This is a guest post from Young Rider sharing her My Place in Poptropica story, which is all about one’s Poptropica journey. Enjoy!
Hi, my Poptropica name is Young Rider, and here is My Place In Poptropica.
2019 | Cool Math & Confusion
So I started with Cool Math Games like many people, and that’s where I found Poptropica. I looked at the description and I thought it sounded really cool. Next, I created an account. I was confused in the beginning, but then I found out it was fun. I played Poptropica for about a year and then forgot about it.
2020 | Revisiting
I was looking at my history a little while later and I saw Poptropica. I searched it up and started to play it again. But it started to get glitchy, so I stopped playing it.
2022 | Flight of Flash
I heard about Flash not being a thing anymore, and I remembered some games that were on Flash. I remembered Poptropica yet again and made a new account so I could play it again. I saw how much had changed, and was disappointed. But I quickly moved on.
I got confused on Mythology Island, so I searched up a walkthrough. That’s how I found the PHB! I saw how many walkthroughs they had and it has become my favorite site ever since. I have used countless walkthroughs on this blog. Then I saw Dizzy Feather’s “My Place in Poptropica” post so I thought I would try to make my own. Here we are!

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Dizzy Feather. Enjoy!
It’s Dizzy Feather here, with part three of my fanfiction, The Pink Knight. (Read parts one and two here!) Also, the next and last Poptropican to be featured in the story is Pink Crush. (Don’t worry if you didn’t get picked; there may be more chances in the future.) That said, let’s go!
Dizzy Feather (me!)Pink Knight (alter ego)
We see DIZZY FEATHER walking inside of the Con. Suddenly a group of people run past her and security pushes them back. DIZZY FEATHER pushes through the crowd to see what all the fuss is about. In front of the crowd is a small table with clothes hanging. On the right there is a green folding chair seating famous fashion designer PINK CRUSH.
SECURITY GUARD: OK, one at a time.
The GUARDS make sure people to stay in line. DIZZY FEATHER walks away from the line.
A few hours later, PINK CRUSH walks out of the Con exhausted, and crashes into — DIZZY FEATHER, literally. DIZZY FEATHER gets back on her feet first and walks over to help PINK CRUSH up.
Pink Crush
DIZZY FEATHER: I’m so sorry! Are you OK?
PINK CRUSH takes DIZZY FEATHER’s hand and gets back up.
PINK CRUSH: Apology not necessary, and yes, I’m OK.
DIZZY FEATHER: You’re Pink Crush, right?
PINK CRUSH: Yes I am.
DIZZY FEATHER: I don’t want to bother you too much — I’m sure you’re always being bothered by fans. But I love your work, especially your smart cape and the safety jumpsuit you came out with a couple years ago.
PINK CRUSH: Wow! I can’t believe you remember those. They were not popular or fancy, but they’re some of my favorites.
DIZZY FEATHER: It always confused me how they got bad reviews! The cape literally popped off when it was pulled on or got caught on fire, and the jumpsuit was so thin but bulletproof and fireproof. They were amazing.
PINK CRUSH: The bad reviews were because nobody thought they’d be useful for normal Poptropicans. Call me crazy, I actually knew the reviews would be bad, but I designed them for superheroes.
DIZZY FEATHER: I don’t think you’re crazy! There are real superheroes out there.
PINK CRUSH: Thanks. I wonder if the superheroes have cape problems, like if their capes get stuck on things and stuff — you never see that in movies.
DIZZY FEATHER: Is that why you made the smart cape, to somehow help the superheroes out there?
PINK CRUSH: That and I have always wanted to design something for a superhero! The jumpsuit and cape are probably the closest I’ll ever get to doing that.
DIZZY FEATHER: You never know, it could happen one day. Sorry I took up so much of your time, have a great rest of your day!
PINK CRUSH: You too.
Cut to DIZZY FEATHER in the atrium. Suddenly a figure leaps out of the shadows and pulls the straps on Dizzy Feather’s backpack. Her outfit is replaced with the PINK KNIGHT’s uniform.
Purple Galaxy
PURPLE GALAXY: Hello, Pink Knight. I haven’t seen you in two years. Whatcha doing here?
PINK KNIGHT: I could say the same to you! Amelia sent me to protect the Con this year.
PURPLE GALAXY: Well, I would have liked to have more than one person stopping an invasion, but I don’t have a choice. Omegon is attacking Home Island with an army of robots! The Knight Squadron is taking care of that though. Meanwhile, the Lightning Hero is defending the kingdom of Arturus from Binary Bard, and I was going to hop in the spaceship and shut down E. Vile’s invasion, but I’m going to help the Lightning Hero since you’re here already.
PINK KNIGHT: I thought that was E. Vile’s spaceship. Also, how were you planning on stopping E. Vile’s invasion from inside the spaceship?
PURPLE GALAXY: Just get inside the spaceship and unplug the main computer. It’s easy, there’s no way it could go wrong.
PURPLE GALAXY disappears. The PINK KNIGHT pulls the string out of her pocket and her uniform turns back into DIZZY FEATHER’s.
History Lesson: Golden age, silver age, outrage… we’ve got it all.

I love this island, but it’s not super popular among the majority of the fandom. I think everyone enjoyed riding Elmer, playing Slap Jack, and herding cattle, but like most of the islands on this list, this adventure was overshadowed by the longer, more challenging islands.
When Old Poptropica was brought back for a short while in 2020, SOS Island was the first classic I played, and I loved it. I liked how although you didn’t interact with NPCs all that much, there were a lot of little mini-games, each revealing a little part of what really happened after you complete them. I loved the twist ending as well.
This one took me forever to complete. I loved flying around Africa, exploring different regions and collecting jewels. (Spoiler alert: Not gonna lie, though, the part when the totem pole comes to life, talks, and flies away did freak me out.) I had to look up how to play Mancala before I could even do the Mountains of the Moon part because I had no idea what this game was, and I didn’t really understand what I was supposed to do when I was taking pictures for Big Zeke, but this was still one of my favorite islands.
I feel like the islands based on comics, books, and other franchises unrelated to Poptropica don’t get as much attention as the more original islands do, but Big Nate Island really nailed it as far as gameplay, storytelling, and humor goes. I really miss playing this one.
Okay, you gotta love Charlie Brown and this island. Even though I didn’t know what to do when the Red Baron ship was chasing me in Snoopy’s mini-game, and I had a really hard time with the part where you roll the pumpkin over to the Van Pelt house, I loved the simple yet challenging gameplay, the hilarious cutscenes, and the lovable characters. This was an overall fantastic island that feels like it should be more popular.
So there you have it! These are five islands I believe to be underrated and don’t have all the attention they deserve. Hope you enjoyed it!
On another note, does anyone here know about Blooket? It’s a site where you can take random quizzes and play games, and I recently created a quiz about Old Poptropica!
It’s got a range of trivia questions about the game from basic to advanced, and I’m always adding new questions! You’ll need a free account to play. Once you log in, look for my “Ultimate Poptropica Quiz” by searching for it under the “Discover” tab.
Please try it out and let me know what you think of it! You can share your suggestions for new questions in the comments. Thanks for reading!
