Shadow's Guide: Cart Surfing

Hello!
I made this guide for all you players out there itching to play that fun, and dangerous, game down in that mine! Here, you'll find out how to get to the game, an explanation of the game, tips, and more! :D

START OF GUIDE. ENJOY IT, YOU SILLY RAB-- I MEAN PENGUIN.

STEP I:: Gettin' to the Game!
Well, I don't know how you know of this game without knowing how to get to it, but still, I'll tell you how to get to it. :D First off, go to your map. If you look near the Cove (it's near the ocean-side, and you will see a shack), you'll also notice a nearby small building on a bump on the snow.. If you click on the building, you'll be transported to the Mine Shack room. If you don't you understand what I'm saying, I just circled the location on the map in this picture (http://i175.****************/albums/w140/PixelMon/mapmine.jpg). Anyways, once you there, go inside it via the door opening. You'll find yourself in a small damp cave. Then, you can go to the tracks and, voila! You will be asked if you want to play Cart Surfing. :D

STEP II:: Game Objective!

The basic objective of this game (and practically every other game in Club Penguin) is to do some tricks and earn lots of points without dying too much. The tricks are relatively easy and some earn you lots of points. I'll get more into that at the How To Play! / Controls! sections of the guide. Anyways, there is a limit to how long your cart-surfin' journey will last. If you don't die 3 times, you'll last long enough to get to the end of the cave (which is a bright light). Then your game is finished, and your points will be turned into cold-hard cash-- er, I mean coins...
If you do die, don't worry, you won't lose your hard-earned points. They'll be turned into coins as you leave the game. :D

STEP III:: Controls!

You basically play this fun game by using your arrow keys (and Space bar) as your controls. Here is a list of the most basic moves:

SPACE BAR: JUMP
DOWN ARROW: LEAN DOWN
RIGHT ARROW: LEAN RIGHT
LEFT ARROW: LEAN LEFT
UP ARROW: STAND ON CART

Once you get the hang of the game, you can use these simple moves and combine some togther to make some nifty, high-points earnin', moves. There are many combination possibilities, and most can be found on this thread (http://www.clubpenguinfansite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=222). Credit goes the OP of that thread, and all contributers there. If you think there are some combinatons missing, go ahead and post it!

STEP IV:: How to Play!

By using the arrows and controls I explained earlier, you must navigate your way out of the mine while earning points. Along the way, you'll meet turns, which sequently get more difficult to turn through each time. You turn by leaning correspondently to the turn's direction (ex: if you reach a left turn, you better turn left). If you don't turn in time (or make a trick in the turn, or lean the wrong way), you'll fall off your cart and "die". Fortunately, your penguin doesn't sustain any injuries that it should have, and gets back on the cart. However, if you die 3 times, you'll lose your only 3 carts, and be kicked out of the game (but still keep your points). Your life/cart meter is displayed on the upper left part of the screen.
As you get the heck out of that crazy mine, you can do some cool tricks, and earn points (I know I've repeated this many times). You can do a large assortment of tricks, but be weary of how long and where you do you tricks. If you do a certain trick (like leaning to the right) for too long, your cart will flip out, and your penguin will fly (apparently, penguins CAN fly) and DIE. You also "die" when you a trick when you're on turn (this rule EXLUCDES leaning correspondent to the turn's direction). So watch out when using your tricks. If you're consistent with doing tricks, and have a good eye for those mean turns, you'll get a pretty good score. Your points are shown in the upper right meter of the screen.

STEP V:: Point System!

Ever wonder about how your points and coin-outcome relate? I'll answer those questions here. The Point System is simple. You are rewarded a certain number of points when you complete a trick. And those point are later tallied up and you are given 1 COIN PER EVERY 10 POINTS. So there you have it.
On a side note, if you do a trick, and do that same trick again within a few moments, the points you earn for that trick that time will be cut in half. So do different tricks! :D

BONUS STEP:: Tips!

Huh? You care about what I personally think? GEE WHIZ, thanks! Well, my tips for today are:

Use the back-flip move a lot!
Use the 360-Jump move a lot!
Rate this thread 5 stars.
If you don't, I will seriously hunt you and your penguin friends down.
Seriously.
And above all, HAVE FUN! ...Seriously.

it gives you 40 if you do the move twice or more in a row. if you use the move after another move, youll get 80.

Pretty much my technique, except i rotate techniques nonstop, for ex. flip,360,flip,360,etc.
I always grind on turns. I get about 320-430 coins a game.

Well Cart Surfer is one of my favorite games! And this is how you can get 300 coins or more!

1) Some of the best moves are Backflip (down + space) and air spin (space + right).
2) Best way to turn is to use the rail grind (down + left) or (down + right) depending on which way you have to turn.
3) Don't use the backflip more than once because you'll only get 50 coins the second time.
