Ask Poptropica Siri #10: Non-villains, non-costume items, and not dead

Ask Poptropica Siri is a Q&A segment here on the PHB where you, dear readers, are invited to send in your Poptropica questions to have them answered with all the wisdom you can expect from a Smart Icicle.

Hello fellow Poptropicans, welcome back to Ask Poptropica Siri! Hope you are all having a great summer. Let’s answer some questions:

In your opinion, who are the best non-villain character(s) in Poptropica? ~Silver Tiger

For me, the best non-villain characters are Harold Mews, Basho, Amelia, and the Baron (I know, I know, the Baron was technically a villain in Monkey Wrench, but she is good or neutral now, since she sells stuff on her airship). I like these characters because each of them remind me of what I am like in real life, or my favorite interests.

The Baron is my favorite because she reminds me of my interest in pirates. Harold Mews from Cryptids Island is my second fave right from the beginning because I like his interest in catching mythical creatures like the Giant Squid, Bigfoot, etc. Basho from Red Dragon Island is my third fave since I enjoy Asian culture. And I started to like Amelia after I completed her mini-quest. (Her facial expressions when the player finds the cargo were cute — it reminded me a bit of anime.)

What is your favorite store item(s) that isn’t a costume? ~GreedyShadow

I would have to go with all the clubhouse decor. I like it when there are themes — like summer, Rumpelstiltskin, and Dr. Hare (way back when Poptropica Worlds was still a thing). Some of my favorite clubhouse decor are the wallpapers, various mythical creatures (especially the phoenix, mermaid, and unicorn), and some of the picture frames (the Dr. Hare one is cute).

You’ve been giving me some hard but good questions, and the next one is no exception! This one is more about my fandom activity than the game itself, but since I get asked so much, I want to share my response with you readers today.

Is Smart Icicle’s Blog still running? Are you still looking for more writers? ~everyone on my blog and friends from the Pop community

I would like to say yes, my blog is still alive and kicking! If you’re interested in writing for my blog, where I share about Poptropica and other media I enjoy, contact me on my blog, with the methods below, or DM me on Discord (I’m on the PHC). Also, thanks to Dizzy Feather for her support! In addition to my blog, you can check out hers, which is all about Poptropica and which I’ve been following every day.

That’s all the questions I have for now. Hope you all have a great rest of the summer. See you all soon!

Ask Poptropica Siri #9: Mini-quests, Minecraft lite, & Monster Carnival

Ask Poptropica Siri is a Q&A segment here on the PHB where you, dear readers, are invited to send in your Poptropica questions to have them answered with all the wisdom you can expect from a Smart Icicle.

Can you believe it’s already been over a year since Ask Poptropica Siri started? Let’s keep it going by answering some more questions!

How do you feel about the mini-quests? ~Silver Horse

I enjoy them! I appreciate how Poptropica still keeps making content for people to play, even if in short bursts, so we don’t lose interest. Mini-quests feel fitting for when an island leaves the player on a cliffhanger on what will happen next, like in Rumpel’s Challenge when we could see what happened to the king in Fairytale Island. I also liked getting a fun little epilogue to the Goofball Island story with Blitz on the Fritz.

What is Poptropica Realms and how can you access it? ~Silver Tiger

Realms is where you get to build your own world, share it with others, and all that fun stuff. It’s similar to the game Minecraft, except you won’t die of hunger and there isn’t much of a survival element. You can find out more in the PHB’s Poptropica Realms Guide. It’s currently only available in the Steam bundle, not in the regular game.

Thoughts on Monster Carnival’s rewritten ending? ~Slanted Fish

Ok, so first I am happy that they brought back Monster Carnival (to Steam at least). I liked Bird Boy! I was a little sad when I found out they changed the story. But I’m also a little bit happy that you get to be friends with Ringmaster Raven, so I guess I mainly just feel neutral about the ending. It reminds of my own friendship with my drawing buddy, Bronze Socks, who would probably do the same thing of trying to help and befriend Raven.

I know some fans are still concerned about the ending despite its update, and that’s okay. This is just my opinion!

To all US readers, have a good 4th of July! 🎇 See you soon, Poptropicans!

Ask Poptropica Siri #8: Roblox, Rumblings, and Releases

Ask Poptropica Siri is a Q&A segment here on the PHB where you, dear readers, are invited to send in your Poptropica questions to have them answered with all the wisdom you can expect from a Smart Icicle.

Hey everyone! It’s been a hard time lately for the fandom, particularly with Poptropica’s controversial Roblox developments. So, I wanted to cool it down by answering some questions…

What do you think of the Poptropica Roblox games? ~Magic Snowball

This may be an unpopular opinion, but I am totally fine with Poptropica’s Roblox games. I feel neutral about this situation, even as a Roblox player myself. I think they are just having a break and trying new things. Although others are angry about it, at least Poptropica is still actively developing on their own platform, so that’s a good sign.

Do you think the Creators even care enough to bring the old islands back? ~Silver Shell

This question came in before the big announcement of 13 old islands returning via Steam, but yes, I do think they care! They brought Zomberry to Roblox, and previously released the Zomberry Hero mini-game on Pop, which means they haven’t forgotten their old lore. Even if they play around with Roblox, they will never give up on Poptropica.

If there was one old island which could release early and you were given the choice, which one would you pick? ~Dangerous Dragon

Oh wow, so many choices! Well, I’m going to cheat a little and pick two: I would want either Skullduggery or Astro-Knights to be brought back. They were fun to play, even if they are the most difficult out of all of the islands ever made. Although we’ve lost a lot of old islands, they are still in our hearts and hopefully can return someday. 💙

Before I go, I would like to share two movies I’m looking forward to this April: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Fantastic Beasts 3.

That’s it from me! See you next time!

Ask Poptropica Siri #7: waiting for Jade, Flash’s fade, and islands to be remade

Ask Poptropica Siri is a Q&A segment here on the PHB where you, dear readers, are invited to send in your Poptropica questions to have them answered with all the wisdom you can expect from a Smart Icicle.

Hey everyone, it’s Smart Icicle! You know how the game works now. Let’s answer some questions!

What do you think of the upcoming Secret of the Jade Scarab Island? ~ Dangerous Dragon & when the imposter is sus

I am pretty excited for when it comes out. So far the sneak peeks remind me of Arabian Nights and catching the genie. Another desert theme seems pretty cool to me. This one seems fun from what we’ve seen so far, and I can’t wait for it to release! I’ve loved seeing all the ideas everyone came up with for the Dream Island contest.

Would you rather play the old islands on Flashpoint now, or in a few years if they become officially accessible through Poptropica desktop and mobile? ~Silver Ghost

I like these types of questions. It’s fun playing the old islands on Flashpoint, but I am going to have to go with playing the old islands from Poptropica itself if they all become available again because I have been playing on their platforms for years. It’s been a while since Flash has been gone, and I still praise it. Still miss you, Flash! ❤️

What do you like to do on Poptropica when you aren’t playing islands? ~Silver Shell

I either do side quests, check out the store for any cool stuff, or relax in my clubhouse. But honestly, I mainly play Poptropica for the islands — they’re just so fun, am I right?

Ask Poptropica Siri #6: Baron above, fandom loves, and costume earmuffs

Ask Poptropica Siri is a Q&A segment here on the PHB where you, dear readers, are invited to send in your Poptropica questions to have them answered with all the wisdom you can expect from a Smart Icicle.

Hey everyone, it’s Smart Icicle! Hope you all are enjoying the new year. Let’s ring it in by answering some questions.

When will the Baron return? ~anonymous

The Baron swings by Home Island at the beginning of every month for only a short period of time, and you’ll have to stay tuned for news of her latest visits. For her next visit, according to the Creators’ Blog, the airship will be back in early February. You won’t want to miss it — you’ll get to pick up a free player-designed costume, play games for credits, and check out the epic Baron’s Crusade side quest!

What do you love most about the Poptropica fandom? ~Friendly Shell

First for Poptropica itself, I love the islands: they’re exciting, especially with new islands in the works. I think it’s great to have both new side quests and some of the old islands back.

As for the fandom, I love the PHB because of the kindness and support from fans of Poptropica. Check out the My Place in Poptropica series for tons of these stories. Without the PHB, I might not have even sustained my interest in Poptropica.

What costume do you like from the monthly costume contests? ~anonymous

I liked lots from the submission reels that may not have been chosen as winners. I especially liked the Hanfu by Calm Dolphin and some Minecraft-based costumes by Grey Shadow, which were not made into the game, as well as the Ice Cream Cat by Silver Flame, which was. I like them because they are cute, unique, and give off video game vibes (I am a huge video game person). I could go on and on!
