Bringing Mighty Action Force cards to life: 4-Player Edition 💥🃏

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!

It’s a bird? It’s a plane?  No, it’s me! Invisible Ring, creator of the REAL-LIFE Mighty Action Force card game, has RETURNED!

That’s right, readers! This Poptropican was but a fellow Mighty Action Force fan, who emerged from PoptropiCon Island and forged her OWN Mighty Action Force card game that she could play in real life, anytime and anywhere she wanted… then shared it with the PHB online, so that EVERYONE can print out and play their own Mighty Action Force game, too. (There’s also an Astro-Knights edition!)

But she had not yet shared ALL of her Mighty Action Force games, which brings us to the here and now. If you’re already acquainted with these games, then you may be looking for a bigger challenge. Heck, you may even be itching to play this game with more than one player at a time. And that is where the 4-PLAYER Mighty Action Force game comes in! Download below:

Comparing Dream Islands: Fairytale vs Goofball 🧚🤪

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!

Once upon a time, a pauper Poptropican had the honor of writing special parchments for the Kingdom of Poptropica. Among them were two parchments: one comparing Fairytale and Arabian Nights Island, and one comparing Goofball and Jade Scarab Island.

These were the Dream Islands, designed by players in Poptropica’s Create Your Dream Island Contests, and I was that parchment maker. Now, I have returned to share with you two NEW Dream Island parchments, starting with this one: Fairytale vs Goofball.

Comparisons

Fairytale and Goofball were the first two Dream Island winners of the 2020 Dream Island Contest.

Both of these newer islands have astounding, artistic, and colorful new scenery, and both islands also have inhabitants that looked and behaved differently than the inhabitants of any classic island.

Furthermore, they both have teeny-tiny little blimps like the one that was on Shrink Ray Island!

Contrasts

However, when you look below the surface, you’ll find that the quests of the islands are shockingly different from each other.

Fairytale Island is made up of mini-quests, and each mini-quest in question is a fractured fairytale; perhaps the most fractured kind of fairytale anyone’s ever SEEN! …That means it’s quite possibly the shortest, easiest, and silliest island of all Poptropica. How did THAT happen?

Perhaps Dr. Blandston —or should I say Dr. Gramston — got to Fairytale Island just as they did Goofball Island.

In my opinion, Goofball Island lives up to Poptropica’s ancient traditions of action, adventure, and mystery. 

It is not three mini-quests, but one BIG quest, and an original, more challenging one at that. Not just a challenge to play, but a challenge to fully understand, for only when you find the secret subway journal like a true detective do you realize where the Dr. Blandstons came from in the first place!

This brings me to the greatest Fairytale-Goofball difference of all: the villains.

Rumpelstiltskin is the villain messing up Fairytale Island, but he gets away and you never catch him. 

Dr. Gramston is the original villain of Goofball Island, but during the quest, the horrors are carried out by the Blandstons. You see, long ago, Dr. Gramston found a way to transform others into Dr. Blandstons, and it’s spread like a disease since. But the Blandston curse is temporary. So once the Blandstons returned to normal, some of them teamed up and found a way to break the curse once and for all, and fully restore balance (or dullness, or goofiness) to Goofball Island!

…Isn’t that a happier ending than Fairytale?

…I guess Fairytale has kind of a happy ending, too (Rumpel bonus quest aside). But however you slice it, that island’s story never comes full circle like Goofball Island’s does…

That’s why I’m gonna get to the bottom of it in the second part of my legendary pirate movie coming up.

Conclusion

To wrap it all up, my favorite of these two Dream Islands is Goofball Island. What about you? Feel free to share in the comments below!

P.S. I won’t judge if you like Fairytale Island better. I still kinda like that island, too!

Descending Mount Olympus: April Fools! ⚡️

Slanted Fish

Fear not, folks: Zeus’s reign of terror with Mount Olympus is over, and the Poptropica Help Blog is back to steal his thunder. April Fools! 🗻🌩️😶‍🌫️

Zeus took over the PHB on April Fools’ Day.

For a while there, it looked like Zeus had managed to conquer both the PHB and PHC, demanding loyalty from Poptropicans everywhere in his freshly extended kingdom of Mount Olympus. But just like his previous domination attempts in Poptropica, we’ve once again thwarted Dr. Jupiter’s plans by regaining access to our site and kicking him off.

Even though Zeus is going to have to admit he can’t force his way to the top spot of the Favorite Poptropica Island Tournament, the Greek god of thunder sure enjoyed his moment of glory in the comments and chat! This Grandpa Thunderpants, as he came to be known, even received fan art from some of his followers (or haters?) on the PHC. Check them out:

A round of thunderous applause for all the Zeus Zealots! 👏👏

We had a lot of fun bringing you a taste of the second-best Poptropica island on this occasion, and hope you enjoyed the shenanigans celebrating Mythology Island (Classic). (Play it on Steam or Flashpoint!)

Fun fact: The Mount Olympus background was illustrated by Gentle Dolphin for a previous PHB prank. Smart Bubbles helped create this year’s Mount Olympus header.

May Poptropica be as immortal as the zap-happy Zeus!

A MESSAGE FROM ZEUS: WELCOME TO MOUNT OLYMPUS 🌩️

Zeus

Foolish mortals, how dare you forsake Mythology Island?! How dare you choose that mismatched menace over me?!

The tournament must have been rigged from the beginning! Why else would the people favor that island? Mythology Island is home to Classical Greek architecture and powerful beings such as myself, while Astr*-Kn*ghts Isl*nd suffers from an identity crisis and is plagued by an equally confused villain. I will stand against this injustice!

From now on, the Poptropica Help Blog shall be known as Mount Olympus! I would have taken over sooner if I had known how to use “Word Press” and “Discord”. I had conquered technology during my time as Dr. Jupiter, but managing a website is on another level.

Oh, and don’t even think about calling your precious authors. I have locked them out of their accounts. It is only fair that they lose their domain as well.

Now that this wretched site is mine, I will give you Poptropican readers four simple rules to follow:

  1. 🛐 Show respect to your new leader. Write words of worship in the comment section or give yourself the “Zeus Zealot” role on the newly-conquered Mount Olympus Chat Discord server.
  2. ⚡️ Only discuss Mythology Island. Never mention other islands unless in a mocking manner, especially the false winner of the tournament.
  3. 🌄 Send photographic offerings. Like other gods, I favor certain offerings. You may send photographs of my favorite things: lightning bolts, eagles, bulls, and oak trees.
  4. 🏛️ Build temples. I encourage you lot to build temples and expand the Mythology Empire. You may construct them on gaming platforms like Poptropica Realms, Roblox, or Minecraft. If these are not available to you, you may draw schematics or sculpt them with supplies at hand.

Obey these rules, and I will spare you from my wrath. Bow before Zeus, the god of thunder!

—Zeus from Mythology Island (Classic)

Poptropica Activity Books of Fun ✏️✂️🔎

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring. Enjoy!

Did you ever notice how many activities were scattered across the Poptropica Help Blog and the *cough*… “late” Poptropica Creators’ Blog? I thought that maybe someone should gather all those activities up into one spot so it could be more convenient to find… so I did.

First up, the Ultimate Activity Book: compiling not only the Poptropica activities and coloring pages, but also some additional coloring pages to honor the sponsored islands. BONUS: Lots of revived Poptropica activities and custom-made goodies in there, made by yours truly!

Next, I gathered up every Poptropica cut-out I could find, both here and on the Creators’ Blog, and put them together into a complete Crafts & Cut-outs collection. (See also: The PHB’s DIY Paper Crafts collection!)

And last but not least, it is my duty as the first person to have saved all the comics from the old sponsored islands of Poptropica to share them with all of you in this Scavenger’s Comic Book!

poptropica-scavenger-bookDownload

…But am I a scavenger, merely digging up activities that are already dug up? Am I a mere plagiarist stealing activities everywhere, putting them into books and calling them my own?

Gosh, no! It may look like that, but that’s not what I’m doing at all! I say that these are my books; not in the sense that I came up with everything in the books (I did come up with a few things, though), but in the sense that I worked so hard putting these books together for everyone to enjoy at no extra charge. 

Whatever activities I got from other websites are free downloadable PDFs in which I have cited and included their web links, and whatever activities I found by way of Google are those I checked to be sure they are royalty-free. For I do not intend to steal; I intend to share.

This is a non-profit project only meant to spread some fun for all those who are looking for it! And if that’s you, then look no further than these three free downloadable (and printable) books to share with your friends and family, compliments of Invisible Ring. Enjoy!

Hope you enjoyed this guest post by Invisible Ring. If you did, you might also enjoy another print-out project of hers, Bringing Mighty Action Force to life.
