I’M GOIN’ FROOTO FOR..ER..FRUIT LOOPS?

The title wasn’t well thought-out. That, I admit. As for where your tater-tots went, I’ve no idea. I promise you that I did not take them while you were checking your texts. That’s lunacy.

There’s a new ad in Poptropica! (Update thanks to kert61 on the PHF) In this ad, your Poptropican will enter a Fruit Loops pyramid, inside which you will be tasked with the extremely important job of finding all of the missing Cereal Pieces. Unfortunately, I never was able to complete the ad because every time I ate them. ( What, they’re tasty! >:C )

This ad has an Egyptian theme (hence the pyramid I mentioned…) and, of course, there will be mummies preventing you from getting to the Cereal. Cuz’ everyone knows, mummies LOVE cereal. Can’t get enough of the stuff. Nom. Nom-Nom. After you finish the ad: finding all 6 Cereal Peices (and not eating them :C) you’ll get a Mummy Run Power, which allows you to move quickly (sort of like super-speed), and a Pharaoh Costume. Tut-Tut.

Walk-though video thanks to (once again..!) Kert61. (Geez, that guy is taking credit for everything of late! Something has to be done! Heh, I kid..but not really…)

Credit Song Time!

It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the cream of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds ’til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive…

Bonus Items, Cryptids Island, Sneak Peeks

Replay Castle!

If you visit your inventory, you may notice that your island medallions have more than just the “Put On” button – a new “Replay Island” button was added to every medallion card! When you click on it, it will ask you to confirm whether you really do want to lose all your items and progress for the island.

Unfortunately, nothing happened when I clicked “Yes.” Maybe they’re working on it, but this could be a cool feature we can be looking forward to! (thanks, Blueshield)

Update: The Replay button is gone! 😮

Also, here’s a sneak peek of the next Poptropica island:

Not exactly the mightiest castle out there. What’s up with the bucket attached to a flagpole by roof? Construction of this fortress in the fog looks only half-finished. What do you think might be involved in this one?

According to reader Maximum Ride, the flag is Scotland’s. Could this have anything to do with the “French” island sneak peeks from before? Maybe we’re not just getting a France-like island, maybe it’s Europe-themed! Who knows. 😛

Bonus Items, Great Pumpkin Island

Create a Pumpkin Jack!

(Get into the Halloween spirit with this cool Jack o’ Lantern Creator!! *cheers*)


Happy Halloween, Pumpkin Jack! xD

The Poptropica Creators this year have re-introduced the interactive Jack-o’-Lantern Creator that Family Education Network made last year. You can use this to design your own jack-o’-lantern by simply selecting and dragging various pumpkin parts onto the pumpkin. Here’s what it could look like:

With hundreds of different combinations available for size, eyes, nose, and mouth, here’s your chance to show your creative side for Halloween! Click here to use the Jack-O’-Lantern Creator on FamilyEducation.com. Once you’re happy with your creation, you can print out your original pumpkin portrait and color it in, or use it as a reference to carve your own with a real pumpkin.

That’s right – DON’T STOP PARTYING! O:

Proud to be awesome. That's Poptropica.

Why? WHY? You must know why! The nice guys at Poptropica have decided that they aren’t going to leave any player out of the b-day celebrations. If you’re having absolutely no luck at all in finding that sneaky rare 3-balloon, it’s okay.

You can still get something (ooh! a present? for me? *squeal*) – orange balloons with a blue “3” on them are being given away for FREE at the Poptropica Store! It’s free, fun, and keeps you happy! 😀

So come on and

LET’S KEEP THIS PARTY GOING!

And while you’re at it, don’t forget to sing a song to your favorite computer game!

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Poptropica
Happy birthday to you
