What is the walkthrough for mocktropica?

Answer 1

Mocktropica is the 36th island of Poptropica (not counting the relaunch of other islands in the new 2013 form). It was released for free general play on January 16, 2014. The quest is to return three Poptropica creators to their jobs after the website has come under new management and fallen into corporate chaos. It includes a separate fictitious gaming website called Mega Fighting Bots.

Entering the Island

Some of the normal functioning of the site seems glitchy. Poptropica has supposedly been taken over by greedy corporate types who are cutting staff and shirking the proper development of new islands.

1) Enter the Poptropica Worldwide Headquarters, and go left to meet the Focus Tester. Watch him work and then get a piece of cake.

2) You have to talk to the other three new executives. Use the elevator to go to the second floor, where you meet the Safety Inspector, the third floor where you meet the Ad Sales manager, and the fourth floor where you meet the Resource Manager. For the new floating ads, click to remove them. You can use the Resource Manager's automated "Story Generator 2000" to generate random island ideas.

3) Return to the first floor and ask about the current staff ("development monkeys"). Click the basement door to go down.

4) Talk to the four workers and one will tell you about the three employees who have left, who are needed to finish the island: a writer, a designer, and a programmer. She gives you their ID badges.

5) Click the left computer and open the folder marked "Island Maker Pro" on the second row. Change the Mood to "Happy" (otherwise there is an unfriendly security guards). Click Save and Quit.

6) Click the right computer and rearrange the buildings and structures on Main Street: put the restaurant (tallest building) on the right, next to the Headquarters, and the Poptropica statue just to its left. This will let you climb to the roof later.

7) Leave the basement and head outside. The Focus Tester interrupts you, and his achievement banners will randomly appear (along with the ads)as you play.

8) Go left outside and talk to the user who has obtained a Narf pet. Follow him right.

9) At Ephraim University, you find the writer working as a professor. When his copy of the poem appears, click the ad repeatedly and it burns up the page. He tells you he needs soda, which you will get later in the quest.

10) Go outside and farther right, where the user finds that his pet is multiplying. Continue right to the Cheese Factory. Inside, talk to the ex-designer and click the machine to get a bag of Cheese Curds.

11) Leave and return to Main Street, where the user with the Narf pet has tired of the procreating hairball. Use the Cheese Curds from your item bag and click the spacebar to feed them.

12) Continue left on the path to Mount Funshine.

13) When the Safety Inspector will not let you cross the chasm, click the spacebar to throw a cheese curd into the chasm. The voracious narfs will fill up the hole.

14) On the other side, climb the hill to meet a climber who can't climb up because the mountain isn't finished. Pick up his discarded climbing axe, and go back to Main Street.

15) The Focus Tester has another brilliant idea: Poptropica Coins. Before you can continue to the right, you will need to get some.

16) Enter the Poptropica Headquarters, go to the basement, to the left computer, and open the Island Maker again. Change the "time of day" to Night. Go back outside. In the dark, there is a rogue developer who will give you some counterfeit Poptropica Coins. Go right and use them to leave Main Street.

17) Back at the Cheese Factory, use the axe on the curd machine (ignore the warning label). It breaks and the designer agrees to go back to Poptropica. You are automatically back in the basement there.

18) On the Island Pro computer, use the Island Maker again to change the conditions to Day and Clear. leave and go back left to Mount Funshine.

19) Climb to the top and up the rope to find the developer, bearded and communing with nature. Play him a game of Mancala and win.

*A possible game to try is 4, 3, 5, 4, 2, 3, 1, 1, 4, 2 -- where the numbers are your bins, numbered left to right from 1 to 6. This should get pebbles to your side.)

20) The developer returns and your item bag is fixed. Go back outside and the Focus Tester has another ostensibly great idea: Collections. Climb to the roof by way of the restaurant and statue to get the first of your 1000 soda bottles. Get the oversized helmet from the Safety Inspector (take it off until you need it later).

21) Jump back down, go right and find the Focus Tester struggling with a huge crate. Go back inside to the basement and use the right side computer (building placement) to pick up and smash the crate. Exit and go right to the University.

22) Give the soda to the writer, but he needs more convincing. Go back to the basement to find a script.

23) There are two duffle bags next to a column by the drink machine. Click them to find an old guy sleeping behind them. Talk to him and use your piece of cake to get him to move, You will find a script for Zomberry Island in the trash. Take it and head back to the University.

24) Click on the writer and he is compelled to proofread the script and agrees to return to Poptropica.

25) Outside, the Ad Manager shows off her "irremovable ad" -- head back to the Headquarters and go to her office on the third floor.

26) Use the Poptropica Coins to buy up all the ad space and close that ad. Go back downstairs. The Resource Manager says she has cut costs by reducing the number of servers.

27) This cause the screen to breaks down when you try to enter the basement, showing a blank blue screen with the Poptropica logo. Put on the huge "safety helmet" and use it break the letters one by one.

28) In the server circuits, route four connections (colors) to each of the four separate servers, according to the chart at the bottom : red goes to the first group, yellow the second, blue to third. green to fourth (green and blue are swapped).

29) The site returns to normal, but the four managers are actually the operators of Mega Fighting Bots. When they assemble their four robot parts to battle you, click to shoot coins at the giant robot, and then shoot down the two Achievement banners as well. The managers flee in their MFB jet, and you receive the Island Medallion.

30) There is a lead-in to the Bonus Quest, where you can actually win the Mega Fighting Bots game, rather easily.

BONUS QUEST

Now you can fight the Mega Fighting Bots without them cheating you. You fight Safety Bot, Ad Bot, Focus Bot, and Mega Bot (aka Colonel Hertz). But this time you have unlimited MegaCoins. Beat all 5 robots (if you lose a match, just replay it). The game actually gets easier after the first bot. You win the Bucket Bot costume.

*To beat the robots, wait along the middle of the game board and shove the enemy bots into the wall as they walk past you. The Bonus Quest was not playable until January 10, mitigating its value in promoting new memberships.

NOTES

- The final release of the game included an ad for a Funbrain webcomic called "Galactic Hot Dogs" and it you try to skip it, it can unintentionally crash Poptropica for real. It is the real-life ad you can't get rid of.

- The change to Night can be done at any time, but is not needed until the "coins" are introduced, to bring out the coin counterfeiter.
