Running errands for Zeus,
Battling Binary Bard over a princess,
Gotta make my mind up…
Which villain gets my vote?ย
It’s the final showdown for the greatest Poptropica villain, and only two candidates remain.
Between Zeus, the king of all the Greek gods…
…orย Binary Bard, part jester and part machine…
Who are YOU voting for?
In other news, there’s an ad game for Lemonade Mouth of Disney Channel. Mr. Funnybones has kindly provided the following video tutorial for those who need it:
Even stealthy ninjas need a little help sometimes. And that’s what the Poptropica Help Blog is here for. Thanks to Super Thunder and Icy Comet, a guide is now available for the new Red Dragon Island! Just click here for the walkthrough (it even has pictures!), or here for the island page. Update: Red Dragon Island will be released to all on June 2nd, 2011!
If you prefer to be taught visually, our video playlist with the trailer video and four-part guide by YouTuber Graser10 is now available on our YouTube channel.ย We are working on creating a labeled map for this Magic Tree House-based island, but in the meantime, the Poptropica Creators have released the trailer video that’s sure to get you excited to help out Jack and Annie!
Can you save your friends from a legendary power? This is the test!

The Flamin’ Skulls are looking for some new members. Reply on the Poptropica band’s website if you’re interested!
Party With Hobos is going to be releasing a mega-awesome episode on June 3rd, 2011! You won’t want to miss TheGoldenTicket!
Our Poptropica Creators Database has been updated with information about Chris Barney, a name recently uncovered by PHB reader Lewis!
“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”
Available exclusively for paying Poptropica members, the Midnight Red Ninja is the latest costume to hit the Poptropica Store and is inspired by the upcoming Red Dragon Island – the perfect outfit to wear when the island rolls out!
Did this happen to remind anyone else of the clothes in the movie The Princess Bride? No? Just me then. ๐
ย Prince Humperdinck: Surrender.ย Westley: You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept.
And while this costume is only for members, nonmembers don’t have to feel too bad either – although no new costumes for nonmembers were added, there’s always the good old Samurai and original Midnight Ninja.
[UPDATE!] The Red Dragon Island sneak preview has been modified to include a traveling salesman who has set up a little kiosk titled ‘Curio Shop’ where you can easily purchase the new Midnight Red Ninja costume. It’s located next to the wrestling ring.
Now that's what I call customer service.
Maybe putting it on will give you a new confidence to take down those other sumo wrestlers so you can finally claim that Yokozuna title.
The Creators have posted a new video and it is titled “Coming Soon to Poptropica: Kanji Secret.” On YouTube, the description is:
A new island is coming to Poptropica! What will the name of this new island be? The kanji holds the answer!
And here is the video:
Dragons, patterns, and… some Japanese words. If anyone is able to read it, we could have the secret of the next island! According to our readers’ comments, it seems that everyone can agree that the Kanji reads “Red Dragon”!
For those of you who have already finished Wimpy Wonderland Island by now, congratulations! But for those of you who haven’t, a new challenge has now been added as part of the island quest, which means extra fun (or work, depending on how you look at it, but hopefully fun, right?)!
To get Greg off his video game console, you’ll have to beat the game Twisted Wizard for him! Captain Crawfish of the PCB described it as “three levels of ogre-zapping fun” and generously offers this helpful tip:ย You can rotate the blocks by pressing the space bar.
Happy wizarding!
Already completed Wimpy Wonderland? You can still experience the fun by going to the ‘Games‘ tab in your inventory and selecting the Twisted Wizard CD!
