Still stuck on Astro Knights?

August 11, 2011 Shaggy Tornado

I’m sure most of you already finished Astro Knights Island, but for the people who haven’t yet, Poptropica made a step-by-step walkthrough with video guides and all you need to complete one of the most challenging islands ever made on Poptropica! Of course, you can always use our PHB Island Help resources! 😀 Here’s how to get it and how it works (thanks to Striped Grape for the pics) :

Go to Astro Knights Island and walk until you see this stand:

Simply click on the card to get it! The best par: it’s free! *throws confetti into the air* 😀 The card appears in your Astro Knights inventory. Click “USE” and this menu should pop up:

Main Menu: This is the main page that pops up. It shows the most popular help topics that people need help on in Astro Knights.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough: This page shows the steps needed to complete Astro Knights! It tells you how to get items, where and when you get to use them, how to solve the tile puzzle, and how to defeat bosses like the Dragotank and Binary Bard. Each step is accompanied by a video guide with a play, pause, and repeat button so you can watch all the action! 😀

Help Topics by Category: The name should explain it all, shouldn’t it? 😀 The help topics are categorized by Key Items, Quest Objectives, and Boss Battles.

Hope you guys find the Poptropica guide and our PHB guides helpful! 🙂

One last note: I might not be able to post much because high school starts for me soon too, so if the authors could save Friday’s posts for me, that would be great! Kthxbai 😀

Store

Would you like some ketchup/mustard/wasabi with that?

August 6, 2011August 6, 2011 Shaggy Tornado

Great news Poptropicans! Have you heard of the new upgrades to the Hot Dog and Tofu Dog costumes in the Potpropica store? They now come with new handheld bottles of ketchup, organic ketchup, mustard, and wasabi! Perfect for squirting unsuspecting passerbys! And for squirting Captain Crawfish before nomming him! 😀

New this week in the Poptropica Store

The only thing that can make a hot dog better is some ketchup and mustard. That’s why we’ve upgraded the Hot Dog costumes in the Poptropica Store with a new power!

Now, when you costumize the Hot Dog, you can choose to give your character a bottle of ketchup or mustard to squirt onto unsuspecting Poptropicans. For vegetarians, the Tofu Dog costume now comes with bottles of wasabi sauce and organic ketchup.

Best of all, if you’ve already got the Hot Dog or the Tofu Dog in your inventory, now you’ve got the new powers, too! No need to do anything but costumize them.

Enjoy!

*Captain Crawfish runs away from PHB in fear*

GET HIM!!!!!!!!!

But before you run off with your armed squirt bottles, thanks to Striped Grape for showing us pics of this new upgrade!

Tofu Dog Item Card. The Hot Dog card will look just like this, except it's replaced by ketchup and mustard.

*runs off with mob to squirt CC*

The shrinking countdown to Shrink Ray!

July 21, 2011July 21, 2011 Shaggy Tornado

In a week, Poptropica’s 20th Island will be releasing to the non members! Who’s a nonmember who’s excited?! 😀 I sure am. The Creators made a post for this momentous occasion! So stop jumping around happy and read the post! 😛

Shrinking the days away

The dog days of summer keep dragging along. Shrink Ray Island will be available for all to play on Thursday, July 28. But if you’re a Poptropica Member, you can play it right now!

Even if you’re not a Member, you can still try out the opening portion of the Island by visiting your travel map and heading to Shrink Ray Island. You can also keep playing the Shrink Shot game.

No matter what you choose to do, there’s lots of tiny fun you can have on Poptropica this summer!

Apparently, Shrink Shot is still up, so if you haven’t gotten all 4 prizes (Shrink Ray Balloon, Crayons, Grape Gum, Soda Bottle), Sparkle Power for members, or beaten the High score of Sharkboy yet, you still have time. Good luck! Well, have fun waiting for Shrink Ray everyone!

In other news…

Theres a new Smurfs ad building! It is set in a toy store with the owner having a dilemma. The Smurfs are trying to find the Stargazer, which is a telescope. They all have clues as to what it is. You have to find all the clues and find the Stargazer before the store closes in 1 minute. If you win, you get SMURF Transform, which lets you turn any Poptropican into a Smurf! Pictures below (Thanks Striped Grape!):

If you need help, a video walkthrough of the ad has been kindly provided by Loud Shark. Thanks!

Congrats to the next Poptropica Superstar!

EDIT: Sorry about the deleted picture of the video for the Smurf’s ad. I have no idea why they would delete it.

The Creators’ have introduced the next installment of Poptropica Superstars with today’s superstar: Grey Icicle! 😀

Poptropica Superstars: Grey Icicle

Introducing another Poptropica Superstar: Grey Icicle!

Not to be confused with our first Poptropica Superstar, Grey Icicle is nevertheless a dedicated player who you’ve seen most recently as one of the first 10 finishers of Shrink Ray Island. Grey Icicle has been playing Poptropica for over 2 years, and in that time has torn through some of our toughest islands within days of their release. He’s also won 93 games of Skydive!

Grey Icicle, congratulations on being a Poptropica Superstar!

We at the PHB Give you a big hearty congratulations on this Honorable position! 🙂

In other news, 2 new ads have made their way into the Poptropica world: The Smurfs and Fijit Friends. Screenshots are provided by Striped Grape!

First off, the Smurfs ad isn’t a building ad, but a video ad. When you watch the video (which is about the movie coming out sometime this m onth), at the end, you get a free Smurfs costume!

The next ad is Fjit Friends, which is for girls. It’s a product that is a girl’s best friend and can say a lot of phrases. Inside there is a video, a quiz game, and a dummy with a costume from one of the Fijit Friends.

Well, have fun with these ads, and congrats again to Grey Icicle! 🙂 ~ST

Error…Restart!

July 7, 2011July 7, 2011 Shaggy Tornado

Have you ever loved an island so much you just want to do it again? Are you stuck, or made a mistake and it can’t be fixed? Well, the Creator’s have made a solution! Drum roll please! *drum roll starts*

Announcing Island Restart!

One of Poptropica’s most requested features is finally here. Now, you can replay any Poptropica Island as much as you want!

Just visit the map screen on the Island you want to restart, and press the round “RESTART ISLAND” button in the bottom righthand corner. Presto! Your adventure begins anew.

If you’ve already completed an Island and earned that Island’s Medallion, never fear! You won’t lose it. Your Medallion will still appear on the Stats screen. Plus, when you move your cursor over your Island Medallions on the Stats screen, you’ll even see how many times you’ve completed each Island.

So what are you waiting for? Get out there and start your Poptropica adventure all over again!

Awesome! The Creators’ have read our minds! Seems like we could do ANY, I mean ANY Island over! So if you made mistakes or your account was glitched, make sure you use this feature! 😀
