Club Penguin was something I've heard of back in Feb. 2009. I saw that everyone was playing this penguin game in libraries, stores, etc, and I probably got jealous/upset about that cuz I thought the game looked really cool, and nobody would let me play it. That changed in the next month when I got to play this anticipating game, which changed my life forever in how I make my own username, what animal I like, what friend I had, and what I main now in Smash.
Mewpup was created on 3/28/2009 by my sister in school probably in the computer lab, where she saw others playing it, thus changing my life forever on how I play games. April was probably when I started playing the game and after that, when I always started my dad's Windows XP PC especially his laptop (which is now mine), I usually got really excited when I heard the the fan and the beeping, and the boot screen showed up because two things combined told me that the computer was working and I would get to spend hours and hours on this one single game. My sister probably showed me how to play CP, and how to move my penguin around (which then I felt comfortable enough to waddle around by myself). I remember hitting the link in my favorites to play, which was really helpful because I wouldn't always have to search for it and that would've been a nightmare spending just a few seconds typing the game in without misspelling. Whenever I got to the home screen for any kind of reason, I didn't even know which link it was to play the game, until I later pressed that big blue button that said "PLAY NOW!" (I didn't know why I just didn't hit the previous button, I probably didn't know about that yet). I remember one of the earliest things I've done in CP was moving my mouse over one of those blue arrow signs in the Town. Probably because of that April Fools' Party, the arrows spun, so it inspired me to do the same thing in on of my local malls by spinning the trash lids and having them spin more than 360° (later, I tried doing that, but they didn't spin anymore). I use to probably use one of the five suggested servers, until I found the server Blizzard cuz it had 2 Zs, like pizza, and it was probably a suggested server I saw. Later, I would go and see more servers and usually go on Abominable, because it was the first alphabetically, and if that server was full, Alaska it was.
In every servers no matter what, I would be so naked and alone without my red Puffle, Roozy. So eventually every time I started the game, I would first go to my igloo, bathe him, give him Puffle O's so he could have full energy, health, and rest, then walk him (I never knew I has to spend coins to feed and bathe him, so I thought it was free the whole time. You see, I was 5 that year, so I could barely read English). I always had him so close to me. I usually never walked my Blue Puffle, Bloomie, although doing it just made me uncomfortable cuz he couldn't play any games. I was always excited when Roozy finally used his cannon at times because most of the time, he used to always play with the pins). I always said, "Cannonball! BOOM!" when he used it. Sometimes, when my puffles don't want to walk with me, their animated expressions literally wanted me to say, "Hum...bleh!" Their tongue sticking out just looks like when someone ate something horrible. I couldn't unsee the leash looking like a belt every time this happened for some reason. Every time my puffles were hungry, it looked like they were gulping and thinking about food. I later realized their stomachs were empty. It made me sad all the times when they think about food, especially when the game gave me postcards saying, "Feed me! I'm hungry." Those postcards of my puffles looking out the window were so sad I sometimes might've cried while looking at them. I just thought puffles were the cutest things ever. Sometimes my puffles ran away, which I thought was a glitch at first because I never saw the postcards saying my puffle left. I would always feel worried and immediately go to the pet shop to get another puffle with the same name with their color in honor of my puffles who ran away.
I would always color myself pink (awkwardly my favorite color), wear the tour guide hat so I could use the "Give a Tour" speech, a ninja mask, and a black belt, or a brown one (I loved brown so much because of coffee and chocolate). I always thought the Coffee Shop music always sang "Sensible pencil" before, because you see, I was really young, I barely knew anything in this game, especially when I always get mixed up with the Town and the Plaza, especially when they both had 3 buildings. When I saw the Gift Shop instead of the Pizza Patrol, it made me feel lost, cuz I always wanted to go and play PizzaTron 3000. Eventually, I got those 2 places memorized. Whenever I see the present on the Gift Shop building, I think of cake cuz I whenever it was my birthday, my cake would be wrapped like a present. I loved eating cakes, and the box was pink, like I said before, which is my favorite color. I would always buy new backgrounds and new flag pins cuz they weren't for members and they were really cheap (I eventually felt that was a waste of money and time, so I stopped doing that later on). Whenever I was in the stage ticket booth, I would stay inside, and say "No". IDK why I always said that. probably cuz it was my favorite place to stay in and my favorite thing to say. It felt oddly satisfying. I always got mad someone else took that spot, and when some said "No", I would look at him/her. In the Nightclub, I always wanted to find a square of the dance floor that flashed my favorite colors. The bottom right corner happened to be the perfect spot for me cuz it flashed red and pink, two of my favorite colors, and it was at the front. Man, that Nightclub music was amazing to my younger ears, I always wanted to dance to that.
Sled Racing might've been the first mini game I've ever played and loved, probably cuz it was easy to win and lose. I hated being last and getting 5 coins. 5 coins felt like it was the lowest amount that anyone can get in this game. I occasionally get 10 coins, but I didn't know why and how this happened, probably getting to the end in a specific position or state. I thought the Bunny Hill lane was just one player only, cuz I always hated to wait for someone to race with me, but I got duped cuz the middle yellow divider was so far to the right. Looking at the Ridge Run, I always thought that wasn't the lane people would be using. "That's a cliff. How would players start like that?" I thought. I saw other players being indicated as smiles and myself as a star. It was like them laughing at me losing, and that being just the only star at the top would make me feel depressed. Sometimes there were two or more stars on the screen. I never knew why because it might've been a glitch. I always never won when I thought about this. My sister probably told me the ice patches would make me go faster. I always had hard times getting on them. Eventually, I would always win in this game.
Ice Fishing: I thought the loading screen before the Ice Fishing screen showed up said "Mewpup Gone Fishin", something I never knew would say, cuz every other game would say "loading", then the game name. Maybe it was me. When that big fish passed by, I didn't even know what it was for, maybe a cutscene or something? The end pic looked like me holding a broken string from the rod, but his awkward face kinda creeped me out. The white and blue color scheme for the game reminded me of my aquatic center, cuz they also had white and blue walls, and the game was about fishing. The sounds when the sharks ate my bait scared me. When I got about 63 fish, I kept the last one on the rod to see what happened, I didn't even know that I just captured the big fish. I always thought the shark was the most dangerous out of all of them cuz it was the biggest. I sometimes got scared of when my fish it a barrel or a boot. "Like seriously, who would put them there?" I thought.
Catchin' Waves: it used to be my favorite game if I could play with my puffle. During the intro, there was a "Start Wave" and a "Skip Intro" button, I clicked on both of 'em, and they did the same thing. I never saw the start wave button again later on. I loved doing freestyle surf in Competition mode, although that wasn't the main part of the competition. I didn't even care if the penguins looked unhappy if I looked at the results. This game reminded me of my pool. Whenever the wave ended, it kinda scared me, or maybe got upset the game ended, but I occasionally finish it cuz maybe I give up or just lose all my lives. I always hated whenever I fail and a random 0 appeared outta nowhere. Whenever I fell with my puffle, he appeared to lose his board.
I always played Pizzatron 3000 because it was full of pizza, and pizza is one of my favorite foods. I always tried to make the right pizzas after putting the wrong toppings on, the belt moved so fast I even laughed at it sometimes. I once poured the sauce on the dough, then it exploded, scaring me so much. The game actually accepted the pizzas I made with the exploded sauce, and I might've done some after the belt started moving fast. This game was so hard, fast, and tiring I never got a perfect score.
Aqua Grabber was something I never knew how to beat it until I kept exploring, but trying to steal the pearl was funny, got scared, then I thought he was scared, so I got sucked in, then been blown out. The exit button disappeared when I played the game so I thought I couldn't exit until I beat the game, which I didn't know how, so I never played it again until later. I might've not moved my mouse to the top of the game or my computer was slow. DJ3K; 4th blue slide sounded like the music is singing "fufu" repeatedly, and the 5th sounded like meows to me for some reason. Those 2 loops reminded me of Pokemon. I always turned knobs from the bottom right to the very top. The 7th and 6th sounded so similar, except the 6th one sounded longer. The first 3 knobs on the right sounded like they should've been in the movie Cars.
I liked having over 100000 coins. I thought that I was the richest penguin in the game. The number of digits was the same as in the number of letters there are in Mewpup.
I only liked staying in the Dojo just to listen to the music and singing to it. I had only one power card with the sled racing picture. I was scared of the gong, so I would immediately leave when I/they won, even though my sister already became a ninja when I played, so it didn't really matter. My sister sometimes laughed and showed me the glitchy rectangles that have a fade on their sides without the elements in them. I thought watching Card-Jitsu Fire movie was really cool, and the tone at the end just before the movie ended was fired up, urging me to actually get in and battle. I thought I had to just be a ninja to go, because in the movie, the yellow penguin got the mask. "Why did they lie to me?!" I thought. I made numerous attempts to try and get in, but they wouldn't let me.
