Super Villain Island resources, a new PHB slogan, and possibly other gaming devices!

The PHB’s written walkthrough for Super Villain Islandย (with pictures) is now available! Thanks goes to Samwow5 and Cool Bite for their help. You can access it quickly by clicking on the Super Villain Island icon in the sidebar.

We also have a video playlist for SV Island on our YouTube channel, and links to more resources such as a map on our discussion page. The island comes out for everyone on October 18 – only three weeks away. ๐Ÿ™‚

In honor of Super Villain Island, the PHB has a new header… with a new slogan! “Poptropica Help Blog: We put the POP in Poptropica.” It’s got a ring to it. ๐Ÿ˜€ And, if anyone’s wondering, the “POP” is that explosion of excitement you get when you visit the PHB. Yes, don’t deny it. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Wondering how Brave Flame and Young Clown from theย top 10 finishersย of the new island got those robes? Finishing the members-only bonus quest grants you a reward – in this case, theย Dream Guardianย costume!

Oh, and remember the DS game Poptropica’s going to be releasing? PHB reader Samwow5 found an article about it in French, and when translated, it mentions that besides the Nintendo DS, they might be considering “other portable gaming devices.” Hmm…

Super Villain Island: Now in early access!

Haaaave you played Super Villain Island yet? It’s now out for members, so join the millions of other players all trying to log in at the same time and hope that maybe your screen won’t freeze from lag so that you can play Poptropica’s 30th island! ๐Ÿ˜€

Non-members get to play a demo version of the island for now. The Poptropica Help Blog will have a guide up as soon as possible now has a guide available! We also have a discussion page, with links to the tour page, island extras, and more. Feel free to post comments over there or on this post if you have any questions or if you want to provide some help to others also playing the new island quest. Another great place to do that would be the PHC, where you can get responses from others in real time.

So, what do you think of Super Villain Island? The Creators think it may just be the best one yet! Do you think it lives up to its hype? ๐Ÿ™‚

Comics

Saving the day… because he’s Super Hot Dog Boy!

If you’ve been around since the early days of the Poptropica Creators’ Blog, maybe you’ll remember this old comic! A cheesy tale of heroism and hot dogs, Super Hot Dog Boy came in 4 parts. It’s so old that even the PHB had only been around for about a month when I first posted about it! Wow. ๐Ÿ™‚

Back in the day, these comics wereย posted by Comic Kid, the PCB alter ego of Super Power Island‘s Ned Noodlehead! This Thursday, however, we get to discover our inner Super Hot Dog Boy by playing Super Villain Island! (Yup, there’s the word “super” again.) So that’s why the Creators decided to repost the comics. ๐Ÿ˜›

Click “Read More” below to view them fully enlarged right here on this blog, or view the original PHB posts about them.
