Muppets World Tour

The Muppets World Tour was a party in Club Penguin that occurred from March 20 to April 1, 2014. It was based on the Disney movie, Muppets Most Wanted (which was released in theaters on March 21, 2014), and The Muppets franchise itself.

Storyline
The Muppets decided to visit Club Penguin as part of their tour, so to celebrate, Cadence planned to bring some of the world to the island. Penguins headed to the Muppet Theater to be in a finale show with the Muppets, as well as traveling the globe to perform different acts. At the same time, a jewel thief mystery was going on and Kermit the Frog was blamed for it, while the real thief was still on the loose.

KELOWNA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, March 20– The Muppets are taking over Disney Club Penguin, the #1 virtual world for kids, for a two-week event where members will be able to dress up like and perform with their some of their favorite Muppets to celebrate the all-new, big-screen adventure Muppets Most Wanted, in theaters March 21.

Starting on March 20, players will embark on quests, traveling across the island to take the stage and perform alongside the Muppets. Players will have to master performances like singing a duet with Miss Piggy in Great Britain or throwing cream pies with Fozzie in Germany. Along the way, penguins will earn exclusive rewards for their quests. On March 28, penguins will unite for a Grand Finale performance at the Muppets Theater hosted by Kermit the Frog.

Glitches

 * A few days before Club Penguin was updated for the party, everyone had their free Level 1 membership signs. It was fixed after a few hours.
 * This party is one of the parties where the Club Penguin Team were unable to fix the bug where it does not show the membership ad when heading to the underwater room as a non-member with a moss key pin.
 * There was a glitch where Kermit doesn't get added to your friends list even after trying to add him. Polo Field said on Twitter that the team was trying to fix this.
 * This glitch was later fixed.
 * There was a glitch where when players tried to open Kermit's Player Card from their friends list, it wouldn't open.
 * There was a glitch when a non-member tries to obtain a member item from the Muppets passport, a fair pop-up will appear.
 * There was a glitch when you act with other penguins and before ending, you take off your equipment and there will be 2 penguins standing and not moving.
 * There was a glitch where when doing the tap dance, when you take the item during the middle, you will get the pop up for Fozzie Bear when you do the Cream Pie dance. The glitch above will also happen.
 * There was a glitch where the item action takes place in the top left corner of the screen.
 * Players were able to get into the Muppet Theater early by using an EPF Phone to teleport into the Stage, but opening the Club Penguin Times right before they were teleported.
 * When players were in the Club Penguin App and searched for Kermit in the Friends List, it would say "Kermit is offline, to add him as a friend you must meet him on the island", but this was false, since he was currently on Club Penguin Island during the party.
 * On March 28, in the Muppets Passport, it showed that we can go to the Stage and perform when the Stage (Muppet Theater) was not opened.
 * This glitch was fixed after the Stage was opened, but there was another glitch where the whole screen would become low quality upon getting into the Stage to perform.

Trivia

 * This was the first sponsored party to take place in 2014, and the first since the Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam. It was also the eighth sponsored party overall, with the first being the Marvel Super Hero Takeover 2012.
 * Polo Field tweeted a hint about the party in February 2014, stating that it will have "a bunch of different places around the world on it", for example France and Brazil.
 * You were able to go to 9 different countries and locations. One Muppet was at each country to teach you a trick. After meeting them all, you can perform onstage at the Muppet Theater in the finale show starting on March 28.
 * In each country, everyone was able to get a traditional hat of that country, whereas members were able to get a hand item relating to the specific Muppet.
 * The March 2014 Penguin Style catalog had a Muppet Masks section.
 * This marked the oldest known franchise to make its way into Club Penguin, with the creation of The Muppets dating back to 1955.
 * Also, The Muppet Show once had an episode on February 16, 1980, featuring the cast of Star Wars, consisting of Luke Skywalker, C-3PO, R2-D2, and Chewbacca, to promote their second film, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, which was later released on May 21, 1980 (see Star Wars Takeover).
 * A new species of wild puffle made a cameo in the trailer of the party, the Orange Tabby Cat, which became available for adoption at the Puffle Party 2014 in April.
 * Many people thought the puffle was the Lion Puffle because of the Lion Statue Pin. Later it was discovered that it was Orange Tabby Cat puffle.
 * It was the fourth sponsored party to not have the word "takeover" in it. The other three were the Make Your Mark: Ultimate Jam, Adventure Party: Temple of Fruit, and Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam.
 * This marks the first time that a few actual characters come to Club Penguin.
 * Kermit the Frog was a limited time mascot for the party, like Rocky, CeCe, McKenzie, and Brady were.
 * The United States (The Plaza) has no Muppet performer or free items given away, however it was considered the main hub of the island during the party. It included both the Airport and the Muppet Theater.
 * The Muppets Passport could be used to access tasks and items during the party.
 * This party marked the first appearance of a human in the game, on a portrait on the wall of the Museum.
 * This was the first sponsored party to have emoticons with sound effects.
 * Although he appeared in all promotional videos for the party, Scooter was not a performing Muppet and did not have a costume.
 * Similarly, Walter, Pepe and Bunsen all performed, but they did not have costumes made for them. Sam the Eagle has a costume, but was not a performing Muppet. Rowlf the Dog only appeared as an exclusive costume with a 3 or 6 month membership purchase from Best Buy.
 * In the film, the Muppets traveled on a train. Club Penguin probably didn't use trains because they used trains in the Holiday Party 2013.
 * The main language of the countries on which some of the rooms were based on are also available in Club Penguin, with an exception of India (Hindi).
 * The Plaza music during the party was used from WaddleOn: Penguin Carols.
