How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

There’s a new ad in town! You may need a younger account and one of the Main Streets you can find this on is Super Villain Island’s. Thanks to Samwow5 and Tough Spider for their help in the guide.

When you get to the advertisement, go in and you’ll find a boy sucking a lollipop. He asks you whether or not you know the number of licks needed to finish a Tootsie Pop, and you reply that you don’t know. Then you’ll need to go upstairs and ask Mr. Owl.

The instructions say: Keep the Tootsie Rolls from hitting Mr. Owl, so he won’t get distracted from licking the Tootsie Pop. Tip: Stay on him and jump around next to him, or just stand in front of him. If you do it correctly, he stops at around 60 because he accidentally bit it off. He gives you the prizes, a Tootsie Pop Costume and the Mr. Owl Follower.

 Now you try: get a Tootsie Pop and count how many licks it takes! Don’t bite it off! 😛

Sneak Peeks, Super Villain Island

Can you feel the fear tonight?

Recent Daily Pops have been hinting at a new city-themed adventure… but what happens when the city lights start to dim? This sneak peek from the Creators’ Blog could be for an upcoming new Halloween feature!

He appears to be carrying a flashlight – is that what the battery bar is for down at the bottom left corner? Well whatever you do, don’t let that light run out… or Slenderman will get you. Maybe.

While we’re on the subject of nighttime, don’t forget that the members-only limited edition Night Hare costume will be gone from the Store when Super Villain Island is released to everyone next Thursday, October 18th! Grab it now while you still can. Super Villain is this year’s most popular island, Poptropica’s 30th island, and if you need help, our Super Villain Guide and other resources should have you covered.

Finally, check out our Fourth Annual Halloween Costume Competition! We’ve received lots of great entries so far and would love to see yours, too, if you haven’t entered yet. And even if you have, you’re welcome to enter more!

Advertisements, Comics, Super Villain Island

A new poll on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog asks, “What is your favorite new Island of 2012?” A vast majority of the votes – over half (53%) – went to the all-new Super Villain Island! (Be sure to check out our guide if you need any help.) The rest were Lunar Colony (9%), Wimpy Boardwalk (8%), Poptropolis Games (8%), Twisted Thicket (6%), Vampire’s Curse (9%), and SOS Island (4%). Percentages are at the time of this post, but there’s still time left to cast your vote. 😀

Some other recent news & PCB posts:

  • Mad Scientist, Mad Tornado discovered this item card SWF of an amulet that never quite made it into Vampire’s Curse Island. Click here to see it.
  • More villains than you can shake your stick at – What other Poptropica evildoers have you found at Erewhon Prison?
  • Standup comics – Because reading the daily paper is too old-school.

There’s a new ad for Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, for the DVD coming out on Tuesday, October 16. You can find it on Lunar Colony and some other islands. Thanks to Samwow5 for the guide and prize pics:

To complete the walkthrough go all the right and talk to Alex, the lion. He says he wants a circus act that blows everyone way. Then ask the second question and go into the cannon. The goal: you have to move with the mouse (up and down) through as many rings as possible but don’t miss to many or you will have to start over.

When you win you get the Marty Costume and the Circus Cannon Power. Da da da da da da circus, da da da da da da da da afro… 🙂

And thanks to Cyclone for the pic below. Gotta love that circus afro! 😀

Arrr you going to save the kingdom with your pencil? Four new books for the adventurous Poptropica reader!

Slanted Fish

Poptropica’s been hard at work, and 4 new books are expected to be released on November 8th, 2012. Of course… not to brag or anything… but the PHB had already been posting about it months before! (see here, here, or here) Anyway, now we’ve got some blurbs for the books, and you can click on the title to check it out on Amazon. 😛

Skullduggery Island: In this 160-page illustrated novel, a cruel pirate named Captain Crawfish has been raiding the small port of Fort Ridley. Our hero must embark on a journey to find a powerful ship and skilled crew to help him defeat Captain Crawfish and recover a map that will lead the islanders of Fort Ridley back to their treasure.

Astro-Knights Island: In this 160-page illustrated novel, the princess of the Kingdom of Arturus has been kidnapped by an evil inventor named Mordred who has taken her off into space. Our hero now must learn to build his own space craft and travel to the stars on an intergalactic quest to rescue the princess and save the kingdom of Arturus.

Pencil Warrior: Something sinister is erasing its way across Poptropica, and the only way to stop it is by re-drawing all the islands and re-creating the world before this new threat can erase every trace. This 64-page full-color doodle book is perfect for fans of Poptropica and anyone who loves to draw.

Poptropica Mad Libs: Poptropica Mad Libs features 21 hilarious and action-packed stories based on games and missions from the website. Fans of the site will love to bring the adventure to life by filling in the blanks of our brand new Mad Libs!

This makes 5 books, in addition to the first Poptropica book, Poptropica: The Official Guide, which was released last year. Do you own a copy of the guidebook? Which one of these new books do you plan to add to your bookshelf? 😀
