The ninja’s guide to saving Japan

Even stealthy ninjas need a little help sometimes. And that’s what the Poptropica Help Blog is here for. Thanks to Super Thunder and Icy Comet, a guide is now available for the new Red Dragon Island! Just click here for the walkthrough (it even has pictures!), or here for the island page. Update: Red Dragon Island will be released to all on June 2nd, 2011!

If you prefer to be taught visually, our video playlist with the trailer video and four-part guide by YouTuber Graser10 is now available on our YouTube channel. We are working on creating a labeled map for this Magic Tree House-based island, but in the meantime, the Poptropica Creators have released the trailer video that’s sure to get you excited to help out Jack and Annie!

Can you save your friends from a legendary power? This is the test!

If this isn’t proof, nothing is.

The Creators are not only reading this blog, they’re TRYING to TELL us that they read it! I mean just look at this!!!

Celebrating a tasty Island

 After the launch of Red Dragon Island, which takes place mostly in old Japan, some of the Poptropica creators decided to celebrate with a Japanese lunch — sushi!

Mmm-mmm! So delicious, you’d never guess that it was made out of raw fish.No, not “Crawfish.” Raw fish. Nobody noms Captain Crawfish!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

The bold bit just SHOWS and gives us 100% confirmation! Most people will remember the TEN THOUSAND BILLION posts we wrote where we ending up nomming the captain crawfish. Whether it was after he wrote a speech about his favourite island or when McDonalds started serving crawfish specials, Captain Crawfish 1 to 3478913765823915.62 we ate them all. And now that we’ve stopped CC is getting his licks (lol like nomming) in.
CC: I’m glad I taste stale. 😀
Oh man, anyway, GTG, bed is calling.
BTW, anypeeps notice the poptropica items in the pic? the 2 books? the Dr hare Plush toy?
(Secretly eats CC backstage)
Ahh, just like the good old days. 😉
Red Dragon Island

For members. Well, we can’t have it all.

Yes, Red Dragon is now out. Thanks to the Creators (vote Binary Bard as best Poptropica villian!) and magic tree house.

Magic?!

Hi, my name is Bob, and I approve this meassage.

I got the magic in me, every time I touch that track it turns into gold..

(finished song)

Ah, I love that song. And for those who don’t have membership, just find a magic tree house, a pic of Red Dragon, and say the magic words…

Alakazam!

Abracadabra!

Zingzammado!

Sim Sala Dim!

Bibbity Bobbity Wobbity Wak!

I wish we could go there…

WHOOSH


Daily Pop, Skullduggery Island, Sneak Peeks, Store

Trees, Japanese, ships on seas and a winter freeze.

Hey guys! GB here. So sorry I haven’t posted in like, a MONTH. I was busy with… errands and stuff. 😛

Anyway, off the off-topicness, and on with the on topicness!

I report PCB posts!

Go climb a tree

 What do you suppose is happening here?

I’ve never seen a Poptropican do that before…avatar image
CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

OMBR (Oh my blinking radish) that’s so cool! It looks like a tall tree too, and what do we grip on to?! What are we, part monkeys?! (BTW, I know a few siblings of mine who already are part monkey, in the noise factor, they’re howler monkeys)

Memoirs of a Poptropica costume

 Looking through the store, it seems there are even more Japanese-inspired costumes that can get you geared up for the upcoming launch of Red Dragon Island. This Geisha costume for girls comes with a special item.


The Shamisen is a traditional three-stringed instrument found in Japan, which is a speciality of the Geisha. Put on this costume and press the spacebar to strum your Shamisen. Then sing yourself a happy tune as you await Red Dragon Island.

Yeahhh…. we kinda knew that already…

From the vault

Time goes by so quickly on Poptropica. Hard to believe that it’s been a year since we started working on Skullduggery Island. Here’s an early sketch of the Phoenix Warbird, dated from April 2010.

Somehow, that ended up being the ship that sank… me! Incredible.avatar image

OMBAWRWO! (Oh my blinking and winking radish with onions… lol, I love being random) It’s a birthday!!!! WE NEED A CAKE!!!!! CANDLES!! RADISH!!! SONG!!!! 😀
Happy birthday to it,
I almost had a fit,
When I forgot it’s special day,
But we’ll PARTY anyway!! 😉
I am such a poet… 😆

Sleigh ride 

It’s time to check in once again on our top scorers in the Daily Pop. This month, let’s take a look at our Sleigh Shot leaderboards. Because who doesn’t want to play a Christmas-themed game in April?

The scores are pretty tight. As of this writing, the day’s leader is Sticky Spinner with 7,917 points. The week’s leader is Green Catfish, with 8,310 points. But your monthly leader is…

Hyper Crumb, with 9,081 points!That looks like a beatable score to me. Do you have what it takes to become the top Sleigh Shot scorer in the month of April? You have a little over a week to find out!

The creators are always just having posts telling us what we already know. Geez creators, get your game on. More peeks, less repeats.
Not that it rhymes, but it should be good. (did I mention I’ve got nearly 450 words in this post! Geez! I write such infrequent, mammoth posts!)
Later peeps!

Red Dragon Island, Store

Man in black… and red

“Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.”

Available exclusively for paying Poptropica members, the Midnight Red Ninja is the latest costume to hit the Poptropica Store and is inspired by the upcoming Red Dragon Island – the perfect outfit to wear when the island rolls out!

Did this happen to remind anyone else of the clothes in the movie The Princess Bride? No? Just me then. 😛

 Prince Humperdinck: Surrender. 
Westley: You mean you wish to surrender to me? Very well, I accept.

And while this costume is only for members, nonmembers don’t have to feel too bad either – although no new costumes for nonmembers were added, there’s always the good old Samurai and original Midnight Ninja.

[UPDATE!] The Red Dragon Island sneak preview has been modified to include a traveling salesman who has set up a little kiosk titled ‘Curio Shop’ where you can easily purchase the new Midnight Red Ninja costume. It’s located next to the wrestling ring.

Now that's what I call customer service.

Maybe putting it on will give you a new confidence to take down those other sumo wrestlers so you can finally claim that Yokozuna title.
