Category: Mocktropica Island

In all the recent excitement on the PHB involving locating some hidden Poptropica files, the Mega Fighting Bots site not being playable (it’s back up now!), and the mysterious “Gamer Guy” (who turned out to just be a regular commenter having a bit of fun, not a Creator), you may or may not remember that Mocktropica is due to be released tomorrow for members!

There’s a couple of recent Daily Pop sneak peeks that look like they’ll belong on the new Poptropica-parody island. The rest look like they might be part of a separate “sky island” – more on that in this post. Anyway, check ’em out (click to enlarge):

There’s even a spot for the Mocktropica trailer video on Main Street of Poptropolis Games! (thanks, ayman351) Look how happy my character is to see that cow go all haywire.

Check back tomorrow for more Mocktropica goodness! We’ll have a written walkthrough up as soon as possible, but in the meantime, you’re welcome to exchange tips in the comments and contribute to our guide.

Also, the PoptropicaCreators channel on YouTube recently uploaded a new Poptropica Tour video. Note especially at around the 1:10 mark, where they show the process of saving your game – by typing in monstercarniv in the username box! It’s been a while since they’ve hinted at Monster Carnival…

Oh, and one more thing: in case you missed the memo, the PHB is having a Christmas party this Saturday and we’d love to have you come! Tough Icicle (Samwow5) will be hosting, so check out his post for more details. The more the merrier!

Hey Poptropicans, guess who? Yeah, it’s me, Angry Wing. I know you all want to get up and give me a standing ovation, but please, fight the urge and hold it in for now. Aw, I’m just kidding with you. I’m not here for applause, I’m here to tell you stuff. Stuff other than talking about applause. ANYWAY!

All the talk is about Gamer Guy, Gamer Guy’s firing, Mocktropica, glitches, and Mega Fighting Bots. A little background: Gamer Guy was first introduced a long time ago, when his character began appearing in some Daily Pop Sneak Peeks. Remember, everyone wanted to know when Poptropicans would be getting iPhones? Gamer Guy then was a character on Zomberry Island. Most likely, you played video games in his house. Then, last Tuesday, Captain Crawfish handed over the helm of the Creator’s blog to him. (Get the pun there?)

Finally, what’s gotten him fired is his promotion of a rival website. This is where we arrive at Mega Fighting Bots. Still with me so far?

The Mega Fighting Bots website is empty except for this:

Definitely not much to get from this, although the game was previously playable…

I have come to one conclusion. It’s all just another promotion for Poptropica’s newest island. A fun one, more elaborate than we have seen in the past. Kudos to the Creators for reeling us in on this adventure.

One more thing: this shouldn’t really have come as too much of a surprise, as this Sneak Peek was posted weeks ago.

Just sayin’.

That’s it, Poptropicans! This has been a story recap/update from your favorite friendly neighborhood Angry Wing. 😉
