St. Patrick’s Day gifts – Leprechaun Follower and Costume!

HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Today is St. Patrick’s Day and Poptropica is recognizing this with a couple of free items – the Leprechaun Costume from the Store is free for today, and a new Leprechaun Follower which can only be obtained if you visit Mythology Island. Odd placement!

On the follower, it says to go the 24 Carrot Island diner, mix yellow and blue, and drink it to get green hair. It also has a button that allows you to travel to the diner.

For the costume, if you press space bar while wearing it, you’ll do a comical little Irish jig! Here’s a gif of Skinny Moon doing the dance.

It’s also notable that the post on the Creators’ Blog about these items is the first post by “Skinny Moon” (Jessica from social media). I’m excited to see future posts from her! 🙂

Update: In other news, Poptropica Realms is back! Bugs have been fixed, so the experience should be smoother. Check out our Realms Guide and get building!

Arabian Nights Island, Daily Pop, March Madness

March Madness Tie and Purplish Pictures

Greetings Hawk-tropicans! This is Giant Hawk speaking, and today, I have some more rather maddening news dreamt up for you all.

So, you all remember March Madness, right? Well, it’s still going on – but nevertheless, the Creators have decided to grace us with knowledge of the competition’s three frontrunners. The statistics are as follows:

  1. Red Dragon Island – 19.8%
  2. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island – 19.8%
  3. Wimpy Boardwalk Island – 15.1%

And believe it or not, Red Dragon and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are only one vote away from each other! So everyone get voting, because March Madness ends on March 31. Your votes mean more now than ever, and remember you can vote once in every common room!

Just a reminder, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Island is currently free for all for a limited time (until when, we don’t know) – so if you do want to get the most out of this, maybe vote for another island so we can play both for free? #RedDragonIslandFTW

In other news, have you seen this semi-recent post on the Daily Pop? It’s the only sneak peek we’ve gotten so far this month…

Super mysterious, right? For what could this sneak peak be? Could it be for an upcoming island cutscene, or perhaps an animated short/special?

The possibilities are endlessly intriguing, so I would like to hear from all of you Poptropica theorists – what do you think this is, and where do you believe it be featured further?

Update: Last but not least, check out this pic Poptropica tweeted of the Arabian Nights Island Poster – where we can see it as a painting in real life!

Until next time…

Creamy Pies and Crusty Paradise

Slanted Fish

Hey Pie-tropicans!

It’s Pi Day, 3/14, and to celebrate, you can get a free Cream Pie Toss item card just by logging in to Poptropica! If you press the spacebar, you’ll throw a creamy, scrumptious pie! Irrational yet incredible!

As you may remember from Giant Hawk’s post, this item accidentally released early over the weekend. Anyway, this item will be gone tomorrow, so cream it up while you can! 😋

Meanwhile on Poptropica’s Twitter, we get another behind-the-scenes look of the Poptropica HQ in Boston, MA! That is one crusty fried zombie who took the sunny side of spring break a little too far.

–

Also, there’s an ad for Project Mc2 on Home Island. Inside the building, there are three project ideas that you can do, a video, and an interactive game called The Perfume Experiment which awards two prizes: the Light-Up Bracelet and Invisible Ink Pen.

The Light-Up Bracelet is a hand-held item while the Invisible Ink Pen is sort of a purse worn as an accessory. Pressing spacebar brings up a paper sheet as a pen and writes an invisible message (Nerds are cool #NAC, Smart is the new cool, or I’m smart. – get over it!)

Thanks to Tall Cactus and Yujo_Jacy_the_Jumpy_Coyote for the tip and pictures! 🌵

DidIMakeThoseMemes

Yes indeed. Thank you Deadpaul. Welcome to round seventeen of PMFM (Poptropican Meme Face Mondays)!

PMFM-Round17

The lucky meme-faced Poptropicans this week are happy crab, GiantEgg, and Kaitlin! And here are the memes:

Feel free to click on the images to view them in their full glory. 😛

Also, happycrab made a wonderful meme of her Poptropican back when she submitted for one, so I figured I’d remake it with her Poptropican meme-ified.

 

Want your own meme face?

Well, it’s simple. Comment on the most recent PMFM post (just choose the one of the list here). Be sure to follow the criteria below:

  • Very crucial: Wear the outfit you want to have in the meme face on Poptropica and keep it on for at least a week.
  • As mentioned, find the most recent PMFM post (it will be at the top of this list)
  • Include your Poptropican username in a comment.
  • Include the meme face you would like on your Poptropican in your comment (a link to an image of the meme is very preferred).
  • Post your comment and wait! (PMFM is operated on a first come-first serve basis, so your meme face will come after all of the ones before are released).
  • Just a note: You do not need to re-comment on newer posts if you haven’t gotten yours yet. Once I reply to your comment mentioning “You being added to the list,” then I have seen your comment and added it to my literal list, so yours will be made after each one before is made.

This completes round seventeen of meme faces. Tune in next Monday for the next Poptropican Meme Face Mondays!

What do you think about this week’s meme faces? Comment below.

My Place in Poptropica

My Place in Poptropica: Small Fire

Slanted Fish

This is the My Place in Poptropica story of Small Fire, a Poptropican since kindergarten who now enjoys playing with glitches. See the bottom of this post for details on sending in your own MPIP!

MPIP-SmallFire

2010-2011 | Discovery

One day while I was still in kindergarten, I was playing Club Penguin on my family’s computer when my dad arrived home from work. At that time, he was a 6th grade teacher. That day, he had watched some of his students playing Poptropica in the computer lab at his school, and he thought, “Hey, my son would really like this game!” He told me about this cool website that he thought I would like: Poptropica. And like it I did!

As soon as I got on, I made an account. I didn’t know how to save my game, so I made a new account every time I played. I never beat any islands – I was only 5 at the time, so my problem solving skill were not that good. I remember wanting to play Super Power Island, but I didn’t realize that you could walk to the left to get to the prison.

Eventually, I figured out how to save an account. I created the account Abelman14, which is still my current account.

2011 – 2012 | Library & the PHB

At that time, I really hated school. I hated it so much that my parents pulled me out and started to homeschool me, but soon I was complaining that I had no friends. So, my parents brought me to a Lego club at a library. There, I saw a girl playing Poptropica on her laptop, and I naturally went over to watch. I told her about the Multiverse feature and she offered to help me beat Early Poptropica Island. That’s kind of embarrassing but it’s true.

I decided that I was hopeless at trying to beat islands without help, so I googled “Poptropica Help”. You can guess what I discovered then: the PHB! I loved the PHB, and still do. Honestly, it has helped me get through all the islands (except Timmy Failure, which I managed to beat by myself). After that I was on a roll for beating islands! I remember that Astro-Knights took me like, 2 years to beat because of the boss fight against Mordred, which is actually really hard.

2013 – 2014 | Poptropica at School

Well, I played Poptropica for the first time at school in 2013. At first, everyone was like (imagine this in a squeaky, annoying voice): “What the heck is this game?” and “This game looks stupid!”

So after that went on for like 5 minutes, I said, “If you want to know so bad, why don’t you play it for yourself?”

And so, 15 minutes later…

“Ooh ohh… why can’t I get that hair?”

“Hahahaha… I shot a cannonball into the shark’s mouth!”

After that, everyone started playing Poptropica and loved it. I introduced my friends to the PHB, because with some of the tougher islands like Steamworks, you need a little help to finish them. Eventually, though, everyone stopped playing Poptropica – including me. I stopped playing for at least a year.

Late 2015 – present | Experimenting with Glitching

I was really bored on day near the end of December, so I decided to play Poptropica again. I soon learned about the ASG (Avatar Studio Glitch), and I spent the day making awesome costumes with items I never dreamed of having!

Soon after that, the PHB released their Avatar Studio Gift, which was and is awesome! I started to submit my own ASGs to the page. I created pixelpigasg, theringmasterasg, SF#White, SF#Purple, and freememberitem1. I also contacted Red Lizard and he was a great help in teaching me some awesome glitches (not the method used for the Avatar Studio Gift, but awesome nonetheless). So that, my friends, is My Place In Poptropica.
