Fan Art Features, Goofball Island, Sneak Peeks

Look out for Goofy Goobers 🤪🔍

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, get ready for gaggle of goofing off with a sneak peek for Goofball Island, Halloween cosplays, and more. Let’s pop right in!

The upcoming Goofball Island, the second of three winners in last year’s Dream Island Contest, is “coming to Poptropica very soon and will be available to all players,” according to a new Creators’ Blog post. For a teaser, they even dropped this sneak peek full of contrasts:

As we know from earlier, the island is all about how an evil scientist turns a town full of fun and laughter into one purged of its color and cheerful character. We definitely get a glimpse of that in this new pic showing both a black-and-white side with a detective trying to figure things out, while on the other end it’s all bright colors, with an eccentric mayor-like character who appears to be officiating a competition about “Cats” (or perhaps he has just won 5th place, as his ribbon shows). Neither of them appear to be the evil Dr. Blandston, but what are your impressions on who these people might be?

Curious for more Goofball Island greatness? Check out the PHB’s exclusive interview with its designer, Thirsty Flame, for an inside look at this whimsical world! Plus, check out previous sneak peeks of the island here.

Wacky wonders aren’t just on islands yet to be discovered, but happening all the time on social media! The Pop Creators recently featured a few on their Instagram story, including both doodles and Halloween cosplays of iconic villains Dr. Hare and Binary Bard from a duo of grown-up friends. Cute! 🐰🃏

While the recently released first episode of Mission Atlantis is currently only available to members, all are able to watch the Haxe adventure in this new playthrough video from Poptropica. Sea for yourself!

That wraps up this update. Stay tuned for more news on Goofball Island as they come, plot your entries for this month’s costume contest and Community Creations, and pop on, Poptropicans!

TikTok on the clock and the content don’t stop 🕗🥸✨

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, tune in for costume calls, TikTok trends, future fun, Instagram imaginations, and mustachioed men. Let’s pop right in!

First up, November’s costume design contest is now taking entries! Share your submissions to Poptropica before November 19 at 8 pm EST, and it might be chosen for the Baron’s return in December.

That’s right, after her long stay all throughout Red October, she’s off to the skies again and, according to the Creators’ Blog, “taking some time away from Poptropica to spend some quality time with her friends and family.” Wait, she can leave Poptropica? And she and Ack aren’t lone wanderers? Wonder if we’ll get to meet the fam?

Anyway, for all the details of the contest, check out the Creators’ Blog!

Next up, Poptropica’s been popping off with the TikToks! The release of Mission Atlantis on Haxe came with a soundbite from The Office, and more recently, here’s one with a noseless human face juxtaposed on a Poptropican zipping through 24 Carrot (a cheat of a speedrun, though):

24 Carrot Island summed up in 6 seconds 🤷‍♀️ #poptropica #LevisMusicProject #gamingontiktok #TheHarderTheyFall #foryou #greenscreen

♬ what do we do about that – Sirk

Not only that, but the Creators’ Blog featured several TikToks from Poptropica fans. (You can catch the first round over here.) There’s something for everyone: a cosplay of Octavian for the Occy cult, getting voted off Reality TV for the rage players, randomized Popsonas with origin stories for the creatives, Percy Jackson fans vs Mythology Island players for the truly knowledged, and scenes from various islands for the nostalgic ones. Watch them all on the Creators’ Blog!

Poptropica’s post of TikTok features also included some news on upcoming releases.

While Mission Atlantis and a handful of other old islands are back on Haxe, only their first episodes are available at the moment. However, we now have assurance that several of them will be getting their next episodes! As for who, what, and when… that remains to be seen.

Survival Island is one of the episodic islands that only has its first episode up on Haxe. Episodes came out for members first, then later released for all.

We also get a reminder that Goofball Island is currently in the works, though no new info is offered. But in case you missed it from last month, the PHB was able to get an inside scoop on this upcoming island from the fan designer himself, Thirsty Flame! Catch our Inside look at Dream Island winner: Goofball Island.

Also, here’s the latest batch of Poptropica’s Instagram stories. In addition to featuring their own TikTok, they also shared some fun fan art, including Smart Spinner’s “how not to wear a mask” (with nose!).

Also earlier this week on the Pop Creators’ Blog, we have a new guest blogger who, despite his name and writing style, refers to himself as “your old man.” Young Rider shares tons of pics from his “penthouse clubhouse,” as well as erratic doodles and even a Bitmoji.

After introducing us to his many pet followers, Rider gets to theorizing what might’ve happened to El Mustachio Grande since his arrest on Wild West Island way back in 2011. Ten years later, Rider suspects the hairy bandit might be vowing for revenge, eating a sad turducken, hijacking a flight to Home Island, or even, maybe, living as a kind scientist on Super Villain Island. What do you think?

That wraps up this post! Be sure to catch the waves below for news of the re-released Mission Atlantis as well as all the Atlantis-themed goods in the store. Sea you later, Poptropicans!

Mission Atlantis Island, New Islands

Mission for members at Atlantis 🌊🐙

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, new Pop drop: Mission Atlantis Island is now out for members on Haxe! Just the first episode, though.

Head on over to the map to play Episode 1: Into the Deep (or click “restart” if you’ve played it before). It’s just like the classic island first released in 2014: your mission to document rare sea creatures turns into something much bigger with a grand discovery under the sea! 🌊🏙

We could have had it all, rolling in the deep…

Still no word yet on when this Atlantic adventure on Haxe will be available to all, but remember, you can also play all three episodes over on the Poptropica app, which, by the way, is free.

If you don’t have the deep end quite figured out, hang onto our Mission Atlantis Island Guide and kick it with us at the shallow end of the pool!

Water you waiting for? (A membership, perhaps? Fair enough…)

While only members get to play on Haxe to the max, non-members and members alike can still enjoy tons of aquatic attire over at Adventure Outfitters. Just keep swimming — perhaps your time will come!

Pop-over: Ghost Rider

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans, this is a guest post by Giant Dragon. Enjoy!

Hello Poptropicans, and happy belated Halloween!

Did you enjoy my “Ghost Rider” costume in the PHB’s Halloween Costume Contest? It won an honorable mention! For this post, I’m going to share how you can put this outfit together. Let us “pop” into it.

  • “Ghost Rider” by Giant Dragon
  • Ghost Rider (pic: EpicGames)

For those who don’t know, the Ghost Rider is a Marvel comic book superhero also adapted into movies. Wikipedia’s description of the character is “a human who can transform into a skeletal superhuman wreathed in ethereal flame and given supernatural powers.”

Now, putting the costume together is as easy as nibbling cheese! Here are the items you will need (the numbers are their codes in Card Collector, a glitching tool for getting all sorts of stuff):

  • Rock Star outfit (3006)
  • Torch Power (3050)
  • Skeleton Power or any outfit or ASG with a skull on it (3006)
  • Rumplestiltskin outfit (if you don’t have the outfit, since it’s members-only, use the ASG Machine)

Before you start, remove any handheld item or anything else (including backpack and hair wigs). This is how you’ll assemble the outfit:

  1. Use the Skeleton Power and remove the ribs from it.
  2. Put on the Rumplestiltskin shirt.
  3. Activate Torch Power!
  • Step 1
  • Step 2
  • Step 3

Add whatever pants you like, and there you go. Doesn’t it look completely spooky?

Keep your eyes popped for my future posts! Dragon out.

Mission Atlantis Island, Store

Atlantis in Seas-on at Adventure Outfitters 🌊

Slanted Fish

Happy November, Poptropicans! Dive in for the latest store update, member gifts, and island hype. We’re going under the sea!

Adventure Outfitters is ready for the upcoming return of Mission Atlantis, with the store importing plenty of fresh ‘fits from the deep sea. All players can enjoy the Scuba Adventure (250 credits), Puffer Fish (200), and over on the statuette by Amelia, the Cuttlefish Head Rider (100). On the two sides of the shop floor, we also have the Fish Out of Water and Dolphin followers (100 each). 🤿🐠🐡

Plus, take your clubhouse under the sea with new Jellyfish, Grey Shark, and Clownfish decorations (100 each). And for the sweater weather, try on the Snug Vibes and Pumpkin Smash costumes (250 each)! 🍂🧣

It’s great to see so many items for non-members! Still, the more privileged among us need not be as salty as seawater. A new set of monthly member gifts are here, with a Paper Prowler animal mask, Purr Paper Pal follower, and Pup Paper Pal follower! 🎁🐶

The hype for Mission Atlantis isn’t just coming from Amelia — it’s also on Poptropica’s social media. On Twitter and Instagram, they announced that this classic island would be coming to Haxe “any day now.” By the sound of it, that could mean sometime this week!

That’s all for now! Enjoy the Atlantis artifacts from Amelia’s store, and if you’re a member, look forward to the next mission coming up on Haxe.

Sea you in the next one!
