Fionna & Cake video ad and costumes on Poptropica

Slanted Fish

Fionna and Cake

On Monday, February 18 at 7:30/6:30c, Cartoon Network is having a half-hour special of Adventure Time: Fionna & Cake! (It’s the gender-swapped version of Finn & Jake.) Watch the long video trailer on Main Streets (such as Zomberry or Shark Tooth) and at the end, you’ll receive a bonus costume prize for your Poptropica dude or dudette. Thanks to Mall Manager Clown for the heads-up.

Boys will get the Marshall Guitar of Love (pictured, left) and girls will get the Fionna Sword of Hearts (pictured, right). When you press the spacebar, for boys, your character plays the guitar and hearts will come out; for girls, your character twirls the sword… and, yup, hearts will come out. Enjoy your post-Valentine’s weapons of affection! 😀

UPDATE: Check out the new PHB article, Poptropica: Game Review! It’s listed under Cool Stuff.

Poptropica island trivia now on the PHB!

Slanted Fish

Island trivia

Did you know that one of the original names for Poptropica was Poptropolis? What do you think of the fact that it’s possible to have a Poptropica name that’s the same as one of the islands? And have you noticed that Gamer Guy’s drink on Zomberry Island, Valley Rain, is a parody of Mountain Dew?

The Poptropica Help Blog now has “Island Trivia” on all our island info pages, documenting all the little things about Poptropica’s islands that you may or may not have missed. Even the island release dates and common rooms are included. Hope you’ll enjoy taking a look at all the trivial details compiled within these pages! If you’ve got any good ones you think are worth mentioning, leave a comment.

Here’s another good one: the inspector’s cottage on Counterfeit Island has a sign that (mis)spells the villain’s name in French! Bet you didn’t see that coming.

In other news, the “blog” prefix has been dropped from the PHB’s URL. That means it’s now PoptropicaHelp.net – shorter to remember and still the place to go for Poptropica help and more. 😀

Power Rangers: Loogie Chase – Poptropica ad walkthrough

Slanted Fish

Power Rangers loogie chase

There’s a new ad game on Main Streets (such as Zomberry) for Saban’s Power Rangers Megaforce, and the objective is to lead Vrak’s evil forces, the Loogies (those yellow-and-black creatures), to the Power Rangers at the end of the chase! Thanks to Samwow5 for the heads-up.

The mission: don’t let the Loogies catch up to you, but keep running until you reach the end of the city landscape. You’ll be given a weapon, which you can use to shoot small obstacles in front of you (press spacebar). For bigger obstacles, you’ll have to jump over them. When you near the end, you’ll fall into an underground pit – keep running and you’ll reach the Power Rangers, who will take care of the Loogies from there. Go go Power Rangers! 🙂

For your heroic efforts, you’ll receive a Power Rangers Uniform (pink for girls; red for boys) and RoboKnight Power (surroundings flash red for a moment and you wear the yellow RoboKnight suit).
