Dark Warriors of Club Penguin

Hello Dark Warriors! With so many new catalogs being released by the Club Penguin Journey team recently, many penguins have been strapped for cash and not able to buy everything they want. I’m sure we all wish we were the richest penguins on the island, right? Coins are hard to come by, and that’s why there are so many mini-games for you to play and earn cash in! This CP Journey Cart Surfer walkthrough will show you how to earn as many coins as possible while collecting every stamp!

The Basics of Cart Surfer

Cart Surfer is one of the most popular minigames on the Club Penguin Journey island, particularly because of how simple it is: you perform stunts and tricks to earn points while surfing a mine cart. Compared with games such as Catchin’ Waves or Smoothie Smash, it’s much easier to earn coins consistently in Cart Surfer with minimal effort. Based on a CPJourney Coin Chart by Yosh2, you can take in a total of 60,000 coins per hour, making Cart Surfer one of the quickest ways to earn coins.

• The Goal: Perform stunts and tricks while surfing a mine cart along a track to earn points.
• Speed: As you advance, the cart gets faster. Unlike other games, Cart Surfer has an end, marked by a giant white light at the end of the tunnel.
• Three Lives: Penguins have three lives while surfing, so if you fall once or twice, don’t worry, because you can still continue your run!
• Best Tip: Bring your Black Puffle along, as they help you recover from a wobble much more easily. If you aren’t too confident with the game, it’s always best to take them with you!

Cart Surfer Tricks

CP Journey Cart Surfer Stamp Walkthrough

There are a total of twelve stamps available to obtain across the game – 1 easy stamp, 5 medium stamps, 5 hard stamps and 1 extreme stamp. They range from recovering from wobbles to combining all the tricks and stunts to earn coins, so there’s plenty to guide you through! Collecting every stamp also doubles the coins you earn from each run.

Easy Stamps

Let’s start with a quick win!

Great Balance Stamp

Earning this stamp is as easy as counting to three! You simply have to recover from a wobble, as can be seen in the stamp image. The easiest way is to hold the right or left arrow key until you begin to wobble, then stop pressing the button to recover.

Medium Stamps

Although these are medium difficulty, the stamps in this category aren’t as difficult as they’re made out to be!

Cart Pro Stamp

This one is just as easy as the first stamp, but you have to do more than one trick this time! Perform different stunts and you’ll have earned 150 coins by the end of the game, earning you the Cart Pro Stamp.

Mine Marvel Stamp

The main objective to earn this stamp is to do any of the tricks below 10 times in the game. You’re not required to do all of the tricks, but make sure a combination of them is performed 10 times. If you find this stamp difficult, don’t worry, as you can crash your cart to give you more time!

• Jump
• Turn (left and right are separate)
• Cart Grind (left and right are separate)
• Spin (left and right are separate)
• Leap
• Cart Slam
• Flip

Mine Mission Stamp

Now it’s time to play Subway Surfers, but in Club Penguin! Who knew penguins could run on train tracks? This one is slightly harder than the previous stamp, as you now have to perform 10 of the tricks below in one game. Don’t worry if you don’t get it on your first try, because you have three lives to help you complete it!

• Surf Jump
• Surf Turn (left and right are separate)
• Handstand
• Run on tracks

Trick Master Stamp

These penguins seem quite talented if they can do a handstand while surfing a cart! For this stamp, it gets a bit more complicated, as you need to complete 14 different tricks. Unlike before, you can’t repeat tricks! Jump does not count as a trick, but all other movements do. Do one of each stunt and you’ll have earned this stamp!

Puffle Power Stamp

This one is identical to the very first stamp, but this time you can bring your sidekick! Bring your Black Puffle along while playing the game, recover from a wobble, and you’ll have earned this stamp!

Hard Stamps

Now we’re hitting the harder stamps, so take your time and don’t be afraid to try again.

Cart Expert Stamp

Similar to the Cart Pro stamp, this time you need to earn 250 coins in one game. Perform a variety of tricks and stunts and, by the end of the game, you’ll have earned this stamp!

Mine Grinder Stamp

You’ll need to grind around 8 corners to earn this stamp. Press the down button while turning, and by the time the game has finished, you’ll have completed this one.

Surf’s Up Stamp

Catchin’ Waves, but on a mine track, who says no? This one is almost identical to the stamp above, but this time you have to surf around 8 corners. The simplest way to complete it is to press the up arrow key when turning a corner.

Flip Mania Stamp

Is this gymnastics or is it a Club Penguin minigame? This is your first really challenging stamp and you might struggle, so listen up! To earn it, you need to flip your cart twenty times in a row without crashing. Be careful, because no other tricks can be used during your run!

Ultimate Duo Stamp

Time to partner up! Grab your Black Puffle to help you with this stamp. Perform 20 tricks in one game with your Black Puffle equipped. If you need more time, crash your cart and give yourself a second chance.

Extreme Stamps

Last but not least, we’re at the extreme stamp!

Cart Master Stamp

Although this is considered extreme, it’s one of the easier stamps to get. Combine all the tricks and stunts listed at the start of this guide, collect 350 coins, and you’ll have earned this stamp by the time you finish! The strategy below will give you the best chance of completing it with ease.

CP Journey Cart Surfer Optimal Strategy [Crash Bonus & Timing]

Crashing on purpose in CP Journey Cart Surfer gives you an extra life. With four lives you can earn more coins and perform more tricks and stunts. On a regular run you’ll have 8 turns, but with a strategy you can extend that to 13 turns.

To time it perfectly, you need to crash on a certain turn after every life:

1. First life: Crash on the sixth turn.
2. Second life: Multiple turn patterns can appear, depending on your score and the tunnel layout, so check the table below.
3. Third life: Crash on the second turn.
4. Fourth life: Don’t crash at all, just finish the game.

The table below lists all the possible patterns you may see when you enter your second life:
