Friends, Map Madness, and Robo-Mashups!

Yes, the title of this post is pretty weird but it will make sense. This post will feature a new PCB post about Friends, an old Daily Pop post that I found, and a Website Update!
First off, there is a new PCB post reminding us that Friends is still running, not like we forgot though...

The friend zone

Have you been keeping up with Poptropica Friends? Many of the Poptropica Creators are on there, if you can find us. That's how you can find out, for instance, that Shark Boy can do a handstand. (Or so he says.)

How do you know if it's really one of us, and not somebody in disguise? Just check out the name displayed on our profile pages. If it says "Captain Crawfish," "Dr. Hare," "Master Mime," and so on, you know it's the real deal!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

So Shark Boy can do a hand stand? I would think it would be hard with the shark suit on... And Flying Squid? I thought for sure he would belong to the worlds best tribe, Seraphim!!

In website update news, have you ever wondered, what is the name of that room in that Island??
Well know you can know! I have added maps to the Island Guide page! Soon there will be a map for every Island, but for know, you can check out maps for...

• Early Poptopica
• Shark Tooth
• Time Tangled
• 24 Carrot
• Super Power
• Spy
• Nabooti
• Big Nate
• Astro-Knights
• Ghost Story
• S.O.S
• Vampires Curse
• Twisted Thicket
• Poptropolis Games
• Wimpy Boarkwalk

The rest are coming soon so check out the Island Guide page to see those!

Finally, I was looking through the Daily Pop and found an interesting picture.

 The caption reads "Combo Breaker: It's Robot Madness"
The Combo Breaker comes from this being a combination of Dr. Hare, Binary Bard, and El Mustachio Grande. Here is a photo showing which parts belong to who.

The red circles are the parts that are from Dr. Hare, the blue circles are parts that are from Binary Bard, and the purple circles are the parts from El Mustachio Grande.
This is almost as cool as Black Widow's reappearance. That is right, it appears that Black Widow will be back again in an upcoming Island or Mini-Quest. Scroll down to the post below to see the photos of Black Widow on the upcoming new Island or Mini-Quest.

Have I Seen This Before?

When I saw the new PCB post today I thought it looked familiar...

Man in the moon

I wonder if he's up here somewhere...  


SHARK BOY

 The the device in the bottom left corner of the new PCB post is the EMF Detector from Ghost Story.
...This island will be awesome!!

In some bigger news, there appears to be a new Island with an old face coming soon. First, remember how the last four or five Daily Pop posts have been about art? Check out this one!

I know what you are thinking... Just more art, this time it's just been painted on by a vandal...
What I have to say to that is yes, you are completely right. But there is something hidden that is very important. Look at the top and you see these...

I know the photo is grainy because of being zoomed in but you can still see the important part! The bottom picture appears to be of Black Widow's hair and the top photo is of Black Widow herself! You can clearly see her lips, hair, and the top of her signature hourglass symbol.
This means that the Black Widow will at least have her likeness in whatever this is a preview for, and this could lead to two things.

1. An island that is a sequel to Counterfeit island.
2. A Mini-Quest that is a sequel to a Counterfeit Island.

The first would be cool, but probably won't happen. You never know though, Counterfeit was the first Island to have another Island in the plot so it might be the first Island to have an Island as a sequel. An island based on Black Widow herself could be pretty awesome, but most likely will not happen.

The second is the most likely way that the Black Widow will be brought back to Poptropica in a new way. We all remember Dr. Hare's Secret Lab, the Mini-Quest that was a sequel to 24 Carrot Island. I am betting that there will be a new Mini-Quest in the next couple of months about Black Widow, art, and possibly France (the setting of Counterfiet Island).

What do you think about Black Widow reappearing in the  Daily Pop? Comment and tell me!

Here's My Number, So Call Me Moonrock?

With the new Membership Items being in the Store, there is a new PCB post announcing it!

Members, get your exclusive Lunar Colony gear!

Now in the Poptropica Store, Members can get their exclusive Lunar Colony gear! There are three out-of-this-world items available: a handheld moon rock, the Alien Archaeology power, and the epic "Zaggy Moondust" costume. The costume is available only for a limited time!

More information about Lunar Colony is coming soon. Keep it right here for the latest!


BLACK WIDOW

After looking back at previous release dates, Poptropolis Games and Wimpy Boardwalk were both released 14 days after their respective Members Only Ger Pack, so my guess is that Lunar Colony will be released August 9th, 14 days after the Members Only Items were actually released in the store. Lets see how close my guess is!
Also there is a new advertiment for the Lorax on DVD and Blu-Ray. Here are the prizes.

More than that, I am on the high score board yet again!

Are these getting old?

Today, there was yet another PCB post about a Creators favorite Island.

Creators' favorite Islands: Master Mime's picks

We're sharing the Poptropica creators' picks for their favorite Islands. Today: Master Mime.

I really get a kick out of Wild West Island. This island has a lot of fun elements like riding a horse on top of buildings, shooting at targets with a pea shooter, herding lost cattle with a lasso. I’ve had many compliments from the residents about how tough I look with an old dusty cow poke hat, some strawberry chewing gum in my lip, and a rattle snake rope by my side.

For a mini island experience, nothing beats the adrenaline rush of swinging those Legendary Swords at those wacky E-Vile robots.


MASTER MIME

Who would have thought the little mime from France would love the old American wild west and slashing at some E. Ville robots?

Also there is a new Wimpy Kid Advertisement. There are four games you can play.

Ice Cream Balance: You must balance about 20 scoops of ice cream on one cone and carry it over to Greg. Once you win you get Sweaty's Dog Bowl.

Water Ball Bounce: This is just like beach ball. Score six points and you win! The prize is a soggy cellphone.

Snack Bar: This is exactly like D.C. Diner, the game used to promote Mystery Train. Just get the food people ask for to them before time runs out and win a huge fruit smoothie.

Perfect Splash: This is like diving in Poptropolis, just click on the circles when they pop up and try your best. The prize for this is Fregley's Bandage Costume.

Name That Suit One

Scroll down for updates!

This is a contest to come up with the best name for a suit. Who ever comments with the best name for the suit shown in this post with in the next week wins the contest and gets thier name on the contest page.

3 For One!

Today, the creator showing off his favorite islands is Shark Boy!

Creators' favorite Islands: Shark Boy's picks

We're sharing the Poptropica creators' picks for their favorite Islands. Today: Shark Boy.

I love mythology and really enjoyed seeing many mythological characters come to life with a fun Poptropica twist.

This was the first Island I helped write the story for, and where Shark Boy was born.

Although not a full island, this mini-quest is a personal favorite. I was able to write the story for this one, and even though it was a short quest, we were able to pack in a bunch of fun and interesting interactive elements.


SHARK BOY

 Finally a creator chooses the island that their character is from!
And we now know he wrote those islands. That's pretty cool!
You know whats cooler? This!
I was looking at the Lunar Colony info page and saw this.

"Eye Color Changing Station"

 If you can't see what it says, it says "Eye Color Change Station" which i would think would mean we could change our eye color! First shoes then eye color change. How awesome!
Finally, the new members only items have been released for Lunar Colony!

The World is a Vampire

Today the Creator featuring his favorite island is Comic Kid!

Creators' favorite Islands: Comic Kid's picks

We're sharing the Poptropica creators' picks for their favorite Islands. Today: Comic Kid.

I really loved the spooky yet fun feel to this island. I love Eastern Europe so designing the village and parts of the castle was quite a treat for me and I had fun all the while. Plus, who doesn't want to be a bat and fly around? Talk about awesome!

Another genre I appreciate a lot is that of the cowboy and the Wild West. The building designs for this island were really fun to create and see developed. I really liked the sunset setting for Dusty Gulch, the island's Main Street. In fact, I love all the towns for this island!


COMIC KID

He is the first creator to choose two islands and to choose them for design, rather than play, reasons.
Good for you Comic Kid!

A Bunny-Pirate?

Our favorite evil Rabbit Scientist Man has put his favorite island in the spotlight today with his newest post.

Creators' favorite Islands: Dr. Hare's pick

We're sharing the Poptropica creators' picks for their favorite Islands. Today: Dr. Hare.

Skullduggery Island is one of my personal favorites. I love the variety of gameplay on this Island. From classic questing to battling and trading on the high seas, this Island really has it all! That Crawfish fellow gave me some trouble though. If only I had my rabbot…


DR. HARE

 Once again, the creator hasn't picked their own island as their favorite!
 I wonder who will be next?

Director D. Cashes in his favorite Island

Yet again we have a PCB post about the Creators Favorite island. Today's Creator putting the spot light on an island is Director D. and yet again the island chosen is somewhat of a surprise.

Creators' favorite Islands: Director D.'s picks

We're sharing the Poptropica creators' picks for their favorite Islands. Today: Director D.

It’s so much fun to see an island dedicated to some of the greatest urban legends of all time! The scariest part for me was the Jersey Devil.

I love sword fighting games! This adventure doesn’t disappoint. You get to battle an evil robot invasion, upgrade your swords, build up an inventory of energy crystals, and battle a huge robot before it reaches Poptropica!


DIRECTOR D.

So Cryptids! Nothing more fun then chasing imaginary  animals across the world to win a nice lump of cash, then give it all away to help Big Foot. How fun! Cryptids is a prety good island, though.
But I didn't think Legendary swords was an island...
What do you think?

Lunar Colony Info

I was checking the Lunar Colony Info Page when I saw it had been updated!

An abandoned space station. A missing astronaut. A signal from beyond the stars. Blast off for a Poptropica adventure like no other! Get ready to explore the secrets of the lunar surface, and uncover a mystery as old as the cosmos...

You've returned to earth just in time to receive a new transmission. Can you crack the code and translate the alien message? Find out how to get Membership now!

Members get an additional Lunar Colony gear pack, which includes Zaggy Moondust costume, Alien Archaeology power, and Moon Rock item. The Zaggy Moondust costume is ONLY available during Early Access!

 It all makes more sense now! Comment and tell me what you think!

50,000 Hits Contest: Coming Soon!

        

With the blog under 200 short of 50,000 hits, I have decided that a contest should be made. This contest is going to have a big prize. I'm pretty sure that many of you will want to...

That's right, I am going to give this away!
The catch is that I am not going to post how the contest works or how to win this awesome prize till i get my 50,000th hit! So come and check back daily to see when I get the 50,000th hit and post how to win this guy! The wait is on!

A Pirate Ninja??

A Pirate Ninja?? That is correct! According to the new PCB post, Captain Crawfish's favorite ilsand is Red Dragon!

Creators' favorite Islands: Captain Crawfish's pick

Over the next week, we'll be sharing the Poptropica creators' picks for their favorite Islands. Today: Captain Crawfish.

My favorite is Red Dragon Island. I love the art for old Japan, and I especially like all the cool ninja powers you learn to use near the end. You wouldn't expect an old sea salt with a peg leg could master the grappling hook, but I did it!


CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

 So does this make Captain Crawfish a pirate ninja? I guess it does. What do you think the other Creators will pick? Comment and tell me your guesses!

In other news...

 If I would have had a 6x multiplier instead of a 5x multiplier I would have had 3,437,950 points!!!

Scavenger Hunt Four

 Scroll down for updates!

What island is this from?

It's a mystery.

Post a comment with the name of the island this is from to be the winner!

Fly Me to the Moondust, and Let Me Live Amongst the Stars.

With Wimpy Boardwalk being out a whole day now there is a new update on the newest Island to come to Poptropica, Lunar Colony!

Gravity malfunction!

I guess traveling into outer space is one way to lose weight... 


CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

It appears that this man is at the Lunar Colony and the gravity has been switched off. Interesting, but with the new island what happens to Zaggy Moondunst?
The world may never know...

So an asteroid hits a space ship and....

I got back from camp and I noticed i missed a whole lot!!!
The most important is the new island!

Announcing the next Poptropica Island!

Check out the trailer for the next Poptropica Island: Lunar Colony!

Do you have the right stuff? 


SHARK BOY\

So all the space Daily Pops I have been posting are the previews for the new island! Is it just me or does this island look amazing!!! From the name it sounds like it will be Poptropicans living on the moon. Lunar being the moon and colony implying we will live there. But what about the aliens or green Poptropicans or whatever they are on the Pwter moon that you can access through the space ship on Astro-Knights?
There is also another cool PCB post.

What's your Thunder Volt high score?

We're all huge fans of Thunder Volt here, which you can play as a part of the bonus quest on Wimpy Boardwalk. It doesn't look like anybody will ever be able to top Greg Heffley's score. Friendly Bug here didn't even come close.

How does your score compare?


SHARK BOY

That's a pretty good score, but not as good as mine!

Over 3 million!
