While dancing with this item during the Penguin Cup, an icon appeared above the penguin. If another player clicked this icon, they would play Shootouts with the penguin.
After June 26, if a new penguin obtained the ball on a Portuguese server it would say "Bola Árctica", which meant Arctic Ball. This was due to Gajotz asking penguins to give a name to the ball, as many balls used in World Cups are named.[1]
