Smashing Success

Slanted Fish

Hey PHB readers! Just wanted to thank all of you for continuing to come to the Poptropica Help Blog, as we have just hit 4.8 million pageviews (and hopefully reach 5 million by summer)!

Last night’s PHB Author Night [2] was a smashing success, and although I was not available, those in attendance can probably attest to having a great time chatting with PHB authors and other fellow readers! If you would like to be a part of a Poptropica chat community, the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat) is a friendly place and an affiliate of ours. The next Author Night will be here before we know it, and hopefully continues to become a successful event!

See the champion, my friend.

The Poptropica Creators have a new post on their blog about the Daily Pop game leaderboards for the ‘brick-obliterating’ “Smashing.” Captain Crawfish admits he’s not doing quite as well the current top champion, Grumpy Lightning with his score of 1,199,000. Nice job!

The PHB probably won’t be posting this kind of post (Daily Pop game scores) much, since it isn’t really considered news that most people would prefer to see, but if you’re interested: it’s a reminder that scores reset at the beginning of the month, so you’d better get “smashing” if you want to beat that high score!

[Update] Game for another SMASH HIT? The Flamin’ Skulls Poptropica band is out with a new song – “Drawn This Way,” a parody of Lady Gaga’s new hit ‘Born This Way,’ written by FS fan Scootdaloop188! And this one’s about sketchydoodley (okay that’s not a word xD) Wimpy Wonderland!

Bonus Items, Wimpy Wonderland Island

Paper Boy Delivers Island Trailer

You come to check for the latest Poptropica news and you find…

A trailer video for Wimpy Wonderland!

A little late, considering the island was released to everyone over a week ago (and even sooner for the members), but it’s still a pretty nice preview for those who have yet to start their adventure in finding Manny. Remember, if you need some help, we have a written walkthrough here, a map here, and a video walkthrough here.

//This message was brought to you by the local paper boy of Poptropica.//

Remember, members who log in any time during the early access period for Wimpy Wonderland will get a special Paper Boy/Girl costume for FREE to keep forever, even after their membership ends!

Store, Wild West Island

Reach for the skies!

Well, it’s definitely a more creative title than “Hands up!” because YOU could be the next marshal with the new Wild West-themed costumes in the Poptropica Store!


Or if you’re a rebel, there are costumes for those against the law too. Mind you, they’re all a tad bit more expensive than the rest: the new getups are 100 credits each.

  • Girls: Peacemaker (top left) and Outlaw (top right)
  • Boys: Lawman (bottom left) and Outlaw (bottom right)

So, get in on the gun-shooting action and get yourself one of these spiffy new suits!

Walkthroughs for wimps

Slanted Fish

Okay, so you’re stuck on Poptropica’s Wimpy Wonderland, which just came out for non-members this Thursday (thank you 20th Century Fox!). Call yourself a wimp for trying to look up the cheats to this island quest, but that’s completely okay with us. In fact, we’ve got just what you need.

  • Wimpy Wonderland resources are listed under our Island Help page
  • A written walkthrough by Fearless Cheetah is available if you click here
  • A video walkthrough by YouTuber Graser10 is available via this playlist on Poptropica Help Videos
  • A map of the island can help you find where you are and need to be!
  • We have a discussion page for Wimpy Wonderland if you have more specific questions or would like to help answer others!
I thought snowmen were supposed to have charcoal for eyes.

So just remember, it’s okay to look up a few things if you need to. You’ll find much more joy in being able to handle the game yourself, but if you’re not sure at some parts, you’re always welcome to use our resources. Have fun walking in the snow of Wimpy Wonderland, and best of luck with finding the missing Manny!
