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.

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!

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. 🙂
