History VideoGame / ClubPenguin

* RedOniBlueOni: Teams on Club Penguin are almost always divided into reds and blues.

''Club Penguin'' was [[DefunctOnlineVideoGames shut down]] on March 29, 2017, and replaced by ''Club Penguin Island'', which too was shut down on December 20, 2018. The original game lived on through private servers that dedicated old fans have set up, but most of them were shut down in 2020 after The Walt Disney Company sent DMCA takedowns to nearly all those private servers after child predator allegations were made against an English admin who worked on the popular private server ''Club Penguin Online''. For a while, ''Club Penguin Rewritten'' (another popular private server) was the most popular private server, and the developers of it are working on converting it to HTML so it will live on after Flash dies; however, as of April 13, 2022, it too was met with a DMCA takedown, leaving the fate of all ''Club Penguin'' private servers and their ability to live past the death of Flash much grimmer. While other private servers still exist (there's [[https://cpforever.org Club Penguin Forever]], [[https://cplegacy.com Club Penguin Legacy]], and [[https://newcp.net/en New Club Penguin]]), only time will tell whether they will stay up.

* VideoGame3DLeap: The UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} game ''Club Penguin: Game Day!'', the mobile app for ''Club Penguin'' (originally called ''My Penguin''), the ''Sled Racer'' and ''Puffle Wild'' mobile games, and ''Club Penguin Island'' are sequels to ''Club Penguin'' that are in 3D.

* ResortToPouting: In the ''Paint By Letters'' novel "Lime Green Dojo Clean", when the janitor decides what to do when all of their options of stopping the Dojo from being vandalized fail, and the player has the option to either [[SuddenlyShouting shout]] or pout, which results in [[StoryBranching one of two endings]]. When choosing to pout, a penguin inside the vat of lime green paint pops out, and she suggests using an inflatable rubber octopus to clean up the paint after the party's over.

* SamusIsAGirl: At the end of Operation: Blackout, it's revealed that [[spoiler: Aunt Arctic is the director of the Elite Penguin Force]], which was quite a shock to some players who believed that the Director was a male at first.

* FriendlyGhost: "Ghosts Just Wanna Dance" is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin. In the music video, The ghosts of Cadence and the Penguin Band greet 3 innocent penguins as friendly and music-loving. [[InvoluntaryTransformation The penguins don't mind being turned into ghosts too.]]

* StockDinosaurs: The genera you can transform into in Prehistoric Party 2013 are ''Tyrannosaurus rex'', ''Triceratops'', and ''Pteranodon''. The 2014 one adds in ''Stegosaurus'' and a ''Deinonychus''-like raptor (with [[ShownTheirWork feathers]]).

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: The Prehistoric Parties exist for this reason, for they have you going back to the Mesozoic and turning into dinosaurs (and a ''Pteranodon'').

* FantasticFaunaCounterpart: The Animal Puffles, such as the Border Collie, Tabby Cat, Unicorn, Rabbit, Raccoon, and Deer puffles, which serve as the penguin's counterpart to the animals these puffles are based on.

** ''Island''. Practically everything that isn't related to the main story (and even most of the main story itself) is blocked behind a paywall. It's to the point that even the most basic actions you can do in the original are locked off. Better hope you can afford $6 a month.

* PermanentlyMissableContent: UpToEleven. Plenty of items and parties never returned.

* AdvancedTech2000: Gary ''loves'' adding big numbers to his inventions. Usually it's "3000", but he also uses "2000" and "1000" for prototypes.

** The symbol used by the Director is the ''28''th symbol of the "Tic-Tac-Toe" code, which is one letter off the alphabet. Some interpretations would list this as [[spoiler:[=AA=], which are Aunt Arctic's initals.]]

This little browser game, launched in 2005 and acquired by Creator/{{Disney}} in 2007, centered on users' personal penguin avatars, and their little lives. The game was somewhere in between a social network and a life simulation. Players could chat with other people, buy and care for a pet, buy clothes, buy and furnish your igloo, and even change the color of your little penguin avatar. All of this was paid for by little minigames you could play in the little world. Some games were competitions with other penguins, while some were solo games. However, most of the interesting things you could buy, you could get [[AllegedlyFreeGame only if you paid for your account]].

** Continue to the next level on games such as Jetpack Adventure.

* {{Crossover}}: The Take Over events, which are basically ProductPlacement of Creator/{{Disney}} media. These include Creator/MarvelComics, ''Franchise/StarWars'', ''WesternAnimation/Frozen2013'', ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'', and ''Franchise/TheMuppets''.

%%* EveryoneCallsHerBarkeep: The Puffle Handler, who is otherwise called "PH".

* EverybodyCallsHimBarkeep: The Puffle Handler, who is otherwise called "PH".

* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: This can be invoked by your own penguin with shirts, pants, dresses, formal wear, swimsuits and even [[NonMammalianHair wigs]]. This trope is fully emphasized in promotional artwork and media especially after 2013, to the point where they look like [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman miniature teenagers]] [[UncannyValley with beaks and big eyes]].

[[NoPlotNoProblem The game itself didn't provide much in terms of story.]] The closest thing to a plot the game provided came in the form of the Penguin Security Agency's missions, in which the player had to protect the island from any threats. Most of these threats came from Herbert P. Bear, a polar bear who floated to the island via iceberg and tried to wreak havoc on the islanders, and Klutzy, his pet crab. After the eleventh mission, the PSA was disbanded and turned into the Elite Penguin Force.

* CuckooClockGag: The ski lodge has a cuckoo clock that goes off every half-hour. The clockwork bird's name is Fred the Clockwork Cuckoo, or otherwise simply Fred.
