Club Penguin has Lore? I need to know what the peck Club Penguin Lore could possibly be. Please yes infodump Club Penguin Lore.
I’m going to happy cry thank you
I wrote it all down in my notes app so I’m just going to copy and paste it all under the cut. Keep in mind this is all from memory so I might have forgotten some details
Ok so our main story starts with Herbert P. Bear, a polar bear who lived in the club penguin world. When he was a young cub he dreamt of leaving his small island he lived on and finding a place to make into a tropical paradise to call home, so he got on an iceberg and started his journey floating through the ocean, during which he met a crab named Klutzy who he let travel with him. Eventually, Herbert arrived at an island, only to discover it was inhabited by penguins. He was incredibly annoyed by their partying and dancing and jokes so he made a plan to take over Penguin Island and destroy every penguin to turn it into his dream paradise. A few penguins however, discovered Herbert’s existence and realized how dangerous he is. So they formed a secret agency made to keep the public unaware of Herbert, but also to protect the island from him; the Elite Penguin Force, or, the EPF. It’s run by someone known as the director, Aka the head of the club penguin news paper, “the penguin times”, Aunt Arctic, as well as a scientist named Gary the Gadget guy, and agents referred to as Jetpack Guy, Dot the disguise Gal, and Rookie, along with their new agent: you! The player, who is commonly referred to by the fandom as just Agent.
Skipping the plot of every single EPF mission you can play through in club penguin, because they just lead to telling you what I already did, Herbert eventually does build a machine that traps the EPF inside their headquarters building and blow it up, effectively putting his plan in action. But lucky for the EPF, Dot the disguise gal was already on it and figured that out, and her and the director got them a new base and a new undercover agency name after they were able to escape the building in time: the Penguin Secret Agency, Aka the PSA. Later though, Herbert started operation blackout, where he made a machine that blocked the sun and created darkness all over the island. Luckily the Agent was able to stop him again by outsmarting him and destroying the machine. Next was operation hot sauce, where Herbert seemed to have stolen pizza ingredients for an unknown cause. This event was short, and seemed useless until operation Puffle, where it’s discovered the pizza ingredients were used to kidnap and brain wash puffles (a species of pets in club penguin), to do his bidding. Once again the agent does end up outsmarting him and defeating him saving Penguin Island again.
Next is the lore of the 2DS games! There are two. So in the first club penguin DS game, Elite Penguin Force, we find what’s considered to be the canon way agent got into the EPF, through training and team work with the remaining members. It’s supposed to be short and fun. In the second one, Herberts revenge, it takes place after the final EPF mission with the PSA, but before operation blackout. To summarize, Herbert is back and the agents need to find out his plans. Agent sneaks into his base and takes pictures for clues, dot gets a klutzy disguise, and you find out Herbert’s plan is to flood the island, but this backfires on him when he remembers he can’t swim. Begrudgingly the PSA saves him and the director plans to cover it up with the Pool Party event that actually did happen in club penguin. With the 2DS club penguin games they actually introduce a new character that wasn’t used much in the computer game: PH, or, puffle handler, who trained the EPF and PSA’s special puffles that we’re used to help the agent along the game.
Now that was the secret Agent lore. Next is the ninja lore!
So in club penguin there are 4 main ninja elements, Sensei, an old gray penguin, being the master of them all who also discovered them and teaches any penguin willing to listen how to master them themselves. There’s cardjitsu, where you fight with elemental cards to earn your black belt, there’s firejitsu, where you fight with fire to earn your fire gear, there’s waterjitsu, where you fight with water to earn your water gear, and the final one: snowjitsu. Where you earn snow gear. Snowjitsu is the one where you actually get lore and they changed the gameplay style.
Basically, A long time ago sensei had an apprentice, a walrus named Tusk. He was like a son to him, and he trained him as best as he could. Tusk though, was jealous of the other ninjas in training, who could easily master the elements they chose. Tusk wanted to master all the elements, but sensei didn’t think he was ready. So, to prove his strength, Tusk challenged sensei to a duel. Tusk let his anger out on his master and Sensei went too far trying to show him he wasn’t strong enough. In the end they created a huge blizzard that buried everything. While trying to find his apprentice, sensei found a broken tusk in the snow.
Feeling heartbroken he assumed the walrus was dead, and left, not knowing tusk was trapped inside an icy cave and still alive. He thought sensei had abandoned him, so he stayed in the cave, letting his anger grow. He mastered all the elements himself, even using snow to create an army of sentient snowmen. His new goal was to find sensei and get his revenge. After sensei found out about the snowmen, and that his apprentice is still alive, he sends 3 ninjas, each of a different element, after tusk to find him and take down the snowmen along the way. In the end, they defeat tusk, and while still angry he compliments sensei on his skills of training the penguins the way he didn’t train him, and disappears, promising to return one day. Sadly because Disney shut down club penguin for good we’re never gonna get an official conclusion on if he meant to go through on his final words or not.
i think the weirdest flash interest/fixation i have right now is on card jitsu from club penguin and specifically card jitsu. like ??!?! i just want it back
also read below if you wanna hear my rambles on card jitsu
so card jitsu is a gamemode in old club penguin made up of 4 games i desperately want pirated or something.
the first gamemode, card jitsu classic, is the basics. the building blocks. you play karate with cards and an elements system that is somehow even more basic than the avatar one.
the goal of the game is to outsmart and beat each player with each element (OR beat them three times with the same element), having a greater number value and element than your opponent.
you climb up in belts (i think it goes white, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple, brown and black) and in the end with a black belt you try and defeat sensei which is this pretty difficult ai from what i remember. and once you beat him, you get a ninja mask and become a ninja!
i had the card jitsu handbook (2011) way before i played the game so i’m aware before card jitsu snow there was a secret room only ninjas could go in next to the dojo. it was removed i believe when card jitsu snow launched but i don’t know because when i joined the card jitsu saga was already completed, so.
card jitsu fire had to take some memory jogging, but here it is. basically the object of the game is to keep your energy points and drain the other player’s. you first chose a tile which gave a random battle of any element, and you had to choose one element to battle, preferably the one you had the strongest card in. then the other player had to battle you with another card and whoever won got to keep their energy
every won battle contributed to earning a fire suit, which was a suit that when put together did a cool animation. you had to battle sensei again to be a full fire ninja though, and he was difficult.
card jitsu water was probably the most annoying of the three games imo. basically it was a tile based game with a time limit (if you ran out you would lose) where you would pick a card, play an element on one of the tiles around you and move forward. you could play an element to move forward in your game, like a fire card to destroy a bunch of snow, or you could play to inconvenience the other players.
worked the same as fire. every battle won got you closer to completing the water suit, and to become a water ninja you had to battle sensei.
i couldn’t find a pic of someone in game using it so bear with me lole
finally, card jitsu snow. HOLY SHIT I MISS THIS GAME
card jitsu snow was a lot different from any of the other games, like way different. first it was built in another engine so it ran like ass and it’s matchmaking system was utter dog shit, but once you got over that then its the best game in club penguin.
in snow, you played with three other people and you picked an element to play with. these varied in range, damage and other abilities (snow had healing powers).
the object of the game was to make it all three rounds in the snow mountains, defeating snowmen monsters (i think they’re called tusk’s henchmen but i can’t be sure) without dying. and it was easy to die, so most games never made it past round 1. but a cool thing about this one is that you earned exp to get a snow suit even if you lost, and you got more exp the farther into the game you got.
as you got farther along in your exp journey you unlocked mini cutscenes that explained the relationship between sensei and this guy named tusk, going from childhood friends to arch enemies. that was a cool thing they didn’t have to do but it makes it all the better.
the cool thing about snow is that your journey wasn’t over once you got your suit and the snow gem. after you got the gem you could defeat tusk (which was a fucking HARD ai) and once you got over that, there were more awards to collect. and not to brag but also to brag, i got all of them before the game shut down B)
and also, here’s what the snow suit looks like in action.
thanks saraapril i hope ur doing ok
and thats it, thats my ramble on all you need to know about card jistu. anyways i’m gonna go hibernate now
