Wild West Island

Wild West Island is the 17th island in Poptropica. It was released to free players on 11 March 2011. In the video where Jeff Kinney tells us the release of Cryptids, in the background can be seen a poster of this island. See Daily pop on Poptropica to see sneak peeks.

Sneak Peek
In a sneak peak, you can play a game where you ride a horse and have to lasso three cattle.

Walkthrough
First, go to Wild West Island. When you land you'll see a girl riding a horse (you'll get to ride a horse too!). Talk to her and she'll tell you that there is a message to be delivered to Marshal Flint Taylor. We'll get back to her later. Go all the way to the right and talk to the guy with the angry horse (his name's Elmer) next to him. He'll say that the horse is untamable, and you ask to try and tame him.

In the game, you have to try and keep on the horse without him bucking you (throwing you off). This is relatively easy. Just move the mouse back and forth and try to keep near to the moving white cursor. Once that's done the horse magically becomes tame and you can ride him.(You can dismount at any time, a bit like the machine in Steamworks Island) He will also give you a horse whistle to call your horse.

Go back to the Pony Express Girl and she'll give you her message. Leave town on either side of the town.

Ride your horse(open the map on the top right-hand corner) to the town on the right, Diamond Plains. (It's like the jeep in Cryptids Island) Tip: Your horse can jump over fences and sand dunes, go through water and ride on railway tracks, but it can't go through the reddish-brown rocks.

In Diamond Plains, go to the Marshall's Office near the left. The man inside may look like the Marshall in the picture above the door, but he's actually just an assistant. He tells you to check the saloon. Go outside and go to another map (What a big town!) on the right to find the saloon.

Inside the saloon, there are two men sitting at a table. Take note of the one that's asleep. Ask the woman about the Marshall. She'll say that she can't tell you. Then go to the right of the saloon where the two men are spitting into a bucket. Ask them about the Marshall. They'll tell you that they know where he is, and will tell you if you can beat them at spitting gum.

This game will need you to try several times, but here's a strategy to use. Aim your arrow high up (but not vertically up) and raise the meter to about half. There is a trail of spit (gross!) that can help serve as an indicator.

After you win the game, the man will tell you where the Marshall is. It's the sleeping guy! Talk to him and read out the message. The Marshall will say he can't help, but gives you his badge. Put it on and go back to the main Street. There is a camera man who will take your picture. Then go to the Office. The Deptudy gives you the pea-shooter. Then the El Mastashio gang comes in, and he tells you to go catch them. 2 of the girls you see are from Dos Cactos. Go there, and win at SLAP-O-JACK.

A man will tell you he has no money, but give you a map. he says that there's gold hidden there.Next,go to the Rock Ruige and when you come(in the left)you will see a kid and many cows around he.Then he tell to you, he lost one cow and you must help him.He give to you the lasso and then you must go out to the map.You just go to the ranch(in map you can saw it)and,(maybe)on the way to the ranch you will saw the cow.When you saw the cow.it starting runing.Catch it by lasso(spacebar) and bring to the ranch.Then, meet thet kid and talk to he. He gonna give to you old saddle(he also will ask you for help one more time,but you must do that,only if you want to get a rattlesnake wranger)(all close in foto in up exsept for googles).Then go again to the Dusty Gulch and there hawe one building,like miultiplayer room.There talk to the owner and change old saddle to the gold pan.

Then get to the that place on the map,and click to the river.after getting the gold nugget,went to the rock ruige there will have one guy,with cool gold close and a bandit.You gonna saw how bandit drinks the poison and become ALMOST(remember this)invisible.Then he run away.You must ask that guy who sell invisible poison.He gonna telll to you,that he sure you don't hawe money or gold for paying.Use gold nugget,and he will giwe to you all poisons.

Reviews

 * This is one of my favorite islands ever! Also El Mustachio is my second favorite villan after the Black Widow.
 * M.D.D.G.said:This island is amazing! I LOVE WILD-WILD-WEST!!!

Trivia

 * In all the towns on this island, there will be posters of El Mustachio and his crimes. There are some silly ones like 'Stealing Candy From A Baby' and other funny ones like 'Wanted for receiving stolen goods, selling stolen goods and stealing stolen goods'
 * Your horse cannot go into buildings, which is quite logical since a horse could never fit in a building. Where he waits for you outside is unknown as you'll be mounted when you exit the building.
 * The woman in the saloon acts like an olden day woman, with the understanding that she should be quiet in front of men.
 * The pea-shooter and the potato spud use peas and potatoes respectively as ammo.
 * When you enter the island you wikll often be seen on him.
 * The Island uses censorship of several more mature topics on this island, though some of the are possibly more intent on being being comedic. This is almost certainly true in the case of making a "Root Beer" Saloon, and possibly also in the case of supplying vegetables as ammunition for firearms. The bubblegum-spitting competition, however, is almost surely a means of not mentioning the actual inspiration for such an activity: spitting while chewing tobacco.
