Marvelling at the Blue Marble, zigging like Zaggy Moondust, and chillin’ like a villain

Because matchy titles are so fun to say. 😀

If you’ve played the new Lunar Colony Island, you may have seen this view of planet Earth Poptropica from the moon. Turns out, the Creators had planned for it to look like a real photograph called “Earthrise,” from the Apollo 8 mission. Pretty cool! For more space pics from the Creators (“Blue Marble” and “Pale Blue Dot”) click here.

Lunar Colony will be available to everyone starting on Thursday, September 6th. Be warned, though: there’s only one week left to get the limited edition “Zaggy Moondust” costume from the Poptropica Store! Become a member to get exclusive LC Island items, including Moon Rock and Alien Archaeology powers, for free.

The tour page for Super Villain Island was released, which you can read about in Brave Tomato’s post here. The discussion page for SV Island is also up on the PHB here, so check that out as well!

EDIT: Some PHB readers have noticed that Super Villain will be Poptropica’s 30th island, just in time for Poptropica’s 5th birthday! Awesomesauce. 😀

In other news, don’t forget to enter our PHB 7 million hits contest for a chance to win a rare costume prize! You can read about and enter it here. Have a great week! 🙂

Astro-Knights Island, Counterfeit Island, Skullduggery Island, Super Villain Island

Caught in a hare-ball

Slanted Fish

As you probably know, four of Poptropica’s big-name villains will be returning for the upcoming epic “Super Villain Island,” which the PHB has a discussion page for here. 24 Carrot Island was the first time we saw Dr. Hare, and if you haven’t played that yet, check out our walkthrough here!

Want to defeat these vile villains now, before they return? Check them out at:

  • Dr. Hare – 24 Carrot Island (guide)
  • Black Widow – Counterfeit Island (guide)
  • Captain Crawfish – Skullduggery Island (guide)
  • Binary Bard – Astro-Knights Island (guide)

Keep checking back here at the PHB for the latest news on the latest islands! 😀

Advertisements, Skullduggery Island

Racing the Pirates

Slanted Fish

Racing… or erasing? The latest sneak peek from the Creators shows someone using an oversized pencil, trying to rub out Dragon Cove on Skullduggery Island. But why?

Looks like someone is attempting to rub out Poptropica as we know it. But you’re not going to let that happen, are you?

You can click the image for a better view. Even the character seems different… and the eyes aren’t on top of his head, like a regular Poptropican’s! He’s wearing orange goggles, a lab coat (?), maroon gloves and boots (wow, footwear! that’s pretty rare on Poptropica). 😛 What’s going on?

Maybe this has something to do with the Daily Pops featuring the paintings Starry Night or Water Lilies, the latter of which was vandalized, possibly by the Black Widow. Or perhaps, as PHB reader Poptropicaddict speculates, this may have something to do with the upcoming book Pencil Warrior.

Before the pirates get rubbed out, here’s a video walkthrough for the new advertisement game, Pirates: Band of Misfits, by Loud Shark. 😀

Prizes are Pirate Costume, Polly Follower, and Cannon Power. Arrr!

Super Villain Island

Lunar Colony resources and… Super Villain Island?!

Slanted Fish

First of all, all our Lunar Colony Island resources are now up and ready on the Poptropica Help Blog! The last two were already there, but the newer ones are:

With all this buzz, PHB reader Aang wants to credit Thinknoodles for the possible discovery of the next island name, which is… SUPER VILLAIN ISLAND! Dun dun dunnnn….

According to this post on the Poptropica Cheatz website, Poptropica tends to buy domain names for the names of some of their islands, such as PoptropolisGames.com or VampiresCurse.com, which all redirect to Poptropica.com. The big discovery here is that SuperVillainIsland.com also redirects to Poptropica! Try it out for yourself.

From all the recent sneak peeks about old villains making a return, and the fact that Dr. Hare wasn’t even in Lunar Colony despite his Rabbot appearing at 40 seconds in the trailer video, it seems quite likely that the next island will be all about these Super Villain[s]!
