Season introduction features
Special Shuffle Course
Special Shuffle Course, SSC for short, was a special version of a tournament game which took holes from all courses of Pangya Island and placed them in no specific order, with the last hole containing an exclusive "Special Shuffle" hole that players could play in to earn a large amount of Pang. In addition, a Pang Pouch was earned that increased in size when there were more players in the game room.
Creating a SSC game required a Special Shuffle Ticket. Special Shuffle Tickets were only obtainable from hole cups at random. At the start of the update, each player was given Special Shuffle Tickets in their mail as a trial.
When SSC games were completed, Special Shuffle Coins were given to the player who hosted the room, so long the player stayed in the room entire time. Special Shuffle Coins could be used to exchange for Partial Scratchy Cards in Cadie's Cauldron.
Tiki's Point Shop
Tiki's Point Shop was a recycle system introduced to allowed player to exchange certain items they own for "Tiki Points". These Tiki Points obtained could be spent in the shop itself for various exclusive items only available in the shop.
Basic System
The Basic System let players who were Junior A level or lower to buy and use "basic" versions of certain premium Pangya Shop outfits for a small amount of Pang to get a head start in the game. These outfits distinctively seen by a special "chicklet" symbol on the clothing item.
Rental System
The Rental System allowed any player to buy certain premium Pangya Shop outfits with Pang for a 7-day limited time use. This allowed players to try on clothing prior to buying them with Points. Clothing rented functioned exactly the same as if they were bought with Points.
When time expired, the player had an option delete the rental from their inventory or re-rent them again for the same amount of Pang.
New Title system
The Title system was moved from the settings menu to an added individual section of My Room for easy access. Many new titles were also added to the Pangya Shop that players could buy and place on. Certain titles also had conditions that need to be met before they could be worn.
Caddie upgrade
Pangya Shop caddies had their stats changed, creating new set of caddies with these changes. An option was added to the Pangya Shop that allowed players who owned a caddie prior to the update to upgrade their caddie to the new stats. Caddies that were not upgraded had "ancient" in its names to differentiate the two.
Caddies in the Pangya Shop no longer had the ancient caddie versions which meant players must buy the upgraded version should they choose to.
Each of the new upgraded caddies also had a Power Gauge bonus change when a caddie skin was worn, each caddie now giving 33 units (one full bar) at the start of a game.

The "Speediest Medal" was also now obtainable even if the player used Time Boosters at any point in the game.
