Deep inside a top-secret prison, four of Poptropicaโs 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?
Haaaave you played Super Villain Island yet? It’s now out for members, so join the millions of other players all trying to log in at the same time and hope that maybe your screen won’t freeze from lag so that you can play Poptropica’s 30th island! ๐
Non-members get to play a demo version of the island for now. The Poptropica Help Blog will have a guide up as soon as possible now has a guide available! We also have a discussion page, with links to the tour page, island extras, and more. Feel free to post comments over there or on this post if you have any questions or if you want to provide some help to others also playing the new island quest. Another great place to do that would be the PHC, where you can get responses from others in real time.
So, what do you think of Super Villain Island? The Creators think it may just be the best one yet! Do you think it lives up to its hype? ๐
Poptropica’s homepage now includes a countdown timer for Super Villain Island, so you’ll know what time exactly it comes out on September 27th! There’s also a banner celebrating Poptropica’s 5th birthday, linking to a page about all the secrets from it. ๐
We’ll start with Super Villain Island. The trailer video has been released, packed with epic graphics and comatose villains! Check it out.

Get ready for dreams and disasters, and remember, the PHB’s Super Villain Island page will have guides and other resources available when it comes time to beat the villains. ๐
Also, there is a new Ben 10 Omniverse ad on Main Streets! Thanks to Samwow5 for his help on the guide:
Go inside and talk to Ben. He’ll tell you to talk to Zook. Zookย says he is Benโs new partner, and Zombozoย is up to his old tricks again. Click on the 3rd question. You’ll have to help Ben get to Zombozo.
The rules state that you have to jump and climb your way to the top, but watch out for Zombozoโs bombs. If you get hit too many times, you have to start over. Itโs very easy – just jump to different sides often until you reach the top. When you reach the top, he leaves. You win 2 prizes: the Alien Transformation Power andย Ben 10 Costume.
In other news, don’t forget to enter the PHB’s 7 million hits contest if you haven’t already! You have until this Friday, September 21st for your chance to win a rare costume. ๐
The Super Villain Island members gear pack is now available! Visit the Poptropica Store to pick up your free Night Hare costume (inverted/negative-colored Dr. Hare – this one’s limited edition), Sleeping Powder power (makes everyone fall asleep), and Evil Henchmen item (drops bunnies, crawfish, spiders, robotic mice). Awesome! Thanks, Muddy Axe.
There’s also an ad building forย Monster High, so if you’re interested, check out the costumes and special prizes in the dorms of Venus (prize: Pollenator), Rochelle (Stone Gargoyle), and Robecca (Jetpack)! You might also see some other players around because it appears to be a sort of common room as well.
Some recent new sneak peeks on the Daily Pop suggest a possible city-themed island we may see in the future. Could it be related to this Creator sneak peek about the birth of an island? It even mentions the word smoothie, and one of these newer sneak peeks shows a building called Sluggy’s Smoothies. There’s also a Subway, matching both the island-process-planning sneak peek mentioned, and the Daily Pop.
Breakdown – Looks like a bad neighborhood.In Outline – We only need the broad strokes when laying out scenes.Cup of Joe – I like my coffee like I like my comedy: black.
On Roald Dahl Day, the Creators confirmed what we had been suspecting: an island themed after Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Lots of Daily Pops have evidence for the idea, including this newer one depicting the infamous chocolate river Augustus Gloop fell into:
Deep and Dark – There’s nothing sweet about this dangerous place.
If you haven’t already, look for the blue balloon with a “5” on it in any common room (though Early Poptropica’s Soda Pop Shop is the easiest because of its smaller size) and pop it to get a bonus firework-shooting, limited edition epic birthday cake costume. There’s also a free color-changing balloon in the Store! Poptropica’s 5th birthday celebration lasts for the rest of September. Check out BT’s post for more pics!
The balloon should look like this:
In other news, don’t forget to join in the PHB’s 7 million hits celebration for your chance to win an account with a rare costume! It ends next Friday, September 21st. Click here for more information.
That concludes another mega post! Have a great weekend! ๐
The Poptropica Tour pages for all islands have been redecorated for the upcoming Super Villain Island, with dark edges and the main villains (Bard, Crawfish, Widow, and Hare) circled with blue lightning.
While you’re there, you may as well visit the tour page for Super Villain and pick up the island extras: the desktop wallpaper and printable poster. Looks like Super Villain’s going to be super epic! ๐
