Advertisements, Counterfeit Island, Sneak Peeks

Refreshing Drinks and Disney Dogs!

Ahh… that sure was a nice cup of water.

Yes, water = food = French-like Island sneak peek! Thanks, Funny Penguin, for the news! Anyway, Comic Kid, one of the Poptropica Creators, posted this today:

Blog Post Title: Time for a Drink
Description: On my long travels I get pretty thirsty. Luckily I found some punch and water from these coolers on the side of the road. Delicious!

Also, there’s a new advertisement building on 24 Carrot, Super Power, and Spy Island, called “Disney Space Buddies Dog Park”! Thanks, Shiny Leaf, for telling us about the new ad, and Director Lion (Gentle Lion) for informing us on the locations! It’s so famous there’s even a post about it on the Creators’ Blog – and it’s rare that they actually talk about the advertisements! I think that maybe Disney, the company being advertised for their Space Buddies movie, paid extra money to have their ad building advertised on the Creators’ Blog too (it’s just a guess though). You can read their post here: http://blog.poptropica.com/2009/02/where-no-poptropican-has-gone-before.html

Here’s a cut-and-paste image I took of the outside part of the plane-shaped advertisement (yes, it may be a little uneven): 😛

Inside it, you can do a mission. Walk into the room behind the man in the space suit, and click on the green button next to the space helmet. The doors to the room will close, but the door on the ceiling opens up, letting you fly through space! Fly up there!disneyspacebuddiessuit

Your task is to find the 5 missing space dogs around outer space (actually, the black area around the ad building). If you find one, all you have to do it touch it (or crash it) to transport it back to the building. The bad news is, there is a limit of time – “oxygen” – you have to find all five space dogs. The good news is, there is no limit on how many times you can try the mission in case you don’t succeed the first time. The bad news is, there are a couple meteors out in space that, if you crash into, will “WHACK” you like the criminals of Super Power Island. Good luck!

Oh, and there’s prizes too (yay, more good stuff!). But the bad news (again) is that it’s for a limited time only, which means it’s only temporary. Anyway, here they are:

  • Disney: Space Buddies Space Suit (see the figure on the right)
    An awesome white space suit (it doesn’t have any special effects, though).
  • Disney: Space Buddies Firecracker
    When you use it (by pressing the “Use” button on its item card), a firecracker will fly around the screen, then at the end, shows the “Disney Space Buddies” logo.

By the way, we are apparently still having a problem controlling what we say when it comes to new posts on the Creators’ Blog. Yep, you know what I mean – and this notice, now appearing for the 5th time, will tell you if you don’t get it!

Special Note: It is not a race to be the first to tell everyone about a new post on the Creators’ Blog. We’ve had many comments saying the same thing (”New post on Creators’ Blog!!!!”) and it is very annoying. If someone has already mentioned it, don’t bother to say it again – it’s not necessary. If people continue to spam and repeat the same thing over an over again, it will show us that you cannot handle this and we will stop giving out credits. Please comment appropriately. Thanks!

  1. Yay! First comment! I totally agree that it’s not a race. About 7 different people posted that! Anyway, that firecracker is always fun to use. 🙂

  2. i think the french island sneak peek could be the tour de france, a really big bike race in france, because it has part of a bike in the picture.

  3. 😦 Scary Tomato, I don’t do that, do I? I mean always saying that theres a new post on the poptropica creator’s blog when someone already said that. 😦

    Scary Tomato: I don’t mention any names, but if you think that’s you then you know that you should stop. 😉

  4. I think the Space Buddies mission is really cool! I saw it on Spy Island, too. (I think). 😛

  5. Wow. They even have a post on the creator’s blog for the new Space Buddies Mission. They never really tell what the advertisement building is. Maybe it’s important.

  6. How cool. I think the sneak peak is of the Tour de’ France. Maybe.

    Also if you didn’t notice already. The Space Buddies Dog Park was going to be my new sneak peak. “A very special dog!” lol. Ill have to find another story.

  7. Hey! Maybe those “French” sneak peaks are parts of a French Planet in Astro-Knights! LOL I doubt it though…

  8. i have a wierd glitch/cheat for the space buddies mission. you go to super power island and go to the space station. the once youre in, you click on the button at the bottom of your screen that makes you fly. then you will be able to fly in space and get the dogs that way. then go back and talk to the dude and you will get your prize.

    Scary Tomato: No offense, but there’s no point. The space suit you put on in the mission automatically lets you fly. 😉

  9. Actually Scary Tomato, The ad in on Spy Island, 24 Carrot Island, and Super Power Island.

    Scary Tomato: Thanks for the locations! 🙂

  10. y’know, i don’t think you’ll worry about the problem all day. theres no new post on the creators blog(yet)!!

    Scary Tomato: There may not be one yet, but as soon as there is, people immediately start talking about it. What they don’t seem to realize is that if they can check the PCB for themselves, so can we, right? 😉

  11. It says its a place wherre no Poptropican has gone before as the title. In spy island we went into space.

    Scary Tomato: The “place where no Poptropican has gone before” is probably a different part of “space” than Spy Island’s. 😉

  12. I know a cool cheat to get to keep the backpack you get given in space!
    1. First win the costume
    2. Then go into space again
    3. when you are in space go into your inventory and take OF your space suit.
    4. Go into the capsule and press the green button
    5. Then you have the jetpack

    P.S. It cant make you fly but it looks cool

  13. there is a new post on the creators blog about reality tv island, sorry if someone posted this before me.

  14. Icy typhoon’s glitch (#12) does help because when you do it with your own flying power, you’re not timed and there are no meteors.

  15. i know how to cheat in that mission go to super power island and use the super power fly in the mission of space buddies.

  16. IF you go to the spaceship when it is on Super Hero Island you can use the flying power to go into space with unlimited oxegen by not opeing the air lock. You can just go through the ceiling,

    Scary Tomato: That’s cool! :mrgreen:

  17. I was on poptropica in the soda pop shop, and I saw a girl wearing a cool shirt. It was pink with a white music note on it, and I haven’t seen it on an island and it it wasn’t from an advertisement, either. Where do you think it came from, Scary Tomato?
    Oh,and I customized it. it’s not one of the new clothes, either.

    Scary Tomato: Actually, that probably IS one of the new clothes. 😉
