Underground Adventure Island?

11/15/2014

Before we get to Underground Adventure, remember that PoptropiCon: Spoiler Alert (the second and climatic episode) is released to all players! You can use my guide, or the newly-created video walkthrough. Trust me, it's a very fun episode!

The winner of the PoptropiCon costume contest will earn a one-of-a-kind prize. See if you can put together the ultimate villain outfit, but beware — the action at this convention is about to get real!

Since July 2013, the Daily Pop (click here for all the images) has hinted that there might be an underground island coming soon, something to do with exploring a mine hidden among caves and geysers. It might also involve finding some sort of colony or hive. Exciting! I interpreted it as the return of Legendary Swords. They tapered off in September that year, but some new information tells me I was wrong. The Creators tweeted this:

SNEAK PEEK. Palace interior scene. Island yet announced. Coming Jan 2015 pic.twitter.com/ZphEwtt8wC

And then implied that it's going to take place underground. On the current schedule, we can expect it in 2 months, after PoptropiCon's final episode. What do you think? This sounds like an epic island idea!

Legendary Swords is the new Monster Carnival

7/23/2014

Call me old-fashioned, but I was replaying Legendary Swords the other day, and as usual, I was let down by the cliffhanger (almost literally) ending. It's been saying "More adventures await you" for the past three years!

Long-time Poptropicans may remember the highly publicized release of Legendary Swords on 11/11/11. If you played it then, you'd see the screen on the left, but today's victory screen has no promise of the Arena sequel. The wording is different, too. Now it sounds like E. Vile is gone for good. But that leaves a few mysteries...

Then...

... and now.

This reminds me of Monster Carnival. Remember the trash can in Mocktropica? It had a Monster Carnival file that was crossed out... but it released soon after anyway, with sound and the big screen. A bigger screen and better framerate will definitely do the high-action Legendary Swords some justice! Well, there's something similar happening for Legendary Swords (see right). Whether or not the Arena will be back is dubious, but there are some Sneak Peeks still unaccounted for. Such as these, which I thought were part of Survival episode 1, but feature crystal and caves:

legendaryswords2.zip
File Size:	1614 kb
File Type:	zip

There are more than 40 of them, so it'd be best to just download this ZIP file that has them all for you to look at as you want to. What do you think? An awful lot of work to waste for the Creators, surely. We'll be seeing an upgraded Legendary Swords installment soon!

Survival Island EP4 & Poptropica Lego Reborn

7/17/2014

Survival Island episode 4, Cabin Fever has arrived for Members! In it, your rescuer Myron Van Buren offers a hot meal and a comfy bed, but you're not his guest — you're a prisoner. Can you escape the wilderness lodge before his next hunt begins?!

UPDATE: The full written walkthrough is now complete, click here to read! Also done is the video walkthrough, click to watch!

Non-members, all is not lost -- you can play the first 3 episodes with Poptrickia's full written/pictures/video guide, or check out some exclusive sneak peeks to be ready for when it does arrive.

Remember the Dr. Hare's Lair project on Lego CUUSOO that the Creators were hyping up for a while? Though it got the required 10,000 supporters, it was sadly turned down in favor of a Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary set.

Recently, TheFastComet on Lego Ideas has been on a roll, and has designed a Legendary Swords-themed set, complete with the boss robot at the end. He's even got an official shout-out from the Poptropica Creators, and may be working on a replica of the red rocket. Continuing in the spirit of awesome villains, he also has a Binary Bard's Citadel set collecting supporters; one word: YES. I've supported both projects and I hope you will too! Here's a link to more Poptropica Lego projects. With a sample this large, at least one has to become a reality, don't you think?

That's all for today. I've confirmed the existence of the rumored Poptropi-con Island... but that's for my next post. Until then, I'll just be hearing "Tally-ho" in a British accent repeating in my head over and over... you'd have to play the episode to understand.

Dr. Hare is coming back!

The Final Four Poptropolis Games Tribes

5/19/2012

The final four Poptropolis Games tribes have been announced. They're looking better than the first lot! I personally can't choose between one of the eight tribes, but maybe you can. Take a look at this compilation, and the my post about first four tribes, and then vote for your tribe of choice by means of the poll in the sidebar of the Poptropica Creator's Blog. Currently, the Wildfire tribe is in the lead, followed not-very-closely by Seraphim. Personally, I can't understand why. I'd much rather go with the Nightcrawlers or Nanobots. But that's how it is.

Nanobots

Pathfinders

Yellowjackets

Wildfire

I have a strong suspicion that a new installment of Legendary Swords is on the way. If you don't believe me, then look at the Sneak Peeks; any picture with a Poptropican wearing a bone mask has something to do with Legendary Swords. But while we're all waiting for that, Legendary Swords has become completely free! Anyone can now play through all levels of the game, and they can, of course, use my guide to aid them. Soon we'll all probably be able to see what happens next with Dr. E. Vile. And remember to be waiting for Poptropolis Games Island on Thursday!

A new addition to Legendary Swords?

2/26/2012

Remember the release of Legendary Swords about two months ago? And remember E. Vile telling us he'll be back? Well, it looks like it'll soon be time to meet him again, because Legendary Swords seems to be planning a second part! And what proof do I have? This:

You might notice the jungle and the Rusty Relic sword fairly easily. There's also the bone mask on the guy's head you can find in the cave. This looks like a new part to Legendary Swords! More evidence:

If it isn't part of Legendary Swords, then it's from a fairy tale themed island. We also have a members-only gear pack from Vampire's Curse Island! The garlic breath turns everyone in front of you greenish and smelly, the bat gum pops in the air and releases -- surprise! -- bats. And the Vampire Count costume is the best way to get dressed for the upcoming island.

And finally, a new Poptropica map.

Elf Costume and Candy Cane Launcher!

12/23/2011

This holiday season we're getting two new items: the Elf costume, which is free for all, and the Candy Cane snowball launcher, perfect for starting snowball fights in a multiplayer room! The Elf costume is green for boys and red for girls.

I was playing Legendary Swords today, and look what happened...

The flyyyiiinnnggg sssnnnooowwwmmmaaannn...

Can you believe it! I got to beat this entire level by pointing my mouse and moving... no jumping on platforms! Pretty fun. And Members, keep your eyes out for Save our Ship Island!

Legendary Swords releases!

11/11/2011

Legendary Swords releases today on 11/11/11! It's got some tricks for Members. Run to the Store and pick up your copy right now! Then take a visit... Whoa! You're flying through space! Suddenly you spot bright bursts of red light coming from a planet. What's up? Land there. Any why are all these animals running off??? Run right to where they came from and climb up. Duck into the cave. Then go to the Legendary Swords page for the walkthrough...

UPDATE: WALKTHROUGH COMPLETE!!! Head on over there now!

Ghost Story Island!

11/10/2011

YESSS! Finally the next island has been revealed -- GHOST STORY ISLAND!!! *smirk* I told you it had to do with ghosts and stuff... anyways, Ghost Story isn't the only thing new, believe it or not... the Creators have launched something new in the Store, called Free+. They are items that are free for all but do awesomeness for Members (ya, got my membership back!) And let's not forget Legendary Swords, coming tomorrow!!! The THIRD AND LAST Scavenger Hunt is one, and the prize is a pair of stupid glasses. None of these prizes is actually worth it, in my opinion... but once again you can visit this page to find out more. This one is near impossible to anyone without the book. Looking deeper into the future, we're also getting the new Costume Cabinet and your own home in Poptropica, coming with that (probably) the ability to make friends with others in Poptropica. Whew! Almost too much for today.

SCAVENGER HUNT CODE IS 1999190

The Spooky Gallery

The Legend is Coming... and so has Game Show Island!

10/27/2011

The legend is coming 11/11/11! Yes, Legendary Swords is releasing next month and you can use any sword from the Poptropica Store or a costume! Yay! I'm stocking up on swords as I say this. How can I afford that many swords, you ask? I got my Membership back! So I'm starting Game Show right this second as well! Yes, it released to members today! Whew, so much to tell.

Annnddd... we're finally getting our own home/main area in Poptropica that the Creator's promised so long ago! This will probably replace our Stats screen. See? photos! costumes! battle ranking! medallions! membership! Poptropican health! It's all there!

*sigh* This feels so good. This also means we won't have to crash a place like this anytime soon... or so we think...
