played with her on regular webkinz cuz I couldn’t get mazin hamsters to work)
I never got to play mazin' hamsters sadly. Wish I could have sine I love hamsters so much
The plushies are sooo cute
I’ve got all sixteen and then some.
can't believe they canceled that..😢
They have to bring it back
I used to play that i think!
Why did browsers stop supporting it anyways?
RIP npapi
Wait picxi hallow is gone off Webkinz? When did this happen?
💜💜💜
OH MY GOD i'm so glad you have a video on this !!! /
