Cart Surfer is a Club Penguin mini-game that can be played in the Mine. In Cart Surfer, you do various tricks and stunts to earn points, while riding a mine cart on a track. When the player finishes the game, they are directed to the Mine Shack. With the right combination of moves, Cart Surfer can be one of the fastest ways to earn coins in Club Penguin. In the Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force version, you have to jump over rocks and duck to avoid obstacles. In a game where you don't crash, there will be 8 corners. In this game, 'surfing' means to stand up and ride the cart.

History

Cart Surfer was originally known as Cave Runner or Egyptian Cart Surfer. Cave Runner required you to ride around in a mine cart collecting coins. The game was to be played in top-view (eagle eye). This version was scrapped when the idea to make Cart Surfer came. The music that was composed to accompany the game can be found here.

Cart Surfer was released in June 6, 2006. Stamps were released for Cart Surfer on October 4, 2010. Along with stamps, Black Puffles could also play with you.

Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force version

Cart Surfer being played on a DS.

Cart Surfer in Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force is similar to the web version of Cart Surfer. You can play either by using the D-Pad or the stylus. Unlike the web version, there are two modes, Normal Mode and Extreme Mode. Normal Mode is the most similar to the web version with the classic obstacles. Extreme Mode introduces new obstacles such as fallen rocks, vertical tunnels and wooden planks. You cannot play Extreme Mode until you've built your own Mine Cart in Mission 6 to explore the mines.

There is a side-mission where you meet a pink penguin who is scared to play extreme mode. To convince the penguin that it's safe, you have to survive Extreme Mode.

Coin Earning Tips

The most efficient way to get coins on Cart Surfer is to alternate the Back flip and Air Twist, Hand Stand or Run on Rails: a 100 scoring stunt and any of the 80 scoring ones. Rail Grind is the highest scoring stunt for the turns. It also helps to crash a few times near the end, which gives the player more time to do tricks. When you lose a life you get the chance to get in about 2-3 moves in before the next turn so use your lives well and you can get an extra 540-840 points in cart surfer.

An efficient player can earn approximately 500 coins a game. If an efficient player also has every stamp for Cart Surfer, they can earn 1,000 coins.

Tip:Crash in 2000, 3000 and 4000 points to have more time.
