Getting Started
Here is a guide to Poptropica Super Power Island. If you want the guide with screenshots, please visit my Poptropica site. OK so first you want to go to Super Power island. Once you are there, jwalk to the right and enter the Comic Shop. There you will see a nerdy looking guy on the right side of the shop with pimples and wearing big black-rim glasses. Talk to him and find out if he has anything other than comic books. He will give you a book called The Superhero’s Hanbook that he is the author of. You keep the book in your inventory and can read it.
Walk out of the comic shop and walk to the next store on the right, called the Masks and Capes shop. Walk to the left and find the guy with the scissors and talk to him. He hands you a Super Hero ID card which makes you a superhero and shows all the villains that you have defeated. On the other side of the shop is a row of mannequins that have different costumes on them. Click on them to pick your costume. You can use different parts from all the many costumes on display.
The next thing to do is to go out of the Masks and Capes shop and head to the left. Swim through the water and you will arrive on an island with a jail that has a space meteorite that smashed into it. Talk to the guard. Speak with him about the escaped prisoners and he will give you an item called the, Super Villain Files. You can look through these files to view all the super-villains that you need to apprehend. Then talk to the lady wearing the white lab coat and she will give you anti-power handcuffs, which allow you to capture super-villains. When you get those items, it’s time to capture some super-villains! Walk all the way to the right until you get to a sign that says Downtown. Click the sign to move to the next room. It’s a short one. Walk to the right and then click on the next sign and you will arrive at Main Street. Talk to the police officers standing outside of the bank and they will tell you that Copy Cat, one of the super-villains who escaped the prison, is inside the bank.
Capturing Copy Cat
Enter the bank and walk left, where Copy Cat is standing. She will make many copies of herself and each of those copies will hide in a different location in the bank. She will also drop a smoke grenade on the ground and you will only have about a minute until there’s too much smoke in the bank for you to breathe. You have to capture all the copies of her before there’s too much smoke in the bank. Just walk over each copy of her to make it go poof and disappear. You’ll have to jump up a little to capture all of the copies. Use the elevator on the far right to get to the upper level.
When you get to the last copy cat, you will capture her and you’ll see a newspaper announcing her capture. You’ll be sent back to the prison and you’ll see her back behind bars. If you look at your Super Hero ID card in your inventory, you’ll see that you have one sticker in your villains defeated section. Now it’s time to catch some more!
Capturing Speeding Spike
Go back to Main Street and then go all the way to the right till you can a train sign. Click the steps to go down into the subway Station. Talk to the police officers in the subway Station and they’re going to tell you they require help catching Speeding Spike. Go in the train and then walk all of the way to the right, where you will see Speeding Spike holding a bag of money. Catching him is simple. Just keep leaping over him when he attempts to hit you with the bag of money. He’ll keep moving to the left to different train autos and if you can keep getting him to miss you he’ll get so tired out that he sits down on the floor. When he does that, walk up to him to put on the handcuffs and send him back to jail.
Capturing Sir Rebral
Go back all the way to the right and this time go past the train Station stairs to get to the town Park. When you arrive, you’ll see that Sir Rebral is standing on top of a broken statue. When you go near him, you find out that he’s's controlling rocks that fly up from the ground and follow you till they hit you. You must position yourself so that you can jump to avoid them ( they will still follow you ) and then get yourself on the opposite side of Sir Rebral so the rocks hit him instead. This will make him indignant and then parts of the ground will start turning up. The very next step is to find the light gray rock that you can push. Move this rock on top of one of the places where the ground pops up so that the rock will fly up into the air and hit Sir Rebral. This will knock him down and stun him so that you can walk up to him and capture him with the cuffs. You will go back to the prison where you can see him safely behind bars.
Capturing Ratman
Return to the city Park and go in the general public washroom. There’s a hole next to one of the toilets. Go down the hole to get into the sewers. Walk over to the left and you’ll see a brown wheel. Click on it while standing on the platform underneath and the water will drain so that you move downwards. When it stops, go to the right until you can some platforms. Jump up those and you’ll find another wheel. Turn it to make the water rise again partway. Swim to the left till you find another wheel and the water will rise again. Go to the left one more time and you will find a door that you can enter. Go thru the door and Ratman will be within. Jump up to the top right corner of the Sewer Room while avoiding the rats, and you’ll see a red wheel. Click it to turn it, and it’ll sprinkle water over the Ratman and his flies. Ratman will be knocked out and the flies that are buzzing around him will start following you. If they touch you, you will get stung so you want to try to get to Ratman awfully fast. Click on him to handcuff him and send him back to jail.
Capturing Crusher
Head back to town Park and go all the way to the right. You will see a sign for the Junkyard. Follow that sign to go inside. When you arrive, you’ll see Crusher standing on top of a pile of junk. Talk to the police there and they will tell you they are unable to capture him. Good thing you’re a mega Hero here to save the day again. To conquer Crusher, you’re going to sneak to sneak past him twice. Head all the way to the right and get up on top of the oil barrels then leap onto the platform where he’s standing and run right past him. You’ll get to a crane. Jump up the crane till you get to the cab at the top and click on it. Then drag the magnet control lever. The crane will release a heavy refrigirator that will fall on Crusher. But he lifts it off and throws it at you, knocking you back down. And now he’s's really mad. You’ve got to sneak past Crusher one more time, but now he’s hurling empty oil barrels at you and they will knock you down if you get hit. Try to get back to the crane one more time without getting hit by the oil barrels as you go. When you get all of the way back to the cab of the crane, click and drag the magnet lever again to turn it back on. The magnet will pick up Crusher and then crush him flat! You can then safely go down to where he is and put the handcuffs back on him. Crusher is going back to jail!
Capture Betty Jetty
Head back to the main place and go over to the telephone booth The phone will ring. Answer it and you will be given a new superpower. It is the ability to fly! Click on the flght icon in the lower-left corner to fly up into the air.
Head to the Downtown area and fly up to the very top of the Skyscraper and then go up. You’ll see Betty Jetty standing on top of an antenna. She will taunt you and fly away. Make sure your flight power is activated and chase after her. She will throw green energy balls at you. Each time you dodge them, you’ll get a little closer to her and eventually you will be close enough to capture her. You can easily dodge the green energy balls she throws by moving off screen each time they come near you.
After you catch her, she will taunt you again, and then Ned Noodlehead will appear and knock her over. Next you can place the handcuffs on her and she is captured and returned to prison.
Claim Your Reward
When you talk to the warden, he will say that he gave the island medallion to Ned Noodlehead for capturing Betty Jetty. You can convince Ned to give it to you by first going to the hot dog vendor in City Pary. Talk to the vendor and he will give you a hot dog. Next go back to the comic book shop and talk to Ned Noodlehead. He will offer to trade you the medallion for a hot dog. Do the trade and you will complete this adventure. Hooray!
