Hey everyone! As you may know, Galactic Hot Dogs Island was supposed to be released to members yesterday (Thursday, January 29th) but Poptropica said they had a browser problem and pushed the release to Friday, January 30th instead. Anyway, it’s out for members now! There is a demo for non-members as well.
In the meantime, check out our Behind the Scenes Overview of Galactic Hot Dogs Island, and look forward to a review of GHD coming soon. 🙂 It’s the first full island (meaning no episodes) since about a full year ago, so enjoy!
Hey everyone, and welcome back to our BTS Overview & Theory series! This time, we’ll be covering Galactic Hot Dogs Island, written by myself (Spotted Dragon), Samwow5, and HPuterpop. Be sure to check out the last BTS post, which was for Arabian Nights, Episode 2: Lair of Thieves.
WARNING: SPOILERS BELOW (but that’s what you want, isn’t it?)
Overview of evidence
Since there have been so many Daily Pop sneak peeks for GHD Island, we won’t list them all here, but we have listed some below. Be sure to check out our Daily Pop Sneak Peek Archive page to see them all! Remember to click on the images to enlarge them.
In Between: We can fill this with our imaginations.
Depressed: It’s another one of those hot button issues.
Mega: Coming soon to a desktop near you.
Food Stand: Instead of walk and talk, walk and chomp.
Intergalactic: Hot dog, this is going to be an exciting adventure!
Hello: Is it me you’re looking for?
Time to Crate: Thank Old Man Murray for the measurement.
Nest Egg: We were hoping for an empty nest.
Run to the Border: You haven’t lived until you’ve had a street taco.
Magic Mushrooms: These things will bounce you super high.
Between Two Ferns: Where’s the other one?
Bounce Bounce: Dodge an asteroid or you’ll be destroyed.
Spiderland: Good morning captain.
Get Animated: Things are about to get expressionistic.
Mushroom Kingdom: Major fungal infection.
Spore: Life finds a way.
Belt It Out: Someone get Kuiper on the line.
Chair Force: That’s great, kid! Don’t get cocky.
Pilot Seat: Time for your command performance.
Food Court: You’ve got a date with deliciousness.
Fly My Pretties: Pry open the third eye and fly.
Deserted: Monument valley, this isn’t.
Ghost Ship: We’re triangulating its position.
Eggscellent: You’re a shell of your former self.
Let’s start out with items. Below are all the items that will be used in the quest, or at least all that we could find. They include an egg, fuel cell, fruit, gelatin salad, giant spoon, guano, map-o-sphere, the island medal, and a seed pod. What most of these items will be used for, we aren’t entirely sure, but we might be able to piece everything together later on in the post. Pretty cool items, huh? Now let’s focus on scenes and dialog. Below we have included all the important scene designs for the island.
Again, pretty cool, huh? The designs are a perfect mix of Poptropica and Galactic Hot Dogs. 🙂 We have the layout of the island down, but what about its storyline? Below we have put together all the important pieces of dialog and other text. Again, click to enlarge.
Judging by the text, we seem to start the island off in the Space Port, or at least start to meet the characters there. It also looks like we will help Cosmoe in a food truck contest among other things. We also found a major piece of music that will be used throughout the adventure. Click here to hear it! Before we wrap things up, since this island is based off something that is not Poptropica-related (Galactic Hot Dogs), there is of course going to be some sort of ad building for the franchise, like on Red Dragon Island (Magic Tree House), or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Those islands each have a building to promote the books. Below is an idea of what the GHD Store should have… in store for us.
Other than getting a glimpse at the GHD series, it seems like we will be able to customize the characters’ costumes too, since there will be mannequins inside.
Final Theory
In Galactic Hot Dogs Island, we will meet Cosmoe and Humphree and try to help them win the food truck contest. Along the way, we’ll run into trouble and meet Princess Dagger. We will most likely have to go around the island trying to help them perfect their Mega Dog and perhaps somehow bring peace to the galaxy. In our travels aboard the Neon Wiener spaceship, we’ll explore exotic planets, battle Jack-robots, and maybe even get to enjoy a hot dog. Maybe.
Remember, Galactic Hot Dogs Island is coming out Thursday, January 29 for members! It releases to everyone three weeks later, on February 19. To infinity and beyond!
Hey Poptropicans! Poptropica Realms has been out for a while now, and the Creators have even posted a few of their favorites – but if you want to learn more about what your magical hammer can do, how to level up, and more, check out the PHB’s Realms Guide!
Ok, shameless guide promotion aside…
Despite the abandonment of the Daily Pop, there have been a lot of juicy sneak peeks over on Twitter this week. In addition to the Omegon poster Blake posted, they’ve also shared a couple of comic pages for the upcoming PoptropiCon finale – Ep. 3: Reign of Omegon.
On the first page, Elf Archer attacks the villain Omegon’s charged crystal, bringing him down from the sky. The second page introduces Alphaon, a character created with the combined powers of the Mighty Action Force and possibly the kryptonite of Omegon.
Also, we finally have some release dates for P-Con! Ep. 3: Reign of Omegon comes out February 5th for members, and Feb 26th (3 weeks later) for all. GHD Island comes out this Thursday for members!
Speaking of GHD Island, the Creators also tweeted this behind-the-scenes early sketch of a flying creature we’ll be encountering, with ‘baby’ and ‘proud mama’ poses added in for good measure. Plus, stay tuned for the PHB’s BTS Overview & Theory post for Galactic Hot Dogs Island, coming very soon!
Last but not least, Poptropica tweeted this cute little Popstorm sketch (#12) with the caption “Birds of a feather….” Aw, aren’t they pretty. 😀
That’s all for now, but be sure to catch up on the posts below for the latest Poptropica news! Stay awesome, Poptropicans. 😉
What’s popping, Poptropicans? Blake here, with another – well, a few pieces of Poptropica news. First up is the new ad on Super Power Island, based on The Spongebob Movie: Sponge out of Water!You could say that this is a pointless cash grab that is clearly not going to be any better than the one released in 2005. All rants aside, though, I’d like to personally thank Prickly Monsterfor the ad alert.
Now, am I just deranged, or is it SO WEIRD seeing a Nickelodeon ad of any sort on Poptropica? Like really, seeing the words “Krabby Patty” in Poptropica font just killed me with laughter for some reason. Anyway, Sandy, or.. *grabs Spongebob Lingo Dictionary* ..The Rodent.. okay.. will tell you that Burger Beard has stolen the Krabby Patty formula. You’re then taken to the ad game’s start screen, instructing you to run, jump over the cannonballs, and stay behind the pirate ship.
Now, don’t get upset if you don’t beat it on the first try. I didn’t, and I had Spongebob and Patrick behind me laughing at my every failure. Once you get through the cannonball onslaught, you’ll be awarded with Ice Cream Rain and a Bubble Hat. Really? No square pants? I was really hoping for some square pants here… Anyway, check out the above pics for what they look like!
Next up, after visiting Spongebob and the gang, it’s time to head onto the Realms side of Poptropica! The Creators are doing what they did with Lands by showcasing people’s works! First up in their new “Remarkable Realms”blog series is this recreation of the Taj Mahal by Bronze Singer:
That’s the one they posted on the official blog, but over on Twitter, they’ve featured several more awesome Realms. One is clearly from a Golden Fang, but the others are not credited.
And now, to wrap it up, are you ready for the REIGN OF OMEGON?That’s right, the Creators tweeted a sneak peek of what appears to be the printable poster for PoptropiCon: Episode 3 (with a tag to the Twitter handle of our very own Brave Tomato!). Stare at the awesomeness of Omegon, and worship in the “Avengers: Age Of Ultron” name pun that even I wouldn’t have thought of…
Anyway, that’s all for now! Stay popping, Poptropica- *is taken down by Henchbots* Wait, what are you guys doing? I’m an author! I’LL SUE!
Hey guys! A lot of strange things have been going on in Poptropica lately.
First of all, there is a new ad popping up called Strange Magic! The ad can be found on islands such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on Main Street or in between places. All you have to do to earn your prize is watch its movie trailer. Girls get Fairy Wings and boys get a Staff and Imp costume.
If space bar is pressed while wearing the wings or staff, a short scene will play out where an imp will appear on screen and your Poptropican will fly.
Speaking of “strange”, if you’ve checked out the Daily Pops recently, you may have noticed that sneak peeks haven’t been posted on their usual schedule. In fact, there haven’t been any new sneak peeks at all this week, and a couple of days in the past couple of weeks have been skipped as well.
There have only been 9 sneak peeks in January when there should’ve been 17 at this point (one for every weekday). Here they are below:
Head Games: What’s in the box?
Iconic: More quizzes are about to pop.
Platform Neutral: Lots of interesting things go on in the shadows.
Banner Day: Let your freak flag fly.
Waxing: And working on some night moves.
Depressed: It’s another one of those hot button issues.
Way Back Week: Binary Bard’s dreams come to life on Super Villain Island.
Way Back Week: The robot revolution begins on Game Show Island.
Goats Beware: One more throwback. We’re back for real tomorrow.
The most recent image was Head Games: What’s in the box? and was uploaded on January 16. It seems to be for Galactic Hot Dogs Island, but that’s not the point. 😛
Even though the Daily Pop schedule has been sporadic this month, the PHB has all of the images that have been uploaded ready for you to view on our Daily Pop Sneak Peek Archive. 😉
Lots of stuff has been added to HP’s Realms post below, including some strange hats relating to biomes that can be found in Realms, its theme music, and a video tour from HP himself. 🙂
Pretty cool items, huh? Now let’s focus on scenes and dialog. Below we have included all the important scene designs for the island.
