Houses for Poptropicans?

rrburner

Well, it’s about time! Recently, Captain Crawfish released this exciting news on the PCB!

Poll position

We’ve got a new poll running in the sidebar that we’d like you to answer. This is a simple one: would you want to have your own space in Poptropica, which you could decorate however you like and invite friends to come visit?

We’re always looking for ways to make Poptropica even better. Your opinion can help!

I always wanted a Poptropica house! With a red wall and a desk spray painted black! That’d be awesome. So be sure to vote yes on the poll! Oh, and he also released this redundant news.

You talk the talk…

Have you had a chance to check out the sneak preview of Red Dragon Island? Lots of Poptropicans have already battled their way to Yokozuna status. Whether or not you’ve joined their status, you may have noticed something interesting about your opponents: they’re a mouthy bunch.

Yes, your Sumo opponents talk a lot of trash before the matches. Let them talk the talk — but if you can walk the walk, then you’ll be a Yokozuna in no time!

Chubby McChubby’s got a potty mouth. Oh, and there’s a new ad on main street sponsoring PBS’ two new shows, Noah Comprende (rip off of Dora the Explorer) and Chuck VanderChuck’s something something EXPLOSION! (A man who is a bit TOO nonsensical.) You watch the video and get two costumes. They’re pretty lame though. Peace!

Announcing the next Poptropica Island!

You’ve seen the Sneak Peeks. You’ve watched the teaser trailer. And now we can reveal for the first time that the next Poptropica Island is…

Red Dragon Island! And it’s brought to you with the help of our friends at Magic Tree House. Prepare for an epic journey to ancient Japan!

We’ll have much more information about Red Dragon Island in the days to come. In the meantime, you can visit the travelmap on Poptropica right now to access the special sneak preview of Red Dragon Island — a Sumo wrestling tournament!

Enjoy!

Well, looks like I was wrong, it has nothing to do with red turtles– in fact, it’s something even cooler.

Dragons!

After speculating about the video that was posted by the Creators, the secret has in fact, been revealed. It’s been confirmed– the new island, Red Dragon Island, is possibly based on the book “Dragon of the Red Dawn” part of the Magic Tree House series, by Mary Pope Osbourne.

A man stood to the side and told a story to the audience.

“What’s he saying?” said Annie.

“He is telling the legend of the Cloud Dragon,” said Basho. “The Cloud Dragon is one of the guardian animals of the four directions. She has the power of flight and commands the rain clouds.”

~Basho being a smart alec, Mary Pope Osbourne

Heh heh... *breathes out smoke*

Don’t forget to check out the sneak preview! Fat guys Sumo wrestlers. Fun!

(Don’t make fun though, looks like you’ve gained some pounds too.)

Better start working out. And what better way than a little sumo wrestling?

Here you’ll have to beat another sumo wrestler. Several, actually! Talk to the ref standing by the platform to get started.

Prepare for impact! Push or be pushed!

You’ll have to go through 20 rounds, 4 ranks, beating several people, to get each costume. (Well, at least if you’re a member. -__-)

Here’s the Maegashira costume, the first rank:

Just one? 😦 *sigh* Lucky members.

Good luck!

The wrestler ranks are:

  1. Juryo (starter)
  2. Maegashira (highest for non-members)
  3. Sanyaku
  4. Ozeki
  5. Yokozuna (highest for members)
Here’s Juyo’s character as a heavy Maegashira! (Interesting how the starter rank is called ‘Juryo,’ almost like Juyo!)

Just for fun: Did you know that Red Dragon is also a possible Poptropica player name? Now isn’t that cool. 🙂

Kanji: Secret Revealed

The Creators have posted a new video and it is titled “Coming Soon to Poptropica: Kanji Secret.” On YouTube, the description is:

A new island is coming to Poptropica! What will the name of this new island be? The kanji holds the answer!

And here is the video:

Dragons, patterns, and… some Japanese words. If anyone is able to read it, we could have the secret of the next island! According to our readers’ comments, it seems that everyone can agree that the Kanji reads “Red Dragon”!

Prepare to get Twisted!

For those of you who have already finished Wimpy Wonderland Island by now, congratulations! But for those of you who haven’t, a new challenge has now been added as part of the island quest, which means extra fun (or work, depending on how you look at it, but hopefully fun, right?)!

To get Greg off his video game console, you’ll have to beat the game Twisted Wizard for him! Captain Crawfish of the PCB described it as “three levels of ogre-zapping fun” and generously offers this helpful tip: You can rotate the blocks by pressing the space bar.

Happy wizarding!

Already completed Wimpy Wonderland? You can still experience the fun by going to the ‘Games‘ tab in your inventory and selecting the Twisted Wizard CD!

You come to check for the latest Poptropica news and you find…

A trailer video for Wimpy Wonderland!

A little late, considering the island was released to everyone over a week ago (and even sooner for the members), but it’s still a pretty nice preview for those who have yet to start their adventure in finding Manny. Remember, if you need some help, we have a written walkthrough here, a map here, and a video walkthrough here.

//This message was brought to you by the local paper boy of Poptropica.//

Remember, members who log in any time during the early access period for Wimpy Wonderland will get a special Paper Boy/Girl costume for FREE to keep forever, even after their membership ends!
