We already have information about the upcoming Poptropica Nintendo DS game – see posts here and here. It’s called Poptropica Adventures, and now there’s a page on the Poptropica website for it! (Thanks, Fuzzy Bubble.) You can see it here.

(Warning: Cheesy female voice speaks in this ad/trailer video.)

Among the information on the page are: the trailer video (see above), pictures, description, where to buy, Poptropica wish list, E for Everyone rating, a quote from Jeff Kinney…

“We’re excited to bring the world of Poptropica to the Nintendo DS. We’ve picked three of our most popular Islands and given them a twist with exciting new challenges and storylines. We think kids will have fun exploring our world in an experience only the Nintendo DS can deliver!”

…and not only is all this available starting November 6th, but when you buy this, it comes with a redeemable code that gives you two free costumes! One is a lightning-studded warrior, and the other is a surfer, dressed in purple and with snake hair.

Get ready to explore Poptropica’s most popular islands – Super Power, Astro-Knights, and Mythology – like never before. 🙂

A Pumpkin-ized Poptropica

October 25, 2012October 25, 2012 Slanted Fish

At the North Logan Pumpkin Walk in Utah, some beloved Poptropica Creators unleashed their creativity by building a pumpkin-based exhibit for Poptropica! Here are the photos from the Creators’ Blog. 😀

Too good to be eaten! And if you visit this Cache Valley display this season, who knows – you may even get to see a Poptropica Creator! 😛

Do you like it? What other Poptropica elements should have a chance to shine?

I see skeletons, skeletons everywhere

A new Skeleton Power is now in the Poptropica Store! It’s a gold card item that’s 75 credits, or free for members. Click on “I’m a Skeleton” to turn into a skeleton, or “I See Skeletons” to turn every character in the area into a skeleton! The costume comes as a head piece and body piece you can customize off.

Now that’s something you might want to consider for the PHB’s 4th Annual Halloween Costume Competition! Show us your spookiest and greatest Poptropica costume here for a chance to have it featured on this blog.

As for making it big – Poptropica just recently had the 500 millionth character created on their website! It’s another milestone this year along with Poptropica turning 5 years old and releasing its 30th island. Go Poptropica! 😀

If Poptropica were a country, it would be the third biggest in the world.

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

October 17, 2012October 17, 2012 Slanted Fish

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.
