Zomberry Island Trailer and Goldfish Fun Ad

The trailer video for Zomberry Island is up! Now that zombies have taken over Eastman, an eerie atmosphere hangs in the city air as one by one, victims are lost to the Zomberry plague…

It should be coming out very soon! When it does, the PHB will definitely be prepared to keep everyone alive with cheats for Zomberry Island.

In the meantime, there’s a new Goldfish Fun ad on Main Streets. (Thanks Mad Tornado and Strange Beetle!) You can find it on islands such as the recent Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but it appears that older players don’t have access to the new building. Inside, you’ll find two games!

Goldfish Fun 2 Games

The first is Jetpack Dash, which is an off-site game that takes you to Goldfishfun.com so you can compete there. The other is Space Race, and all you have to do is get to the finish line first! Move your character (the bigger one) up and down with your cursor to avoid obstacles and get speed boosts (the portals) to go faster. When you win, you’ll be awarded a Space Racer Suit (pictured above) and Flying Fish Power, which sends the goldfish flying across your screen for a few seconds.

Also, the Balloons gold card item from the Store has been updated with a balloon for the Poptropolis Games. Thanks Ayman351! With all this flying around, you might just escape being turned into one of the zombies in the quickly-rising army of drones who proved that you really are what you eat…

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Third Wheel (Ad)

There’s a new Diary of a Wimpy Kid ad game for the 7th book in the series, titled The Third Wheel and written by Poptropica Creator Jeff Kinney. (Also, if you want more wimpy-themed prizes, enter the promo code wimpy2012. Click here for more info.)

The book comes out on November 13th! Thanks to Samwow5 for the picture above and walkthrough help.

To play the game, go inside and talk to Greg. You’ll need to help Greg dance so that he can pass Phys-Ed class. Watch his moves, then copy them with the keyboard or mouse when it’s your turn.

Once you win, you’ll get the Greg Dance Outfit (boys)/Wimpy Girl Dance Outfit (girls) and Silly Dance Power. Happy dancing… and don’t trip! 😛

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

There’s a new ad in town! You may need a younger account and one of the Main Streets you can find this on is Super Villain Island’s. Thanks to Samwow5 and Tough Spider for their help in the guide.

When you get to the advertisement, go in and you’ll find a boy sucking a lollipop. He asks you whether or not you know the number of licks needed to finish a Tootsie Pop, and you reply that you don’t know. Then you’ll need to go upstairs and ask Mr. Owl.

The instructions say: Keep the Tootsie Rolls from hitting Mr. Owl, so he won’t get distracted from licking the Tootsie Pop. Tip: Stay on him and jump around next to him, or just stand in front of him. If you do it correctly, he stops at around 60 because he accidentally bit it off. He gives you the prizes, a Tootsie Pop Costume and the Mr. Owl Follower.

 Now you try: get a Tootsie Pop and count how many licks it takes! Don’t bite it off! 😛

Advertisements, Comics, Super Villain Island

Super Villain voted super popular island of 2012, Circus Afros are the new trend, and then some more!

A new poll on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog asks, “What is your favorite new Island of 2012?” A vast majority of the votes – over half (53%) – went to the all-new Super Villain Island! (Be sure to check out our guide if you need any help.) The rest were Lunar Colony (9%), Wimpy Boardwalk (8%), Poptropolis Games (8%), Twisted Thicket (6%), Vampire’s Curse (9%), and SOS Island (4%). Percentages are at the time of this post, but there’s still time left to cast your vote. 😀

Some other recent news & PCB posts:

  • Mad Scientist, Mad Tornado discovered this item card SWF of an amulet that never quite made it into Vampire’s Curse Island. Click here to see it.
  • More villains than you can shake your stick at – What other Poptropica evildoers have you found at Erewhon Prison?
  • Standup comics – Because reading the daily paper is too old-school.

There’s a new ad for Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, for the DVD coming out on Tuesday, October 16. You can find it on Lunar Colony and some other islands. Thanks to Samwow5 for the guide and prize pics:

To complete the walkthrough go all the right and talk to Alex, the lion. He says he wants a circus act that blows everyone way. Then ask the second question and go into the cannon. The goal: you have to move with the mouse (up and down) through as many rings as possible but don’t miss to many or you will have to start over.

When you win you get the Marty Costume and the Circus Cannon Power. Da da da da da da circus, da da da da da da da da afro… 🙂

And thanks to Cyclone for the pic below. Gotta love that circus afro! 😀

Separated at birth!

Littlest Pet Shop Fairies & Hot Wheels Ballistiks meet Poptropica!

There are two new ads around Poptropica Main Streets – the Littlest Pet Shop Fairies for girls, and the Hot Wheels Ballistiks for boys. Here’s a quick guide to both!

Littlest Pet Shop Fairies (girls only)

Find all four fairies before the sun goes down! Click on each fairy to have them follow you out of the forest!

You’ll be in an enchanted forest area and your job is to track down the four fairies. Two are located on the left side, and two on the right. Bounce on the mushrooms on the tree in the middle to help you reach them. When you see a sparkly creature, click on it, until you’ve gotten all 4. The prizes are a Littlest Pet Shop Fairy Costume and Fairy Dust power – which makes you as sparkly as the fairies.

Hot Wheels Ballistiks (boys only)

Use your mouse to aim the Ballistiks cannon. Click and hold to power the cannon and let go to fire! Hit the target in the center three times to win!

Launch a car knock down a pyramid of barrels, but be careful not to hit any obstacles. You have 5 tries to knock down the barrels 3 times. (TIP: Aim high but not too high or you’ll have to start over, and use full power!) The prizes are Hot Wheels Ballistiks Bobble Head (four designs to choose from; wearable) and Drop Power – drops a shark-like vehicle on your screen which then speeds off. Thanks to Fuzzy-B for the info and picture below:

Drop it like it’s Hot Wheels! 😛
