Got five minutes to spare? You can make a lot of coins very quickly in Club Penguin in just five minutes. Everyone knows that to get all the fun stuff in Club Penguin, you need to earn plenty of Club Penguin coins. Although there are now a lot of different ways to earn coins in the game, the only way to get a lot of coins in Club Penguin is to dominate the mini-games. In some of my earlier posts, I’ve talked about the best games for earning coins in Club Penguin and given some tips and tricks on each of the different mini-games, like Cart Surfer and Puffle Round-up. If you play the right games and more importantly, know all the secrets and cheats for each of them, you can earn a lot of coins in Club Penguin very quickly. And that means less time to get all the fun stuff from the catalogs for your penguin and igloo!
Since the Christmas Party just ended and there isn’t much to do on Club Penguin right now, I thought I’d re-visit some of my earlier advice on the mini-games and show you three easy ways to earn 1,000 or more coins in just five minutes. You’ve probably got a few minutes to spare, right? Just follow one of these choices to get some Club Penguin coins quickly without cheating or hacking. Don’t forget, the January, 2010 issue of Club Penguin Style is coming out in just a few days, so now is a perfect time to start piling up the coins.
Cart Surfer
I love Cart Surfer. It’s still my favorite game for earning coins quickly. The nice thing is that there’s just two tricks you need to know and you can just repeat them over and over again and very quickly earn coins. The other nice thing is that the game is over pretty quickly, usually in just about a minute and a half or less. So you can just keep playing it until you can’t take it anymore! So, if you want to earn 1,000 coins in five minutes on Cart Surfer, here’s all you need to know: use the backflip move (press the down arrow and then the space bar) and the jump and spin move (press the space bar and then either the left or right arrow). And alternate between them constantly to get the maximum points. As long as you keep switching between the two moves, you’ll get 100 points for the backflip and 80 points for the jump and spin each time. That adds up to some serious points and coins.
Backflip. Jump/Spin. Backflip. Jump/Spin. That's all you need to know.
I got 1,039 coins in five minutes while playing cart surfer.
Puffle Roundup
Puffle Roundup can either be an insanely fast way to earn coins or a complete disaster of wasted time and frustration. It all depends on knowing and using one key bit of strategy. In this game, which is played in the Pet Shop, you need to herd lots of puffles into a pen. They’ll move along happily as long as you know how to do it properly. The key strategy is to work from the outside of the screen in, using large sweeping motions with your mouse cursor. Don’t move your cursor around in a ton of different directions or you’ll likely push one of the puffles off the edge of the screen and he’ll escape. That will cost you a lot of time and points. Instead, just do large sweeping arc motions until all the puffles are gathered together at the opening of the pen and then shove ‘em in there and collect some amazing amounts of coins.
Just like Cart Surfer, this game goes pretty quickly if you stick with this advice. I got 1,021 coins in five minutes playing Puffle Roundup.
Catchin’ Waves
Catchin’ Waves is one of the newest Club Penguin games and it’s played at the Cove. One of the great things about this game is that there are a lot of different ways to play it. It has three separate modes and with the right techniques, you can get a lot of coins quickly in all three. But I like things easy. And here’s the absolute easiest way to get a lot of coins very fast playing Catchin’ Waves. First, play in Freestyle mode. Start pressing the “D” key repeatedly to do the Dance move. Just keep pressing it very quickly over and over throughout the whole game, because you get 10 points every time you do it. Then, all you need to do is position yourself right near the edge of the wave so that you are, “Shooting the Tube.” Once you’re in that position, you’ll see a little points counter show up next to your penguin. Ideally, you’ll be able to stay in this spot by slowly moving your mouse up and down to maintain a steady pace. If you break out of the tube by going too fast, just slow down and let it catch back up to you a bit. Shooting the tube and repeatedly pressing the D key is a great way to easily rack up a lot of points in this game.

I was able to complete two full runs in five minutes and got 1,003 coins in Catchin’ Waves.
