Cart Surfer

Hey Penguins!


Many penguins ask what the best game to earn coins off of is. Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder, most beholder's idea of beauty is Cart Surfer. (What I mean is that even though everyone's opinions are different, most people think that Cart Surfer is the best money making game.)


Seeing that it so important to know how to play Cart Surfer, I decided it was time to describe the game. Here I'll tell you about the easiest way to earn coins when playing it!






  • When not turning, switch out between these two combinations: down arrow key and space to do a back flip, and space and the left or right arrow key to do the spin. Never do either combos twice (or more) in a row because you will get half as many points as normal. (So if you got 100 points off a back flip, you get 50 the second, third, etc. time in a row. Alternate between the back flip and the spin to get alot of points.

  • When you are approaching a turn, press the down arrow key to do a wheelie. Make sure you're still doing a wheelie when you get right to the turn, and if you still do the wheelie while turning, you grind! You can get tons of points off of grinding, so learn to do it...!


  • If you aren't too good yet and always lose lives at the turns because you're too busy doing a combo when you get to the turn, when you see the arrows along the wall, stop your turns and get ready!


Take a look at these pictures to see the different types of combos and moves!

The Spin (above)

The Back Flip (above)

There you go! Now you know how to get lots of coins. Also, if you want to know how to determine your coins before you get them, just take off the last number, so if your score was 3442, then you would get 344 coins!

Baffle Your Buddies Part One

Pssttt... Penguins...


Want to know some ways to baffle your buddies, or puzzle your pals? I know some dumb tricks that you can use to walk in the sky, or bypass stairs in the lighthouse, and some other neat cheats! Sound interesting? Well, then you have to read this entry.





Okay, trick number one is bypassing staircases. Go to the bottom floor of the lighthouse. Can you tell where I am? I'm the blue penguin that's waving, and where I am is where you have to be standing when you do this cheat. Here's what you do:





  1. Once you are where I am, click the door, and as soon as you start to move towards the door, click the highest staircase... the one that is right behind that pink penguin.

  2. With practice, you should be able to walk straight up the the wall and not even have to go up the bottom staircase.

  3. Please note that you may have to try this several times before it works. It's more fun when someone is going up the regular stairs while you climb the wall, because you get in front of them and they'll get annoyed!



  1. Go to the ski mountain, and start to walk toward Bunny Hill.

  2. On your way there, click the map. Don't touch anything on the map just yet.

  3. When the message pops up asking you if you want to join the sled race, click "yes".

  4. As soon as you start to go down the mountain, click the Town on the map.

  5. Once you're in the town, type any letter you want WITHOUT typing it into a chat bar. You should start to climb up the Coffee Shop!
  6. The only ways I know that you can get down are by use of the map and clicking the door of any one of the buildings in the Town.

This last cheat is for people who prefer the Standard Safe Chat. You can, in fact, talk using Standard Safe Chat in the Ultimate Safe Chat servers (such as the Australian server's Ice Cube)!

To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Once you are in the Ultimate Safe Chat server, click edit account. It's the button in the bottom right-hand corner of your chat bar, and it's the little question mark.
  2. Unclick "Ultimate Safe Chat".
  3. Enter another room.
  4. Now you talk using Standard Safe Chat! This should make things ten times easier for some people...

Have fun freaking out your friends!
