Trivia

 * Famous penguins other than the Penguin Band, who dance regularly, dance slightly faster than other penguins.
 * After the 2011 Buddy List update, while trying to add a famous penguin to your buddy list, a message will pop, saying you have to meet them, in order to add them as friends.
 * Famous penguins can use special dances while wearing clothing, like the Penguin Band can play instruments even though they are wearing clothes.
 * In 2013 Aunt Arctic, Rockhopper, Sensei, and Cadence got new outfits.
 * Before that, PH, Rookie, and the Penguin Band got their own makeovers.
 * If you have a mascot as a friend, you can earn the latest background they give out on the Buddy List without meeting them.
 * On April 25, 2013, Rocky and CeCe's in-game sprites and player cards have been completely removed from Club Penguin files, meaning they will not come back at any time.
 * Many people think that the mascots are bots but they are not. They are controlled by real people.
