Welcome back, everypony! We at the Ponytropica Blog can’t wait to continue sharing the magic of friendship with you all! But first, we need to clarify something…
✨APRIL FOOLS!✨
Ponytropica: the best blog in all of Equestria!
Sorry, fillies and gentlecolts, but our pony-focused rebrand was a ruse from the beginning.
Magic Kid kicked off the shenanigans by announcing our little rebrand and hopes to bring in the much larger MLP fanbase. She even drew this adorable banner depicting the current PHB authors as ponies!

Later, I shared my picks for the Poptropican Elements of Harmony. Not gonna lie, this was actually an idea I had for a while. Whether or not you agree with my picks, it was a fun thought experiment as both a Poptropican and a pegasister.
The pony palooza even extended to our Discord server, the Poptropica Help Chat, which was renamed to the Ponytropica Help Chat. Some of you liked the blog’s bold new direction and played along. For example, Lone Flipper submitted this cute drawing of her pony-fied Poptropican to our #pop-art channel! And to top off the fun, I shared another post: Pop 5: Horses, featuring Poptropica’s most superior stallions. 🐎
The PHB will continue to be the top stop for all things Pop, but that won’t stop us from dipping our toes into other IPs. Feel free to combine your love for MLP (or some other media) with Poptropica any time of year. That’s the reason why our Pop-over series exists! 🎠
If you wish to see more Poptropica and Pony content, I highly recommend following Sleepy Biker, who has been reimagining Pop characters as various creatures in Equestria. You can follow her on Deviant Art, Instagram, and Tumblr.
And feel free to draw some other Pop characters or even your OCs as ponies. 🐴 We could probably make a sequel featuring your art.
Welcome back to the Ponytropica Blog, the place for all things Poptropica and ponies! 🐴🌈🏝️
It’s no surprise that Poptropica has some ponies (and pony-like creatures) that call it home. Today, we’ll be counting down the five best horses in all of Poptropica! We’ll be looking at every variety of horse from the mundane to the mythical. Sound the bugle because it’s time to see which Poptropican pony will win this race to our hearts!
And they’re off!🏇
#5: Jersey Devil (Cryptids Island)
Starting our list in fifth place is the cryptid that terrified a generation! Some may argue that the Jersey Devil is more goat than horse, but we think its horsey face and build are enough for it to qualify for this list. In fact, we argue that it counts as a draconequus like our Chaos King, Discord! Nonetheless, the Jersey Devil’s bone-chilling design and stage presence gave us one of the most iconic and frightening moments in Poptropica history! 😱
#4: Pony Girl (Poptropicon)
Pony Girl
Coming in fourth place, we have the purple pony paladin herself! Pony Girl presumably originates from the Pony Girls comic book series, in which she is a superhero with the power to animorph into a crime-fighting equine. This horse-powered hero is so good that she earned a spot in the Mighty Action Force! She may only be a horse half of the time, but the fact that she fights villains as one earns her a place on this list! She’s truly an Equestria Girl!💜
#3: Pet Pony and Baby Alicorn Followers (Store)
We have a tie for third place! These little ponies follow you, the player, throughout your travels. On one side, you have precious pet ponies that are super customizable. On the other, you have a flying blue baby alicorn. It’s hard to choose who’s the better bestie, so why not pick both? Since pets and followers can be active at the same time, embark on your next adventure with your earthbound equine and airborne alicorn at your side! 🐴
#2: Pegasus (Astro Knights Island)
Our runner up in this race is the pegasus from Astro Knights Island‘s Jungle Planet! Although Mordred used this winged horse as a decoy, it becomes a noble steed that helps you take down the Mother Phoenix. An interesting thing I want to mention is that, despite being called a pegasus, this creature also has a horn, which technically makes it an alicorn. However, it lacks a horn in the Astro Knights book adaptation, therefore being a more traditional pegasus. Horn or no horn, this is a welcome ally on your interstellar quest! 🪽
#1: Elmer (Wild West Island)
Time for some horseplay.
Finishing our list in first place is Elmerfrom Wild West Island! Now, what’s a good cowboy without a trusty horse by his side? Your reward for taming this stallion is a loyal companion on your mission to stop El Mustachio Grande. You and Elmer travel to towns, deliver mail, pan for gold, herd cattle, uncover secret hideouts, and bring outlaws to justice! And Elmer did all of that without wings or magic powers! Let’s give the biggest “Yeehaw!” to Elmer, the best horse in all of Poptropica! 🤠
Do you agree with our picks? Did we forget any of your favorite Poptropican ponies? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned for more posts from the Ponytropica Blog! 🐴🌈🏝️
Thank you for reading, and have a pony-tastic day!
Hello, everypony! We hope you’re loving the Ponytropica Blog so far! This rebrand finally gave me the opportunity to ask this burning question: which six Poptropica characters would represent the Elements of Harmony? Without further ado, let’s begin!
The Element of Honesty represents more than telling the truth. A truly honest person is open about their intentions, stays true to their values, and accepts harsh realities. Which Poptropica character best fits this description?
Oliver Hartman, specifically the version of him from the graphic novels, fits this idea. He’s openly passionate about his interests and lets everyone know what’s on his mind. He sympathized with the Protectors’ mission to preserve the timeline, even if that meant tragedies would have to occur. And in the last book, he decided not to change the past when given the opportunity. He’s an honest kid who accepts life the way that it is.🍎
The Element of Kindness extends beyond being polite. Those aligned with this Element are highly empathetic and go out of their way to help others in need. Who in Poptropica is the kindest of them all?
Basho abandoned his samurai training and embraced a life of peace. While many would assume a ninja master to teach only stealth and combat, Basho encourages his students to help others because it’s the right thing to do. Even after his tyrannical brother summoned the destructive Red Dragon, Basho forgave him and offered to help rebuild Edo. Basho’s great compassion proves that he’s worthy of the Element of Kindness. 🦋
The Element of Laughter is all about spreading happiness. Those who represent this Element always look on the bright side and help others do the same. Which Poptropican can lighten the mood like no other?
Like Pinkie Pie, DJ Saturday Nite loves a good party. She kept her cool in the midst of a Zomberry outbreak and continued to play funky tunes until she was rescued. When she’s not surrounded by zombies, she can be spotted on Home Island inviting players to have fun in common rooms. Need more proof? She’s labeled as an optimist in the Zomberry Island pitch bible. Easy choice for the Element of Laughter!🎈
The Element of Generosity is easy to pretty understand. People aligned with this Element aren’t tied down by their possessions and make great sacrifices to help others. Which Poptropican regularly gives the most?
When his funds began to run low, Harold Mews promised to give the last of his wealth to whoever can prove the existence of cryptids. He rescued the player after they were sabotaged, provided resources for their adventure, and gave them his money as promised. If he hadn’t already promised to give away his money, Mews would have used it to build a sanctuary for Bigfoot. Mews devoted his time and money into researching and helping cryptids, so he’s my pick to represent the Element of Generosity. 💎
The Element of Loyalty represents devotion. Loyal people will stay by your side through thick and thin, and the most loyal of all are willing to put themselves in danger to save their loved ones. Which character is the most loyal?
All three knights of Arturus are deeply committed to protecting their kingdom, so much so that they travelled to distant planets to save Princess Elyana. If I have to pick one, it would be Sir Pelasus. In the Astro Knights book, he was the first to jump into action when Mordred invaded the kingdom. It was a close call, but Sir Pelasus won the honor of representing the Element of Loyalty. 🌩️
The Element of Magic is tricky to assign because its title is so vague. According to the MLP tabletop game, Tails of Equestria, those “aligned to this Element are sensitive to the most powerful of all Elements— the Magic of Friendship.” So, Friendship is Magic. Which Poptropica character values friendship the most?
I know this sounds like a reach, but hear me out. Amelia cares for her fellow adventurers, showing them the ropes and forming strong bonds along the way. Yes, she and the Red Baron had a falling out, but that doesn’t stop Amelia from trying to reconnect and being worried about her safety. Also, Amelia loves unicorns, so she’s basically a My Little Pony fan. Amelia may tell to not trust magic dudes, but you can trust her with the Element of Magic. ✨
And those are my picks for the Poptropican Elements of Harmony! Do you agree with my picks, or do you think some other characters are more worthy of representing these Elements? Leave your thoughts in the comments below!
Thank you for reading, and have a pony-tastic day!
Attention, attention, all readers and Poptropicans… or should I say, all readers and… Ponies?
Buckle your seatbelts, and keep your hooves and wings inside the vehicle at all times, because we at the PHB have a BIG announcement to make! 📣🌈
While the Poptropica fandom has been dwindling from the game’s lack of updates, we at the Poptropica Help Blog can’t ignore the fact that meanwhile, the My Little Pony fandom has significantly higher fan numbers, reaching tens of thousands!
To keep our creative spirits alive, we at the PHB have made the executive decision to rebrand our content towards My Little Pony, while still occasionally posting any updates the Poptropica fandom has. 😁✨
Welcome to…
🐴✨ The Ponytropica Blog! 🌈🏝️
And don’t be afraid of this change! We will still be striving to post nostalgic childhood things that you know and love—now including My Little Pony! 🎠💖
Surely, most of you lovely readers are already aware of the series “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.” The series first premiered in 2010, in the same year as the release of popular Poptropica islands such as Mythology and Steamworks—which means both MLP and Poptropica are connected by the same era. ✨
Thank you all—Poptropicans and Ponies alike—for staying with us on this journey. 😁🌈
Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Invisible Ring, showcasing a Realm inspired by Super Mario Galaxy. Enjoy!
“You’re MINE, purple coins!”
“Go mama go!” “You can do it!” “Don’t give up!”
-GAME OVER-
“NOOOO, not again!”
“You were SO close!”
“I know! Purple comets are the WORST!”
Invisible Ring! …Are you playing Super Mario Galaxy again?
Of course! It’s one of the BEST Mario games… AND my blueprint for building my new Mario-themed Realm Tour…
That you’re LATE for! There are tourists waiting by your Starry Sky Gateway right NOW!
Oh! I forgot! …Good thing I found a magic wand to go with my Rosalina outfit. I’ll be there in a flash.
Welcome to the Comet Observatory of Poptropica Realms! It’s just below this little Gateway planet. Mama built this planet and this ENTIRE observatory out of a tiny barren rock, just like the Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy!
Thank you Luma, I couldn’t have said it better myself.
Mama even built ME! And ALL the Lumas you see in this Poptropica Realm!
That’s right! The rest of the Lumas are down below in the observatory and the underground theater.
How are you gonna take the visitors down there, mama? Are you gonna use your wand again?
Not this time, Luma! There’s a red pipe right there. It can take us all down to where the tour begins.
Ok. Good luck, Mama! Good luck, intergalactic tourists!
Oh, good, you made it out of the gate! The tour begins THIS way, just across the bridge! You ready, Mama?
