Mocktropica Island, Monster Carnival Island

It’s time to ride the monstrous roller coaster rid- Okay, so I’m not good at song parodies. Why are you reading this anyway? ON WITH THE POST!

Um, “what’s popping, Poptropicans…?” Blake’s out running errands, so he asked me, Timmy, to cover 2 new pieces of Poptropica news. So let’s move on with the post!

So anyway, first off, the Mocktropica guide is now up for the Poptropica walkthrough iOS app thing (I don’t know what it’s called, Blake never lets me use his iPhone… Hmm, he left it behind. Let me try something I’ve been wondering about..)

*TWO HOURS LATER*

Timmy: *playing Flappy Bird* this is so fascinating and addictive I don’t think I’ll eat or sleep in a week. Oh, right. So yeah, according to this app, the Mocktropica walkthrough is now up! Let’s hope there aren’t any bugs in the walkthrough… but if you can’t be bothered to open the app, just use the PHB’s Mocktropica Island Guide!

And in other news, if you check out Jeff Heim’s Poptropica Soundcloud, you may have heard… *puts on reading glasses* …what sounds like it’ll be a track for Monster Carnival. Thanks for that, Jeff Heim. Your tracks are always wonderful. *gives thumbs-up, tries to gain publicity like HP did because I’m a fame-hungry type of guy* You can listen to this wonderful track at his Soundcloud.

So it seems like that’s it for now in Poptropica. As always, stay popping, Poptropicans.

“TIMMY, I’M BACK! Wait, why are you doing the post for this week? I specifically told you NOT TO!”

SORRY!

Labs (Land), Membership, Monster Carnival Island, Store

Ringmaster Costume & Poptropica Labs fan video!

ringmasterHey everyone! I went on Poptropica and I saw, in the Store, that the Ringmaster Costume for Monster Carnival Island is already out! It hasn’t even been posted on the Creators’ Blog yet! The costume has three colors: Red, White, and Purple. (I like the red one the most. xD)

This costume is for members only and it is one of three items coming out for Monster Carnival Island. Also, it’s for a limited time only; it’s available until the end of early access for the island and then it’ll be gone! So go get it today!

The Creators recently posted about a fan called Perfect Sky making a video about Poptropica Labs, and whoever she is, she’s very lucky, seeing as it’s the first time the Creators have posted a fan video on their blog! I like some of her builds, they are really detailed! Check it out:

That’s it everyone, I just wanted to inform you about these two things, and look forward to a special post tomorrow from me!

Daily Pop, Monster Carnival Island

Carnival Crazy and more Daily Poppin’

Slanted Fish

With Monster Carnival Island set to be released sometime this month (can you believe it?!), the Creators wanted to remind us that the MCI wallpaper & poster are available on the Tour page – but of course you already knew that, right? What we really want are more sneak peeks…

These are from the Daily Pop, and they look like they might belong in the carnival. But there are also some sneak peeks with not-so-certain origins… such as this snowy landscape* that looks like it’s part of the winter wonderland mentioned in Fuzzy-B’s post. One of the winter pics in his post contains a bird – perhaps related to these bird character sketches (pictured below)? And what of this wilderness survival book* – will we be going on another forest adventure anytime soon?

*a couple of these Daily Pops haven’t been released yet, but they will be – if you’re interested in how to discover Daily Pops a day or so early, check out our Behind the Scenes page! 🙂

Finally, here’s another reminder that we are looking to publish your Poptropica stories, island ideas, fan art, and more for the next issue of The Poptropican’s 911, coming out in March! Please email your entries to poptropican911(at)gmail.com (replace at with @), and refer to our Magazines page for more details. For inspiration, check out our most recent Pop magazine issue!

Monster Carnival Island

The Monster Mystery Revealed

Brave Tomato

“Why was Monster Carnival taken off the map five years ago?”

This was still the question that boggled our minds… we tried to come up with a possible explanation, but some of them were kinda just silly assumptions. Now, in Captain Crawfish’s new post, he explains everything from the Creators’ point of view:

Longtime Poptropicans know that Monster Carnival was supposed to be one of our earliest Islands. It was announced in 2008, and even added to the travel map with a message that said “Coming Soon.” Then it disappeared without notice.

Why?

There have been a lot of explanations over the years. Some were closer to the mark than others. Frankly, we’d like to let the conspiracy theories go on, because they’re more interesting than the truth. But it’s time we came clean.

Monster Carnival was removed from the Poptropica travel map because it wasn’t finished, and everybody was too busy with other projects to give it the attention it needed. That’s all! We really just announced it too early, got onto other things, and never came back to it.

But as Monster Carnival continued to live on in the imaginations of our players, we couldn’t let it go. What a great name! Every year, when we discussed what new Islands to make, somebody would say “Monster Carnival!” and everyone else would nod. Then we’d pick a bunch of other Islands to do instead.

Maybe we were intimidated. We all know what happens when something becomes anticipated for too long. Better to leave it as an unrealized dream, rather than risk not delivering.

Well, every dog has his day, and the same is true of a great idea for a Poptropica Island. Monster Carnival is very real this time, and we hope it is worth the wait.

…wow…

After reading this, I couldn’t agree more, CC. I know how it feels to promise something good… but then life and other ideas happen and we let the idea collect dust. As a writer, I get that. A lot…. even before I joined the community, I hardly ever finished any story I wrote. And then my mind reminds me of it and I go, “Oh yeah.. I remember that…” That’s a problem for me even now…

Creators, if you feel that we pushed you too hard, I feel the need to say that I’m sorry. I hope that you guys are doing it because you guys want to do the island and not just because we requested it ten million times. Yes, we were curious, and we did enjoy the hints and jokes you gave us all these years gone by. Yet like I said before, I hope that you’re not just doing the island to shut us up. For that reason, I have high hopes for the Monster Carnival… hopefully it’s an island that you guys did put your heart into and not just one to pander to us.

…good luck you guys, and thank you.

Weight Lifter Avatar Monster Carnival IslandWelcome, my dear Poptropicans! I am Brave Tomato, your postmaster for…. this post… and welcome to the newly released Monster Carnival Island Tour! (and the PHB’s complementary MCI trivia page!)

Now, it’ll be a grand show tonight, shant we agree? Good, because, as your postmaster at the moment, it is my duty to point out the highlights of this show of the page!

Ah, enough talk! Ladies and gentlemen, Poptropicans of all ages, welcome! To the Monster Carnival! Info! Page!

Now of course in center ring is the main story for this highly-anticipated island – but it’s not all fun and games…

In the dead of night, a caravan rumbles into town. The traveling carnival has returned! But this is no day at the park. Behind the lights and the laughter, the carnival harbors a dark secret. Buy a ticket if you dare, but beware — once you enter, you may never be able to escape the Monster Carnival!

A fascinatingly ghastly tale, is it not? There’s a reason why it’s center ring, my dear Poptropicans! And there are scenery images galore! What a performance the center ring is giving us!

Now we divert our attention to the left ring, where our Printable Poster and Desktop Wallpaper reside: a circus poster for the Raven Ringmaster as the printable, and the Desktop Wallpaper featuring one of the many diverse titular monsters, along with the revelation that every decoration goes a bit more twisted at nighttime compared to the day…

Now, we shall divert our attention again to the the right ring, where the members only items reside! Among these is the Bonus Quest:
