Deep inside a top-secret prison, four of Poptropica’s most infamous villains float in suspended animation. Your mission: to infiltrate their minds and extract the sources of their evil. Can you withstand a journey to the heart of darkness, or will their twisted dreams trap you forever?
Recent Daily Pops have been hinting at a new city-themed adventure… but what happens when the city lights start to dim? This sneak peek from the Creators’ Blog could be for an upcoming new Halloween feature!
He appears to be carrying a flashlight – is that what the battery bar is for down at the bottom left corner? Well whatever you do, don’t let that light run out… or Slenderman will get you. Maybe.
While we’re on the subject of nighttime, don’t forget that the members-only limited edition Night Hare costume will be gone from the Store when Super Villain Island is released to everyone next Thursday, October 18th! Grab it now while you still can. Super Villain is this year’s most popular island, Poptropica’s 30th island, and if you need help, our Super Villain Guide and other resources should have you covered.
Finally, check out our Fourth Annual Halloween Costume Competition! We’ve received lots of great entries so far and would love to see yours, too, if you haven’t entered yet. And even if you have, you’re welcome to enter more!
A new poll on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog asks, “What is your favorite new Island of 2012?” A vast majority of the votes – over half (53%) – went to the all-new Super Villain Island! (Be sure to check out our guide if you need any help.) The rest were Lunar Colony (9%), Wimpy Boardwalk (8%), Poptropolis Games (8%), Twisted Thicket (6%), Vampire’s Curse (9%), and SOS Island (4%). Percentages are at the time of this post, but there’s still time left to cast your vote. 😀
Standup comics – Because reading the daily paper is too old-school.
There’s a new ad for Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, for the DVD coming out on Tuesday, October 16. You can find it on Lunar Colony and some other islands. Thanks to Samwow5 for the guide and prize pics:
To complete the walkthrough go all the right and talk to Alex, the lion. He says he wants a circus act that blows everyone way. Then ask the second question and go into the cannon. The goal: you have to move with the mouse (up and down) through as many rings as possible but don’t miss to many or you will have to start over.
When you win you get the Marty Costume and the Circus Cannon Power. Da da da da da da circus, da da da da da da da da afro… 🙂
And thanks to Cyclone for the pic below. Gotta love that circus afro! 😀
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival from the PHB! Indulge in lanterns, lights, fruits, and of course, mooncakes! Or, just enjoy another regular Sunday. 😀
What would the super villains do to wreck this holiday? Black Widow might vandalize your beautiful Chinese paintings. Dr. Hare might steal the Moon Rabbit’s carrots and hide them away. You might have to even fly to the moon on your custom spaceship and rescue a princess, or Binary Bard wins. And Captain Crawfish would probably have to go in hiding because who knows, we might be hungry for crawfishy mooncakes.
How many other villain scenarios can you come up with? 😛
The PHB’s written walkthrough for Super Villain Island (with pictures) is now available! Thanks goes to Samwow5 and Cool Bite for their help. You can access it quickly by clicking on the Super Villain Island icon in the sidebar.
In honor of Super Villain Island, the PHB has a new header… with a new slogan! “Poptropica Help Blog: We put the POP in Poptropica.” It’s got a ring to it. 😀 And, if anyone’s wondering, the “POP” is that explosion of excitement you get when you visit the PHB. Yes, don’t deny it. 😉
Wondering how Brave Flame and Young Clown from the top 10 finishers of the new island got those robes? Finishing the members-only bonus quest grants you a reward – in this case, the Dream Guardian costume!
Oh, and remember the DS game Poptropica’s going to be releasing? PHB reader Samwow5 found an article about it in French, and when translated, it mentions that besides the Nintendo DS, they might be considering “other portable gaming devices.” Hmm…
So, you probably know that Super Villain Island came out yesterday. (If you need a guide, click here!) And that means a bunch of members rushing around trying to beat Super Villain Island before anybody else. And, just like always, the Creators have done a post, telling us the first ten people to finish Super Villain Island.
Super Villain Island is now out for Poptropica Members. Once again, we’d like to tip our cap to those players who journeyed to the source of evil just a little bit faster than everybody else. Congratulations to:
1. Massive Spider
2. Zippy Leopard
3. Brave Flame
4. Nervous Thunder
5. Shy Scorpion
6. Brave Bones
7. Speedy Ant
8. Blue Shadow
9. Young Clown
10. Golden Penguin
Congratulations to all of you! And to those who have yet to delve into the minds of Poptropica’s most fiendish villains, well, you have a lot to look forward to.
Congratulations to all the Poptropicans who were in the first ten list! And congratulations to anyone who’s beaten Super Villain Island! Especially if you’ve beaten the bonus quest. That thing was really hard.
In case you didn’t already know, Super Villain Island comes out to everyone on October 18th, so mark your calenders!
