PHB Double Special: Make Fact Monster Great Again!

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! This PHB Double Special midweek post comes to you in two small parts – the former is a cool little glitch, and the latter involves two new costumes for everyone. Enjooooy!

Part 1: Bring back the Fact Monster buttons!

(This first part is a guest post by Small Carrot, a Poptropican in our community. UPDATE: Credit for this glitch goes to Keith Sammut’s website.)

Hello Poptropicans, I’m Small Carrot, a common Poptropican you can find on the PHC. I am here to present a fun glitch, and Tall Melon helped me with it. By the way, if you want to add me on Pop, my usernames are rahin6666 and thefreetinycarrot.

Anyway, here’s how you perform this glitch:

  1. Go to Time Tangled Island and obtain the Time Device from the people inside Pendulum’s Lab.
  2. Then, go into the common room on Main Street (the Party Time Tower).
  3. Use the time device in the bottom-left corner and go wherever you want.
  4. Walk around, and you’ll see Fact Monster buttons! If you press on them, they give you some interesting facts.

This is the old version of Time Tangled Island – before it was made into a SUI (sound updated island), there were Fact Monster buttons all over the island to drop some cool educational knowledge about the historical facets of the island. Not sure why Poptropica did away with them in the update, but now you know where to find them again! I hope you liked the glitch! :carrot:

Part 2: U.S. Poptropidential Election 2016!

This next part could probably use a little more Fact Monster, as our two honorary guests aren’t so keen on checking their facts. 😉 Please welcome, in honor of the upcoming U.S. presidential election of 2016 and tonight’s final debate, the (not so) beloved candidates…

Donald Trump (user: DonaldTrumpPHB) and Hillary Clinton (user: HillaryClintonPHB)!

…Sorry, couldn’t resist. Yes, their costumes are customizable. Just friend the usernames above! (I know, they aren’t the only options – but they’re the most iconic.)

Also, check out Perfect Sky’s renditions of these characters:

We are of course still taking entries for our Halloween/Fall Costume Contest – and we’re enjoying the spoopiness so far! Be sure to enter (as many times as you’d like!) for your chance to win a Poptropica membership, courtesy of Poptropica!

But hey, who needs these two candidates when we’ve got #MemeKingForPresident? 👑 Now there’s a viable choice – who else would make our Mondays better with a weekly dosage of Poptropica memery?

PHB Pop-over Special: Stranger Things

Slanted Fish

“Friends don’t lie,” and this is no lie – we’ve got new costumes for you!

Crossing over between Poptropica and another franchise is back and under a poppin’ new name: Pop-over! (That’s ‘Poptropica’ and ‘crossover’, by the way.) You can check out past Pop-overs we’ve done here on the PHB in the new Pop-over category here.

And for this post’s Pop-over – as you can tell – we’re crossing over to the world of Stranger Things! Perhaps you’ve heard of it – Stranger Things is a Netflix-original drama (encompassing supernatural, science fiction, horror, mystery) that was released this summer and has since received wide acclaim.

Those of you who are fans of the show might enjoy this collection of costumes from the PHB – and the best part is, most of these parts are customizable! All you need to do is add the usernames shown in the picture above (or listed below) and use the Costumizer in your friends panel.

(If you didn’t already know, we have tools like iPop and MAP on our Glitching page that make it easy to customize your character – plus our ASG page is full of rare costumes!)

Stranger Things is currently out with just one season (8 episodes), so you can catch up in one weekend if you’re curious about this suspenseful story set in the ’80s!

It’s become a favorite among some of us on the PHB team, and we’re excited to share it with you. (Just keep in mind, there are some elements that may not be suitable for everyone – such as flashing lights, guns, and profanity. Generally speaking, it may not be your thing if you’re epileptic or under 13, but use your discretion. That being said, the storyline and setting is excellent, so check it out if it interests you!)

Hope you enjoyed this Stranger Things/Poptropica crossover! Let us know what you think of the show in the comments below, and as always, stay popping, Poptropicans! 😁👻

PHB Pop-over Special: Believe in Steven!

Slanted Fish

(This is a guest post by Shaky Skunk, a Poptropica blogger with her own site at the Poptropica Skunk Blog. Enjoy the costumes and crossover!)

Hey Poptropicans! Shaky Skunk here with a fun special this weekend, and you’d better believe it!

This is for Poptropica fans who also enjoy Cartoon Network’s series Steven Universe. I hope you enjoy these ASGs I made (well, besides the Steven one) and find use to them. (For more information about ASG-ing, check out the PHB’s Avatar Studio Gift page.)

Welcome to Beach City, home to Steven Universe and the Crystal Gems. Those guys are always going on amazing adventures, so let’s try to find them.

Hm… it seems like they’re not in the temple right now. Where could they be? …Aha! They’re having a Multiverse party in the Crystal Caverns… where they’re fighting off corrupted Centipeedles.

There’s Steven Universe, half-gem, half-human, and titular character of the show. He desperately wants to help fight, but he’s kinda in the middle of eating the last Cookie Cat.

A swarm of Centipeedles are headed in your direction, and there’s nothing you can do about it. Fortunately, Pearl jumps towards them, and stabs them with her spear, poofing them one by one.

Alright, I think you’re safe now. All of the Centipeedles have been bubbled. Hm, it’s not like your Poptropican not to be at the center of the show, but I guess you missed out on all the action…

Suddenly, a Centipeedle jumps onto your shoe, and starts crawling up your leg! You’re going to have to shake it off, or fight! What? You don’t have a weapon? SPLAT! …Oh, wait. Garnet — leader of the Crystal Gems — solved that…

Er, you might want to buy a new pair of shoes. What, Poptropicans are usually barefoot? Well, at least this still beats fighting Captain Crawfish. I think you should stop wiping your feet on that boulder. It looks kind of angry. Wait — that’s not a boulder! It’s Amethyst! Get out of here, before she starts whipping you!

Maybe you should just stick to island quests…

If you want to steal one of their outfits, just perform the ASG on Garnet-ASG, AmethystASG, PearlASG, or StevenUniverseASG (the names should be evident).

Remember, if every porkchop were perfect, we wouldn’t have hot dogs!

And that concludes this PHB Special. What do you think of Steven Universe? Let me know in the comments!
