PHB Pop-over Special: Saved by the Bell 🔔

The main cast from left to right: Zack, Kelly, Jessie, Slater, Screech, Lisa

Howdy doodly Poptropicanos, and welcome to an all-new Pop-over special. It’s been some time since we’ve done one of these, so for those who need a refresher—a Pop-over special is where we merge the world of Poptropica with another intellectual property. Basically, the name “Pop-over” is derived from the combination of “Poptropica” and “crossover.” Now, let’s get into it!

Zack
Kelly
Jessie
Slater
Screech
Lisa

This pop-over centers on the iconic NBC sitcom, Saved by the Bell, which ran from 1989 to 1993. The show garnered immense popularity which led to the creation of two TV movies, two spin-off series, and a revival series in 2020. On top of all that, it was recognized in the past as one of the “20 Best Shows of All Time.” (Check out their banger of a theme song.)

Anyway, I crafted the outfits shown in the top graphic by assembling different garments and hairstyles from our wonderful Avatar Studio Gift (ASG) page. I then converted these finalized designs into my own ASGs, allowing you to replicate the looks with greater ease.

To access these designs, simply open the ASG Machine and input the username of the character you wish to clone, followed by your account username and password. (Please note that your login information will not be retained; it is solely utilized for the ASG process.) The usernames for the characters are provided below:

  • To look like the mischievous & impulsive Zack Morris, type the username ZackMorrisASG.
  • If you’re feeling like a loveable goofball, ScreechPowersASG‘s look might match your energy.
  • KellyKapowskiASG will transform your appearance to resemble that of the preppy, kind-hearted popular girl.
  • Stay too cool for school like Slater with ACSlaterASG‘s workout-ready apparel
  • Look no further than JessieSpanoASG if you’re aiming for a charming and modest look.
  • If you’re intrigued by the extravagant style of Bayside’s ultimate gossip queen, Lisa, then you should definitely try LisaTurtleASG.

Saved by the Bell revolves around a group of six teenagers as they journey through their high school years at the fictional Bayside High School, located in the vibrant city of Los Angeles, California. While the show does delve into serious topics such as environmental issues and women’s rights from time to time, the primary emphasis remains on comedic and light-hearted content.

Hope you enjoyed this crossover of Saved by the Bell × Poptropica! Have you ever seen the show before? I must admit I’m a fan. I’ve watched every episode and both movies at least twice. While Saved by the Bell aired long before my time, it brings to mind several Disney Channel shows I enjoyed during my childhood, which, while somewhat campy, still possessed a certain depth and emotional resonance. I really feel like the show set the tone for kids & teen programming that was yet to come. What are your thoughts on Saved by the Bell?

Thanks for tuning in! I appreciate your guys’ time and look forward to chatting with you all again soon. Pop on! (P.S. Check out our Poptropica Look Book for more outfit inspo.)

Poetry à la Poptropica 🪶

LJ

Yo Poptropicans! LJ here with a new post. How are y’all today? (Read that intro again. It’s basically a haiku. 😉)

Waterfalls: Follow this stream of consciousness.

A haiku, in my own words, is a traditional Japanese poem made up of 17 syllables spread across three lines. The structure requires that the syllables are arranged in a particular format: the first line contains 5 syllables, the second line has 7, and the final line returns to 5.

I was feeling sort of poetic recently while also feeling nostalgic for Poptropica’s glory days as I pretty much always am, so I decided to manifest that energy and take the time to write a bundle of haikus. In case the poems don’t convey enough, I also included an aesthetic graphic for each one, all made by me. I hope you enjoy!

🍄 Scattering pieces 🍄
🍄 The sad loss of all magic 🍄
🍄 Heedless conquering 🍄

🌸 Elite ninja skills 🌸
🌸 Sakura and bonsai trees 🌸
🌸 Chaos in beauty 🌸

🧟 Rising from the grave 🧟
🧟 Exploring each spooky room 🧟
🧟 The party begins 🧟

🌌 A man turned cyborg 🌌
🌌 Trio of lost chevaliers 🌌
🌌 One epic battle 🌌

🍭 Gaggle of rugrats 🍭
🍭 Lots of sour surprises 🍭
🍭 Savor the sweet gifts 🍭

🎡 Cometh the funfair 🎡
🎡 Angst and dread loom over the city 🎡
🎡 Secrets are revealed 🎡

🐖 Earliest village 🐖
🐖 Help out the 8-bit pilgrims 🐖
🐖 Three missing items 🐖

⚡ Into the dream realm ⚡
⚡ Unravel threads of evil ⚡
⚡ A giant shocker ⚡

What are your thoughts? Poetry isn’t really my forte, and as far as I can recall, I’ve never written this many haiku in one go ━ so they might not be top-notch. Still, I had a blast creating them, and I may just write even more. If you’re feeling inspired, let your creativity flow and share your own Poptropica haiku in the comments! I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Until next time…

Pop on! 🍀

Who Broke the PHB’s Coffeepot? ☕️👊

Gentle Dolphin

Something’s brewing over at PHB headquarters, and it’s definitely not coffee. Someone (presumably one of the authors) broke the breakroom’s coffeepot! Who could have committed such an atrocity?! Watch and find out:

…Fishy, how could you?! 😭😭😭

In all seriousness, I hope you guys like my silly little animatic. I had a lot of fun making it!

The audio comes from a famous scene in the show Parks and Recreation. This particular clip has inspired many parodies, and it was just a matter of time before Poptropica got the “Who Broke It?” treatment.

You may have also noticed some photos in this mostly-illustrated video. The broken coffeepot is lifted straight out of the original Parks and Recreation scene, the cat-ifited Purple Paw image is an edit of Chocolate aka OMG Cat, and the wall at the end features some art of the PHB authors: the current PHB banner by Slanted Fish and a “Draw the Squad” meme by Magic Kid and QueenCookieMonster. 📷🎨

Once again, I hope you like the video (and this post, I guess). You guys are more than welcome to share your Pop creations be it videos, art, or writing! You can post them on social media, on the PHC Discord server, or even on the PHB. We love seeing everyone’s work!

Thank you for watching, and have a good day!

A MESSAGE FROM ZEUS: WELCOME TO MOUNT OLYMPUS 🌩️

Zeus

Foolish mortals, how dare you forsake Mythology Island?! How dare you choose that mismatched menace over me?!

The tournament must have been rigged from the beginning! Why else would the people favor that island? Mythology Island is home to Classical Greek architecture and powerful beings such as myself, while Astr*-Kn*ghts Isl*nd suffers from an identity crisis and is plagued by an equally confused villain. I will stand against this injustice!

From now on, the Poptropica Help Blog shall be known as Mount Olympus! I would have taken over sooner if I had known how to use “Word Press” and “Discord”. I had conquered technology during my time as Dr. Jupiter, but managing a website is on another level.

Oh, and don’t even think about calling your precious authors. I have locked them out of their accounts. It is only fair that they lose their domain as well.

Now that this wretched site is mine, I will give you Poptropican readers four simple rules to follow:

  1. 🛐 Show respect to your new leader. Write words of worship in the comment section or give yourself the “Zeus Zealot” role on the newly-conquered Mount Olympus Chat Discord server.
  2. ⚡️ Only discuss Mythology Island. Never mention other islands unless in a mocking manner, especially the false winner of the tournament.
  3. 🌄 Send photographic offerings. Like other gods, I favor certain offerings. You may send photographs of my favorite things: lightning bolts, eagles, bulls, and oak trees.
  4. 🏛️ Build temples. I encourage you lot to build temples and expand the Mythology Empire. You may construct them on gaming platforms like Poptropica Realms, Roblox, or Minecraft. If these are not available to you, you may draw schematics or sculpt them with supplies at hand.

Obey these rules, and I will spare you from my wrath. Bow before Zeus, the god of thunder!

—Zeus from Mythology Island (Classic)
