Early Poptropica Island

Early Poptropica was the first island released on Poptropica. It is where the first Poptropicans live. The task of the island is to find 3 items for Early Poptropicans. Its the only island to have two multiplayer rooms: Soda Pop Shop and the Arcade. It is also considered the most easy island.

Welcome to Early Poptropica!
Land on Early Poptropica Island. You will be on Main Street. There will be plenty of places to explore, but it's a good idea to go to The Old Part of town. That's also where you get a very important item, the Glow Stick. Go right on Main Street to get to Early Poptropica. The characters here are made of pixels and look like pilgrims, and the buildings look like old cabins. If you talk to these early inhabitants, they'll tell you about the items they're missing: one pilgrim is missing a Pig, one is missing a Bucket and the third is missing a Signal Flag, that is needed to signal the ships (to find the last pilgrim, go all the way to the end of the dock and climb up the rope hanging down from the watchtower).

Into the Depths . ..
Remember that Glow Stick we mentioned? If you go inside the well, near the bottom there is a swimmer who is taking a break from swimming in the well's water (which is hopefully clean). He will tell you that the Glow Stick is in the upper left corner. Keep jumping from platform to platform until you reach it (you can use the boxes to even out the tilting platforms. Don't jump in the water because it will take a while to jump out of the current). Now that you have the Glow Stick, it's time to explore the manhole. Jump down to the very bottom. You might get knocked over by a spider, but that's okay. Even if you fall all the way to the bottom, you'll still land on your feet. Then jump over the green spider and move right to find the prized porker. Touch the Pig to add it to your items. You might be temped to leave the manhole now, bu there's more to be found down there. Get past the green spider again and enter the tunnel on your left (those purple spiders can knock you back to the ground if you're not careful. Time your jumps to avoid the spiders when they fall). Your Glow Stick will light the way through the tunnel. When you see a rope, climb up. Keep climbing until you find the Golden Egg. There are hints written on the walls to tell you if you're going in the right direction. When you find the Golden Egg, touch it to add it to your items. After you get the Egg, travel upward to find an exit, and you'll find yourself in front of Poptropica Towers.

Your Head in the Clouds
So now you have the Pig, but you still need the Bucket and the Flag. Since you're at Poptropica Towers, you should start exploring the city street lined with tall buildings. Jump to the ledge of the first building you see and head for the roof! Travel from rooftop to rooftop, bouncing off clotheslines to help you. When you reach the blue building, climb to the very top, which looks like a rooftop restaurant. Then climb up the vine. Now you're in the clouds. Move right until you see a huge pair of purple feet. Click on them to talk to the giant. He'll accept your Golden Egg as payment to enter his vegetable garden. You'll find the bucket among the enormous veggies. Keep moving right until you enter the Aircraft Graveyard. You can't use any of the planes here, but if you look carefully, you'll find a Jet Pack. This is just what you need to get to high places - like the top of the Water Tower, where the Signal Flag awaits you. Get back to Main Street any way you can. Then use the Jet Pack to fly to the top of the Water Tower. To fly, move your cursor until you see a green up-arrow. Click and hold to move up. Then move left or right. When you reach the top of the tower, click on the Flag to add it to your items (the Jet Pack is a great way to get around, but you can only use it while you are in Early Poptropica).

Make your Deliveries
Now you've got the Pig, the Bucket and the Flag. Head back to Early Poptropica. (You can fly if you want to, but you'll have to walk between Main Street and Early Poptropica.) Talk to each of the three pilgrims who were missing items. When you do, the items will be removed from your Inventory and returned to their original owners. Once you return the Signal Flag, a boat will reach the dock. Talk to the person on the boat, and he will thank you with an Early Poptropica Medallion. Congratulations! (To wear your Medallion, click on the items icon. Click on the Medallion card and click on Put On. You can take it off whenever you want by returning to the card and clicking on Take Off)

Trivia

 * All of the Early Poptropicans here are pixelated to give the world an 'old' feel.


 * This is the only island to have two multiplayer rooms. The reason for this is because at one time, this was the only island. The creators thought it would be boring to only have one of these rooms in the game, so they added two. Now, the Arcade Common Room only appears when there is no advertisement.
 * The Early Poptropica sign that marks where the pilgrims are says 'EST. 1983.' The pilgrims, however, look like they are from the NES's era, not 1983.
