Poptroica Adventures: Coming Soon!

There is a lot of new information coming out about the new Poptrpoica video game "Poptropica Adventures" on the Nintendo DS. The words of Jeff Kinney are "We're excited to bring the world of Poptropica to the Nintendo DS. We've picked three of our most popular Islands and given them a twist with exciting new challenges and storylines. We think kids will have fun exploring our world in an experience only the Nintendo DS can deliver!" The game will feature Mythology, Super Power, and Astro-Knihgts Islands like we have never seen them before. What will be going doen in these new adventures different than what we have allready seen, or will it be the same, just on a new format? It appears that we must buy it to find out! If that isnt enough ensentive to get the game there is also something else!

These two new costumes' names have not yet been reveled, but I allready want them. One appears to be a Lighning Warrior and the other some sort of Medusa Surfer Costume! Do you plan on buying the game or are the costumes not enough to convince you?

Also be on the lookout for season two of contests! This season the Scavenger Hunts will be harder and the Suits will be even wackier, so stay tuned to see when the contests begin for your chance to be our featured winner!

Super Saturday Mega Post

Lets look back at the big news this week in the world of Poptropica!

• Super Villain Island

This week Super Villain Island was released to everyone! Do you dare venture into the minds of the dastardly villains of Erewhon Prison? Can you take on the evil Dr. Jupiter Zeus? If you ever get stuck on anything, remember to go on to our Island Guide Page to find Guides, a Map, and the info page.

• Charlie and The Chocolate Factory Island

The info page for the new island has been relesed along with all of the goodies that go along with it!

 "After years of silence, Willy Wonka's magical chocolate factory is re-opening, and you've got a Golden Ticket. But when a group of misbehaving kids threaten to destroy Wonka's candy creations, he needs you to save the day. Prepare to untangle a confectionary conundrum that's full of sweet treats and sticky situations!"

So it appears that the we will be finding the last golden ticket! On the info page you can find four preview photos, a printable poster, a wall paper, and a link to the book and original movie!

• Lunar Colony Island

For all of you with smart phones there is another free guide available in the official Poptropica app!

Lunar Colony walkthrough now available!

If you're still stuck on our latest free Island, Lunar Colony, you're in luck: You can now download the Lunar Colony guide in our official walkthrough app for FREE! The Lunar Colony guide is available now for Apple iOS devices, and will be available soon for Android devices.

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

You must all ways remember your guide before blasting off into space!

• Store Items

As it is every Halloween, all of the monster costumes, Frankenstein, Ware-wolf, Swap Monster, Vapmpire, Haunted House, etc. are all moved to the front of the store, but this year there is a new spooky costume in town!
In my opinion, this suit is much better then the old skeleton suit that was obtainable through winning Haunted House. This looks much more like a real skeleton on the body because of the depth. You can see the spine behind the ribs! How cool is that! The only When you press "I'm a skeleton", you are turned into that skeleton you see at the left. But be warned! You don't customize this! When you press "I'm a skeleton", you are instantly wearing that entire suit. So if you have an awesome costume on, it will be gone. When you press "I see skeleons" everyone on the screen, including you, becomes a skeleton!

• Big News

Congratulations to Poptropica for having over a half billion different characters created!

500,000,000 Poptropicans and counting!

It's been a year of milestones for Poptropica. 5 years, 30 Islands, and now this: 500,000,000 characters created.

If Poptropica were a country, it would be the third biggest in the world. Thank you to everyone who is a part of Poptropica! 


BLACK WIDOW

How insane is that?! It is really crazy, but when you think about it, how many of us just have one account?

Pop Quiz: What Do You Do In A Zombie Attzck?

Well, it's that time of the week again, time to check out what's new on the PCB. This week we will be spotlighting two new posts.
The first new post is about all of the new pop quizzes that have been added to the friends feature.

Finally, a pop quiz you'll enjoy

We've recently added dozens of new pop quizzes to Poptropica Friends. Now, you can share with the world even more of your unique personality -- and learn more about your friends, too.

Taking pop quizzes is easy. Just log into your Poptropica account every day for a new quiz, and check out the "recent activity" tab to see what your friends have been up to.

I never knew that Captain Crawfish can climb trees! How do you do that with a peg leg? Very slowly, I guess.


BLACK WIDOW

 Yes, there are finally more pop quizzes! How exciting! Now everyone will know whether I like ice cream in a cone rather than in a bowl! There is also a new post all about something very scary!

Fear is in the air

Halloween is coming up. It's one of our favorite holidays. Nothing is more fun than dressing up in a costume, getting free candy, and --

--getting scared out of your wits!

Yikes, didn't see that one coming.


CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Don't let that light go out! So it appears that there the new city themed island will also be Halloween themed! This does raise some questions though...!
First, the creators announced that the next island is going to be based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

The Missing Villains

The hype for Super Villain just wont stop! There is a new PCB post talking about Erewhon Prison. The Prison that houses Poptropica's most powerful villain.

More villains than you can shake a stick at

For Super Villain Island, we brought back four of our most dangerous villains: Black Widow, Dr. Hare, Captain Crawfish, and Binary Bard. But there are some other classic Poptropica evildoers hanging around on the Island. Have you seen them? Do you know what Islands they're from?

And is anyone missing?

Hmm. This might require a closer look. Become a Member today to play Super Villain Island!


CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Is anyone missing? Well, lets take role of who is in the prizon!

1. Copy Cat
2. Sir Rebral
3. Mr. Silva
4. Speedy Spike
5. Rat Man
6. El Mustachio Grande
7. Betty Jetty
8. Gretchen Grimlock
9. Black Widow
10. Binary Bard
11. Captain Crawfish
12. Dr. Hare
13. Zeus

Really the only villain missing is Director D. Other "bad guys" missing are The Shogun and Henry Flatbottom Magistrate. What are the creators alluding to? 
Very curious....

BINARY BARD

Yes sir! Look at those guys! Have you won Super Villain Island yet? If your having trouble, you should go check out our Island Guide page where you can find a Guide, Video Guide, Info Page, and detailed map!

Super Villain Guide

Written by poptropicacheatz.com
Edited by Fuzzy-B

You’ll start Super Villain Island by coming off the blimp onto an Oil Rig. Jump up the platforms or climb the rope on the right hand side until you reach the top level with the control room toward the left of the oil rig. Go inside and then head right to the Office.
Once you are inside the control room, you will overhear a conversation between an employee and the Director of operations on the Oil Rig. Speak to the operator in the room and you will be sent on a mission to aid the Director.
Head back out of the control room and a helicopter will appear out of the sky and land on top of the oil rig. Get into the helicopter to begin your adventure!
The suddenly weather turns bad and the pilot forces you to jump! Thankfully, he provides you with a parachute and once you jump out, you will start floating down toward the water slowly.
While you are floating down, you will encounter two obstacles — clouds and lightning. Avoid the clouds as best you can, as they slow you down and make your reaction to the lightning too slow to get out of the way. Keep your eye on the top of the screen for a white glow directly above you. Swiftly move your Poptropican left or right to avoid the lightning strike. If you are struck by lightning, your parachute will catch on fire.
Once you land in the water, swim to your right and jump on the first rock you see. Make your way up and to the right along the rocks. There will be a pair of tough jumps that you might not think you can make, but keep trying, you’ll make it. Once you make it up on the right hand side, you’ll encounter a security camera looking at you. Get close to the camera and let it “see” you and a door will slide open. Enter the door to go into the maximum-security prison called Erehwon.
Once inside the prison, run to your right and speak with the guard. He will tell you that you have to go through some security screening tests and you will be X-rayed, scanned, washed and dried before having your picture taken.
Continue to your right and then press the up button on the elevator to go up to the Director’s lab. Speak with the Director and he will show you an amazing experiment that brings you into the dreams of Binary Bard, Captain Crawfish, Black Widow and Dr. Hare!
To use the machine, press the arrow up or down on the left side to choose which Super Villain you want to visit and then press the button on the right to execute the command.

Captain Crawfish

Your first stop should be Captain Crawfish’s dreams. You’ll need to be extremely cautious in Captain Crawfish’s dream, so as not to disturb any of the sleeping Captain Crawfishes. Walk to the left of the door and jump up on the hanging lamp. Then, jump to your right above the door and you will pick up an orange key. Continue to your right and down the cargo net. Then move slowly to your left until you encounter the orange chest. Open the chest to get the Stopwatch.
Now, jump up on the lamp and near the top to get the green key. Head all the way left and climb the cargo net. Jump up on the platform above you to open the green treasure chest and you’ll get the Turpentine. Now, exit Captain Crawfish’s dream.

Dr. Hare

Dr. Hare dreams about ant mazes! So head to your right and dig down just below where the ant hill reaches the surface. This is the easiest area to make it to the bottom. You can use your pick axe to attack the ants if you end up on the same level as them. Keep digging down through the dirt, but you will not be able to dig through bedrock.
You will dig through the first level and drop to the second level. Keep digging down until you are on a surface of bedrock and with no more dirt areas for you to dig down. Toward the middle of the screen, you should see an empty sprayer bottle. Work your way toward the bottle and then click the “surface” tile to return to the top and exit the dream.

Black Widow

Now that we have the turpentine and the sprayer bottle, we can go get Black Widow’s Totem! Head into Black Widow’s dreams and you will see that she has destroyed some famous artwork. Speak to her and make sure to select the second option. Open up your inventory and click on the Turpentine to put it into the sprayer bottle. Black Widow will get very angry and send her spiders after you.
You’ll need to enter each of the three paintings to clean them up with your turpentine sprayer. In the painting on the left, don’t miss the Shrinking Potion bottle in the upper-left. It may help to get rid of all of the spray paint first, and then get the Shrinking Potion, as the spiders will stop attacking you once the painting is clean.
In the second painting, on the upper-right hand side, you’ll see a blue key. Don’t forget to grab the Crystal Key, as you’ll need it for Binary Bard’s dreams.
Finally, in the third painting, just clean the painting, there’s no item that you need to grab in this one.
After the paintings are all cleaned, Black Widow will become even more upset and she will start attacking you as well. You need to get past her and her spiders and use your turpentine spray bottle on the painting in the center of the room that has her picture. You will have to hit it a number of times with the turpentine spray, but it will eventually melt away and you can collect her totem!

Binary Bard

Now that we have the Stopwatch and the Crystal Key, we can retrieve Binary Bard’s totem. Head into Binary Bard’s dreams and open up your inventory to equip the Stopwatch. This is a magical stopwatch that can briefly stop time! You’ll need to use this stopwatch throughout the entire dream, so get ready!
The first door is swinging back and forth. When it swings open, press space bar to stop time and Binary Bard will run through. You’ll run through the door too and get stuck on the other side! Go through the next door and you’ll run into Merlin the owl. Avoid him as best you can and get through the next door. Make the robo-mouse help you jump over the barrier on the right and then enter the domain of Binary Bard!
As you progress to the right, there will be various floating and rotating platforms. Use your stopwatch to freeze the platforms so that you can jump on them with the flat side up. Once you have made it over to the right, make your way up and to the left. You will encounter a diamond drill, don’t miss it!
On the upper-left of the screen, you will see a crystal structure with a clock in it. Open up your inventory and use the Crystal Key to open the lock for the final stand with Binary Bard.
Once inside, Binary Bard is embedded within a clock. All you have to do is freeze time when both hands of the click are pointing at either 3, 6, 9, 12. For example, 12:30, 3:15, 9:00, etc. When the hands are facing those numbers, it sends a shock through Binary Bard. Once you shock him 3 times, you can collect his totem and exit the dream.

Back to Captain Crawfish

Now that we have the Shrinking Potion, we can retrieve Captain Crawfish’s totem. Head into Captain Crawfish’s dream, and make your way to the right but instead of climbing down the cargo net, jump up to the platform on the upper-right where you see the ship in a bottle. Use your shrinking potion from Black Widow’s dream and you will enter the ship.
Once you are in the ship, the same rules apply — don’t wake the sleeping Captain Crawfishes! We have to break the ship out of the bottle but without disturbing them. Make your way to the right and then up onto the mast to your left. You can duck to avoid waking the Crawfishes as the pass you. Follow the Captain Crawfish on the mast to the left and click the edge of the box to lock him in.
Jump up to the next mast and head to your right and do the same thing to the next Crawfish. Now, drop down and to the left. Run along the bottom until you see the cannon. Jump up to the cannon and fire it. You’ll break open the bottle and have earned Captain Crawfish’s totem!

Returning to Dr. Hare

Now for the final totem! Head into Dr. Hare’s dreams and equip the Diamond Drill. Make your way down through the levels just as before, but on the second level, go ahead and drill through the bedrock, as your diamond drill now lets you get through it!
You’ll notice that the 3rd level is all bedrock, but it’s no match for your diamond drill, so keep drilling down and killing the ants. You’ll see Dr. Hare and a pile of rocks next to him. Drill through the pile and you’ll uncover his Golden Carrot totem. Once you get it, click on Dr. Hare and you’ll be transported out of his dream!
Now you have all 4 totems, mission accomplished, right? Well…. not so fast! You’ll bring the items to the Director and you’ll find out that he has a secret. He had you on a mission to collect these evil items for him because he is Zeus!
Zeus will fly away and you, along with the 4 Super Villains, will be blasted out of the mountain and into the water. You’ll see a news broadcast showing all kinds of destruction all over Poptropica and, of course, you’re the only one that can save Poptropica!
Once you regain control, swim to your left and Poseidon will appear. Speak to him and he will give you his trident for you to fight Zeus. This will take you straight into the fight with Zeus.
If you’ve ever played Mythology Island, the battle with Zeus is quite similar this time as well. As you play, Zeus sends lightning bolts and fireballs at you, and pink clouds will appear randomly throughout. Make sure to pick up the pink clouds as those represent your life in the game. The more clouds you have, the more health you have. Also, make sure to keep Zeus on his toes throughout. If you’re constantly firing at him, he won’t be able to call the fireball attack.
You’ll need to destroy all 4 totems that are now embedded in the Statue of Liberty and then destroy Zeus. It will take some time, but you will manage! Once you have defeated Zeus, he will take it a step further and use the statue’s eyes to create huge lightning bolts. Again, maintain your pink clouds and attack the eyes!
Once you defeat the statue, you defeat Zeus and you will be brought back to the prison and will be awarded the medal! Congratulations, you have beaten Super Villain Island!

Bonus Quest:
The Super Power Island Villains have kidnapped a guard and you need the access codes that are in Zeus' mind, but he is asleep! You must go into his mind and find the code one letter at a time. Once you are in his dream, the color will be negative and the controls backwards. The first area is the Labyrinth. You must just run around each corner and dead end till you find all of the pieces in that room. Once you have found all of the pieces in that room you are transported to the next area. Now you must be careful because Zeus is flying around. Search around for the next pieces and you will then be transported to the last area. Once you find all of the pieces here, you wake up and give the code to a security guard. In return he gives you the Dream Gaurdian Suit.

Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja Advertisment

There is a new advertisement for Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja on main streets around Poptropica! There are three different games, each with their own prize.

When you walk in, go to your left till you see Randy. He will say that he “dropped the Ninjaomicon in something stanky and needs our help putting it back together.” This is like the game in Time Tangled when you put the painting back together. You have to put two pages back together and you get two minutes for each. When you win that you get the Ninjaomicon prize. When you use this a page of the book pops up with a piece of Ninja Wisdom. 

The next game is “Ninja Target Practice”. In this game you have to throw Ninja Rings at monsters and bad guys. You have to hit 20 of them in a minute, but be careful because if you hit Randy or his friends three times you lose! The prize for this game is the Randy Cunningham Ninja Suit. 

 

The final game is the longest and hardest. Go over to the gym and Randy says you have to come save Howard from the robot gorillas that have cornered him in the gym. The trick is you can’t let them see you so you use the objects around you to break them so you can go on past. Here is how to defeat each of the gorillas:

1^st: Walk over to the water fountain by the gorilla and click on it to spray water on the gorilla and short circuit it.

2^nd: Slide the oil drum off from the crate beside the gorilla so it falls on it and you can pass.

3^rd: Hop on top of the light that has the wiring that looks loose and it will fall on the gorilla.

4^th: Pull the switch by the “DANGER: Water Pressure” sign. The sprinklers will come on and short out the gorilla.

Once you make it to Howard, you win. The prize this time is the Ninja Kick ability. You now have all three prizes and have completed the Advertisement!

The three prizes of the Advertisment

The Night Hare on Candy Street!

The first update we got from the PCB this post about what the next island will be! It appears that our predictions have been right! We have studied the Daily Pop updates and speculated and we were right, the next Island is...

Happy Roald Dahl day!

Today is Roald Dahl Day -- the birthday of one of the greatest storytellers of all time! Roald Dahl was the man behind classic stories like James and the Giant Peach, Matilda, The BFG, and a whole lot more, including our favorite, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

In fact, we love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory so much that we've decided to make a whole Island out of it! Consider this our Roald Dahl Day gift to you.

We'll have a lot more to tell you about our latest and greatest project in the weeks to come!


CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

...based on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Yes, this will be very, very, very interesting! This could shape up to be a really good Island!Also with this being Poptropica's fifth birthday there is a new costume going around the game.

Bonus Prize: Night Hare Costume!

Back to School Contest

EDIT: Congrats to all of the winners!

By now, everyone has gone back to school. We are all learning about important things like Math, Science, Reading and Writing, and History. One of the things you may learn about in history is Ancient Greece. In ancient Greece they worshiped gods and goddesses like the ones featured on Mythology Island. To celebrate going back to school, I'm giving away accounts with the costumes of the gods from Mythology!

The Passwords to these accounts are hidden throughought the blog, so look through the blog to find them. Once you find a password, post in a comment you found it and you will be named the 1, 2, 3, or 4th place winner, depending on what password you find! Good luck!

Super Villain Info Post!

There has been a lot of stuff posted about the new Island, Super Villain Island! Most recently, the info page has been put up!

It reads:

Deep inside a top-secret prison, four of Poptropica's most infamous villains float in suspended animation. Your mission: to infiltrate their minds and extract the sources of their evil. Can you withstand a journey to the heart of darkness, or will their twisted dreams trap you forever?

The world may be safe, but another villain stirs in his slumber. Do you dare to enter the dream machine once more, and visit a nightmarish version of one of the most popular Poptropica Islands? Find out how to get Membership now!

Members get an additional Super Villain Island gear pack, which includes Night Hare costume, Sleeping Powder power, and Evil Henchmen item. The Night Hare costume is ONLY available during Early Access!

So can you brave the minds of five evil villains? We will see!

EDIT: It appears that the fifth evil villain is Zeus! When you flip the Bonus Quest photo it is of Mount Olympus on Mythology Island. I believe this is some pretty solid evidence!
