Dr. Hare's Revenge, Livestreams, Social Media

I say we go somewhere even funnier: Poptropica Original.

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! What do you tell a sick person on Poptropica?

“The doctor is Hare!”

Ha, ha…. aaand we’re just getting started. With a new video, Dave is about to fill you in on some more of “The Funniest Jokes in Poptropica Worlds”:

And the “funniest jokes” in Poptropica Worlds are…

  1. Scuttlebutt’s sick burn: calling you a “crusty bilge waffle”
  2. Beatrice’s ruthless dig on Hazel’s digs, when she says “I say we go somewhere even more depressing: your house.” (And it looks like Dave is referring to Beatrice with the conventional pronunciation now.)
  3. When Dr. Winslow tells you you’ll be safe underground: “It hasn’t exploded in, what, two weeks?”
  4. When King Mondo gets real with you: “Where else am I going to go?”
  5. When the gas station attendant tells you he doesn’t even have any gas.
  6. When you turn on the faucet to find Mr. Whiskers.
  7. The fact that anyone would order “carrot ice cream.”

Did any of these lines get you dying of laughter like Daveโ€”or at least crack a smile?

Despite the humor, it seems not every Poptropican is amused enough by Poptropica’s latest videos. A commenter on the above video, SuperTalkCam (also known as TallMeloniscool), wrote this as part of a longer comment: “You did not list the funniest jokes, you listed all of the jokes.”

The comment raises some fair points: the Poptropica Creators have been heavily promoting Poptropica Worlds since its release in May, yet there is much more content on Poptropica Original that isn’t getting the same love from the Creators in their YouTube content. The Creators have only been making these list videos recently, and so far, all the attention has gone to Pop Worlds.

Although we all want to see Worlds succeed, many of us are also longtime fans of the original game, and even those of us who are newer players can see that there is more to appreciate on Poptropica Original. Wouldn’t it be great to hear about our old favorites in Dave’s video lists? Wouldn’t it be a lot more exciting to see more than two islands being featured in all these new videos? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Also on YouTube, Stephanie has returned with another livestream! In this week’s episode (#10), she mentions that last week’s votes were miscounted, so she’ll actually be playing Dr. Hare’s Revenge in this video. (It’sย more of a mini-game, though she refers to it as an island.) Catch the archived video below:

After spinning the daily wheel and changing up her outfit a bit, Stephanie heads over to Dr. Hare’s Revenge, where she speaks Carotenoid’s lines in a high-pitched voice, and then she’s off to nab some carrots! She plays through Zone 1, makes it through about half of Zone 2, and eats oatmeal cookies.

Have you played through all 40 levels of Dr. Hare’s Revenge yet? You’ll get a cool prize at the end! Be sure to check out our handy PHB guideย for some tips.

Stay tuned for more Poptropica Worlds livestreams, which air on Poptropica’s YouTube every Friday afternoon (Eastern time).

Last but not least, we hope you had a great Thanksgivingโ€”or if you don’t celebrate, then at least a decent Thursday night dinner. The 3 new food followersโ€”Cran Barry, Punkie Pie, and Sweet Tatoโ€”are still waiting to be found on Poptropica Original, and according to the Creators, they’ll be gone by Mondayโ€”just like Thanksgiving leftovers.

Captain Crawfish even put out a post stuffed with sentiment to thank Poptropica players, both longtime fans and new ones. Poptropica Creators, we’re ever grateful for you too!

Speaking of giving thanks, THANK YOU to all of you loyal PHB readers! Thanks to all of you, especially those of you who come here often, we’ve reached 30 million hits here on the Poptropica Help Blog! That’s a pretty huge milestone, and you helped us get there.

We’re grateful that we get to reach such a wide audience of Poptropica fans, and we hope to keep at it for more days to come. Thanks for being part of our communityโ€”for checking back on our site to see what’s new, sharing your thoughts in the comments to encourage change in the game, creating amazing artwork to express what makes this game great, and so much more.

Thanksgiving hunt, Coco stunt, & more!

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans! Slanted Fish here with the latest scoop of mashed potatoes what’s popping on Poptropica.

First, with the American Thanksgiving holiday coming up, the Poptropica Creators have let loose a few new feast-themed followers on Poptropica Original! Can you find all three of these foodie critters?

Skip this paragraph and the images below if you don’t want any spoilers: you can find Sweet Tato on top of the Arcade on Home Island, Cran Barry on the water tower on Early Poptropica, and Punkie Pieย atop the Photo Gallery on Wimpy Wonderland.

Hurryโ€”they’re only sticking around until the end of the holiday (which this means they’ll be gone by next Friday). Catch ’em while you can!

Also on Poptropica Original, there’s an ad game for Coco, the Pixar animated movie that releases this Thanksgiving! Talk to the skeleton man to get started, and you’ll be sent off running through the whimsical streets of the world of Coco, jumping over obstaclesย in order to deliver the leg of a skeleton without letting Dante the dog grab at you.

Once you make it to the end, you’ll be rewarded with a Dante Follower and Miguel Music Power. The Dante Follower is what its name suggests, and the Miguel Music Power equips you with Miguel’s guitar. When space bar is pressed, an audible guitar strum can be heard, and you’ll raise up some orange specks that float briefly.

Over on Poptropica’s YouTube channel, there’s a new video from Dave, who tells us about the “CREEPIEST Moments in Poptropica Worlds!” Check out his list:

  1. The tremor you feel when you first visit Crisis Caverns.
  2. The mysterious Dr. Crispin Vincent you keep hearing about.
  3. The mysterious mushroom cavern and its mole people inhabitants.
  4. Pretty much everything about 24 Carrot Island.

What would you add to this list? Do you think it compares to our list of Scariest Poptropica Moments for Poptropica Original? Sound off in the comments!

Last but not least, Stephanie has returned with another one of her weekly livestreams! Livestream #9, which aired November 17 at around 3:45 p.m. EST, is the fourth episode in her exploration of 24 Carrot Island (see the previous three here). Check it out:

In this episode, Stephanie continues venturing through the vents and eventually makes her way to the computer control, where she finally foils Dr. Hare’s plans and completes the quest. Her snack of choice is fitting for the video: carrots!

Towards the end, she asked viewers where she should go next: Crisis Caverns or Dr. Hare’s Revenge. Crisis Caverns won the live vote, so that’s where she’ll be exploring in next Friday’s episodeโ€”stay tuned!

From Stephanie and all of us here at the PHB, happy Thanksgiving! ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿฆƒ๐Ÿ

24 Carrot Island, Livestreams, Social Media

Stephanie steps into 24 Carrot Island

Slanted Fish

Hey Poptropicans!

It’s been a while since we heard about Stephanie’s livestreams, with no word about it from the Pop Creators on social media, but she’s still been going at it! Lately, she’s been exploring 24 Carrot Islandโ€”and we’re three episodes in. Check ’em out:

Livestream #6 aired October 28. In this episode, Stephanie hops into 24 Carrot Island for the first time, ending it just as she gets to the humble home on the carrot farm.

Livestream #7 aired on November 3.ย In this episode, Stephanie picks up where she left off, having found Whiskers and ending as she’s about to cut the wires in the factory.

Livestream #8 aired on November 10.ย In this episode, we’re first treated to an awkward two minutes of silence before it begins, and then Stephanie heads back to the freezer room where she was last, and continues the journey exploring the factory, vents and all.

As of right now, Stephanie is still on the search for all the missing kids in the factory! If you haven’t had the chance to finish the Poptropica Worlds version of 24 Carrot yet, be sure to check out our 24 Carrot Island Guide for Worlds.

While the exact minute each livestream starts seems to vary, they generally begin sometime in the afternoon each Friday (in the EST time zone) and go for about a half hour. If you manage to catch the stream while it’s live on the Pop Creators’ YouTube, you can even join in on the livestream chat that Stephanie reads from time to time as she streams!

Anyway, enjoy the archived livestream videos, with all its international candy! Stay tuned for new episodes every Friday, and stay popping, Poptropicans.

5 Unsolved Mysteries in Worlds from Detective Dave

Silver Wolf

Hiya, Silver Wolf here with information on another YouTube video by Poptropica!

The last video was about “6 Cool Side Characters” in Poptropica Worlds, and now we have another one about “5 UNSOLVED Mysteries.” The videos were uploaded only 4 days apart, so appears like these lists could become a regular series on the channel. Here’s the new video:

What are these ‘mysteries,’ you may ask? Well, they are…

  • The origin of coinsย from the Wheel of Loot
  • The Bumย from 24 Carrot and his possible motives
  • Maynardย and how long he has been staying in the barn on 24 Carrot, along with where he goes when he finally leaves
  • The kid complaining about “Old Reliable”ย and why he only complains about it and how long he’s been there
  • Stanley from Crisis Cavernsย and how he can still be giving cave tours

The narrator, who we recently learned is named Dave, theorizes the answers to these questions, which are mainly silly possibilities, like how Bum could be sinister and working for Dr. Hare and how the kid could have been waiting there next to Old Reliable for days.

It seems like the video has brought up some varying opinions. Napstachill, one of the commenters, believes the reaching makes the video like a joke and there isn’t enough content to make a serious one yet, unlike Poptropica Original. Additionally, Brave Tomato has suggested that the only real mystery so far is what happened to Dr. Crispin Vincent from Crisis Caverns.

On the other hand, people are already suggesting ideas in the comments, like your Poptropican’s origins/parents and real-life unsolved mysteries. Personally, I was hoping for plot-driven island mysteries similar to BT rather than random theories. What do you think? Leave yourย comment below!

My Place in Poptropica

My Place in Poptropica: Tough Sky

Slanted Fish

This is theย Myย Place in Poptropicaย story of Tough Sky, who got his first exposure to people from all over the world from new friends on Poptropica.ย See below for how to send in your MPIP!

2009โ€“2010 | Getting Into It

I started playing Poptropica when I was at my grandparent’s house one day, where a friend of mine showed me a website called Funbrain. It was really interesting at first, since it had really simple games, but then I found Poptropica.

Poptropica was, at the time, one of the best games that I could ever play. I created some avatars, but I didn’t really know how to play the game, since I thought that the items present in an island were also used for other islands. However, when I started to do the rest of the islands, I began to get a clearer idea of how to play. The first island I ever completed was Reality TV Island.

2011โ€“2014 |ย All Around the World

In the next few years, I did all the islandsโ€”and then I wasn’t sure what to do next. I waited a while, and in 2012, they added the friends feature, so then I was able to make friends in the common rooms. I was excited that I could finally meet people from all around the world and be open to the world.

I live in Europe, and up until then I didn’t have much exposure to the world outside of my country. But with this new possibility on Poptropica, I was able to challenge many people from the United States and Asia in head-to-head game battles. My battle rank got pretty high after a while.

I also discovered the Poptropica Help Blog through the internet. From this site I foundย some cheats for the game and read about the news and adventures on the blog. I also tried to do the islands with the World Champion rank maps when those came out, and it was really cool to see all the countries where Poptropica players come from.

2015โ€“2017 | The Best I Can Be

Eventually, I created an avatar for main use instead of having a bunch, and it’s the one I still use today. My avatar is Tough Sky, and I’ve solved all the islands except for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (which is currently membership-locked) and the old Hub (Home) Island quest (which no longer exists). I did all the latest islands like Mission Atlantis, Survival, and my favorite, PoptropiCon.

Every time a new island came out, I would try to rank first place in my home country on the World Champion player maps. I’d participate in everything that Poptropica released. I played all the mini games you could get in the store.

I’ve also been playing Poptropica Worlds. In Poptropica Worlds, I’ve done Crisis Caverns, 24 Carrot, and Dr. Hare’s Revenge. I had a lot of fun in the latter, completing the four zones and attaining high scores. I also bought new outfits in the store and decorations for my dream house.

I think Poptropica Worlds should add new islands for us to do, bring back the World Champion rank maps for each island, allow us to create a personal profile for each avatar, and put a common room on every island.

But the most important thing I wish they’d do is cancel the membership in Poptropica Original, since that game is overโ€”well, no longer being updatedโ€”so they may as well let us have free reign. And on Worlds, they should be less limiting to players without membership: I have too many decorations for too little space in my dream house, and I wish I didn’t have to get membership just to have more space.

Anyway, I hope that there will be new features in Poptropica Worlds. As a final note, I want everybody to know that there are two islands on Poptropica Original with World Champion rank maps that aren’t listed under “New Features” on Poptropica’s site, and they areย Reality TV and Early Poptropica. Well, thanks for reading my story!

Hope you enjoyed this โ€œMy Place in Poptropicaโ€ story!
