Backgrounds

From Club Penguin Wiki

(Redirected from Background)
The Nov. 2007 backgrounds.

Backgrounds are special images designed to decorate one's player card. When placed on, they are located behind your penguin. They were first available on May 30, 2006. They are always available to all players. Backgrounds can be bought in Penguin Style, Costume Trunk, Snow and Sport Catalogs and sometimes on Party Catalogs for 60 coins each. In every new sport, costume and clothing catalog, Club Penguin either releases a new background or brings back an old one.

If you meet Rockhopper, the Penguin Band, Gary, Cadence, Aunt Arctic, or Sensei they will give you a signed background when you click on a special button on their player card. Also, players can obtain backgrounds by completing Scavenger Hunts such as The Band's Instrument Hunt, Light Bulb Hunt, Easter Scavenger Hunts and Halloween Candy Hunts.

Backgrounds can be bought in the Costume Trunk at The Stage ever since the encore of the Space Adventure play.

When Rockhopper is in Disney World, a code is given and you can get an Exclusive Background.

[edit] Trivia

  • The rarest backgrounds are The Penguin Band's '06 Background (Probably the rarest, only obtained from finding all the bands instruments after they lost them during the first Wild West party), Rockhopper's, Gary's, The Penguin Band's Newer Background, Aunt Arctic's, Cadence's, Sensei's, and the Unlockable Exclusive Background.
    • However, when that famous penguin is on the island, more people get the background so it becomes less rare, until the pengiun leaves the island.
  • The only secret backgrounds were the Noir Background and the Penguin Play Awards background in the Costume Trunk during the Ruby and the Ruby play, and the Penguin Play Awards 2009 respectively.
  • It is possible to see all backgrounds that Club Penguin has ever released by going to this SWF and changing the number at the end to between 901 and 999, and between 9000 and 9043.
  • All the autographs except the Rockhopper Autograph were available for Members only, but they are now available to all penguins, since the Penguin Play Awards 2009.
  • Gary's background has recently been flipped, making Gary and his signature go to the right of the player card, rather then the left. This was so his face wasn't covered up if the player wore a pin on their player card.
  • The Exclusive Background features Rockhopper and a blue penguin (who could possibly be Bambadee). It also contains a puffle, for which unknown reasons it is not on the one out now, and it could only be seen from the SWF file of the background.
  • In May 2009, a new Rockhopper Autograph was given out, it features Rockhopper and Yarr walking out of an over grown Migrator.
  • Sensei now gives out a background.
  • When you put a background on your penguin, it looks like your penguin is in the background and if the Famous Penguin hand is out it will be on your penguin's shoulder.
  • Some players use Penguin Storm to obtain unavailible backgrounds.
  • Many penguins call backgrounds BG's.
