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)
 * 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.
