Update! Our Wild West Guide now has pictures – thank you Super Thunder!

After much work, the Poptropica Help Network is pleased to announce that all our island resources are updated for the new release of WILD WEST ISLAND!

Wild West: Defeated!

Our Island Help page now includes links for:

Hopefully at least one of these resources will be helpful to your adventures in the wildest, most western place there is on Poptropica! And don’t forget, WILD WEST ISLAND opens to the public for free on March 14, 2011!

Wild West Island

Yeehaw! Riding west to the wild!

Slanted Fish

At least, that’s what the paid members of Poptropica are probably yelling gleefully as they start logging in to play the newest island that just came out. Yup, that’s right, Wild West Island just came out.

Just for members, of course. -_- That leaves the rest of us sitting here sadly waiting for that glorious day when we nonmembers can too join them on the wild adventure to bring Grande’s gang to justice. That would be March 14, 2011 for non-members, according to the in-game Map. (thanks, Neat Turtle!) That’s also Pi Day, for you math nerds. 😉

Hopefully, we’ll have our video and written walkthrough guides up on our Wild West Island help page soon. Any help is appreciated, just comment on this post! 🙂

Wild West Wonder

Slanted Fish

For those of you who have been playing Wild West Island’s sneak peek game of Round ‘Em Up every other day to get all the prizes, Captain Crawfish of the PCB wants to remind everyone that there’s just one prize left, and that’s the Wunder Bubble Tonic.

Unfortunately, he consumed too much of the drink and has passed out in that corner over there. *points* We have the plates, knives, and forks on the other side, so feel free to take a little snack break if you’ve been lassoing too many cows and want a rest.

Drunk on the Wunder Bubble Tonic
Thanks to Luke from the PHC for modeling some of the cowboy prizes, including the all-new Wunder Bubble Tonic, which makes your character flash random colors and blow bubbles of different colors. It’s pretty epic, so if you can, I’d recommend trying your best to win this prize!
New prizes were available every other day for a total of 7 prizes. Those prizes have expired though, but congratulations to those who won them while they were available. Past prizes include, in order starting from the first one:
  1. Sheriff Hat
  2. Sombrero
  3. Hat and Bandanna
  4. The Loaner
  5. The Hombre
  6. The Kid
  7. Wunder Bubble Tonic

The PCB has a poll asking, “How many Wild West prizes have you won?”  47% said 2 or more, 10% said just 1, and 42% said none.

So… how many prizes did YOU win?

Gnomeo, Gnomeo, wherefore art thou Gnomeo?

Slanted Fish

Help little Gnomeo, the lovestruck blue gnome of the new movie Gnomeo & Juliet, send the red gnome Juliet his love by avoiding obstacles and other red gnomes. The easiest way to do this, of course, is to fly (either with Super Power or Early Pop jetpack). If that’s not the option, here’s a video walkthrough from YouTuber secretscp to help you out:

At the end you can win two prizes! You can dress up like one of the gnomes with the costume (Gnomeo outfit for boys and Juliet’s for girls) or plant cute little garden gnomes anywhere on the ground with your space bar.

In other news, the PHF (one of our affiliated networks, the Poptropica Help Forum) has been replaced with DigiTalk, a new forum with a broader range of topics to discuss – which includes but is not limited to just Poptropica! It’s still targeted towards Poptropica’s age group, so you’ll probably love it. Click here to sign up or here to learn a little more from PHB guest poster iPrepKid.

Get your mustache on, y’all!

Slanted Fish

Poptropica has released the official info page for “Wild West Island,” which you can see here on Poptropica or here on the PHB. The island description says:

A shadow is creeping across the frontier, and its name is El Mustachio Grande. He’s the meanest, nastiest, outlaw in the land, and he’s terrorizing the good folks of Wild West Island. With your trusty horse by your side, only you stand between the Mustachio gang and total anarchy. Can you bring Mustachio to justice, once and for all?

What do you say, horse rider? Are you ready to take on the big mustache man?

Also, there’s an advertisement building for “Open Season 3”! Giant Rock of ThePoptropicaVideos has provided the following video walkthrough:

In other news, for those of you who still have yet to finish Cryptids Island, you might find our guide helpful. Or you can sing along to the new Flamin’ Skulls song “Cryptid Animal” written by fan Scootdaloop188, to the tune of Neon Trees’ Animal!
