- Poptropica is a pretty good game, but it might have one of the weirdest-ever implied timelines in any piece of media. Today, join me as I try to dissect @poptropica and this absolute nightmare of a story that is as complicated as it is funny!
A big thank you to @Jake.Miller for showing up in this episode! Sorry that I made you stop existing and stuff.
There’s some footage from Thinknoodles at the Super Villain island section and completley failed to credit it, check out the Poptropica guides he made relating to it

You know for a kids game the lore is surprisingly dark... They literally acknowledge multiple disasters throughout history where millions of people died, and go out of their way to NOT change it.
*Kirby has entered the chat*
@@jeankirchstein2552 lol
somehow i think thats a good thing. it makes these horrible events digestible for kids without “cleaning up” and filtering out any specific parts but important parts. it also got me interested in history and mythology!
@@lsnqkcnqkpnkpsnqpjcbpq Yeah, I never said it was a _bad_ thing... XD
Well of course they don't, you can't risk having the timeline get screwed over because of some ship sinking.
And God knows how the world would look like if there were no world wars (i'm really sorry but you get the point)
There's a risk the world would've been much worse.
The crazy thing is that Greg Heffley and Snoopy are canonically in Poptropica.
Also Skullduggery Island was legit the most fun island
Spy island
The only islands I completed were time warp, 24 carrot, and early Poptropica island. But I was lucky enough to play a bit of big Nate Island before it was taken down along with diary of a wimpy kid.
I liked mall security 😭
The author of Wimpy Kid made the game
Counterfeit was so fun for me
poptropica having a kill count is not what i expected, anyway… mythology and monster carnival were my favorite islands
You clearly didn’t play the Survival island where you’re literally hunted for sport 💀
My fav was the myth one and that game show one
@@screenedat0mthe adrenaline when you got close to the end and rage when you didn’t make it. We earned that title!!
I loved when you found an alien ship at the bottom of the sea and get terrorized in the third part by a mutant fish
There are two type of people.
1) People who see Albert Einstein as a Poptropica Character
2) Those who see ThinkNoodles
There is no inbetween
Literally what I was going to the comments for! Got so excited lmao
That guy was my hero in 2013
The same man who makes the banban makes the skibidi
He was my youtube video and it was in fact a road to captain thinknoodles video
YEAH
Poptropica gameplay: it sure is fun jumping around the island and helping people with their problems.
Poptropica lore: dead parents, murder, apathy in the face of genocide, and the inevitable unraveling of an already fragile space time continuum
Discrimination(if you look at monster carnival)
@@rosemary3029 i don't remember that one
This weirder then rabbids
Unironically, I’ve been curious about Poptropica lore for years, nostalgia hits hard
Same!!! It’s like living a fever dream watching this video 😭
Same here!!
Can we please talk about how on Shrink Ray Island the kid whose room you’re in just kinda has a toy of *the* Poptropica blimp, of which there is canonically only one, so this is a toy of *your* specific blimp, even if Shrink Ray is your first island. Also, after you get shrunk down, you can use the blimp as a blimp and just kinda leave and you go back to full scale and from there you can even redo the annoying bad terrible tutorial they added and get a new real blimp and bring it back to the island and so now that kid just owns a real actual blimp. This has bothered me since I was a kid.
Remember when that Olypmic Games Island rose out of the sea for the summer (2012 iirc) and sank back down? A year or two later it rose up again and stayed that way.

Sometimes choopo says he likes reading, other times he says reading sucks, some people may find this an inconsistency, but I think this just means that choopo's clone escaped his laboratory from that one video and now lives in choopo's walls and sometimes he sneakily takes choopo's place in videos
which one hates reading? choopo or the clone?
I mean, it really depends on the book. Does it match your tastes? It's f-cking great then! It doesn't? Well too bad, reading it sucks.
I picked one book to perhaps expand my taste in litterature and reading it halfway through completly sucked. That wasn't because the book was bad but bc it was a genre i'm not used to.
As an avid reader, it's very accurate to switch between "reading sucks" and "reading is the best thing ever"
The Greek island and the Superhero island will forever be trapped in my memory
Yasss THISSS
I have faint memories of playing this as a kid on my friends computer. She showed me her world and she had a lot of good stuff from what I could tell. Crazy how games like these are being forgotten over time
It’s ok choopo I love you and subscribed as soon as I saw one of your videos
Poptropica is popular enough to still be remembered, i'm sure a lot of other games as well, what i'm worried is the games nobody remembers playing and be truly forgotten, Flashpoint is a good source for old Flash games but it makes you wonder how much stuff is already completely forgotten and lost by everyone
@@jilbertfromup1796that’s not choopo that’s that’s yourlocalprimitive
Yeah fr, I thought the very faint memores of poptropica was just a fever dream until i see this video and remember everything
I remember playing Time Tangled island all the time, definitely was my favorite out of them. Also, didn't realize how much lore the books put into explaining everything, and somehow has a superior version of the TVA.
A game that not only taught us, but also challenged us to problem solve. We need more games like this, it’s so sad that children these days are on social media instead of playing.
right!
Man, sometimes I just used the guides
I still play Poptropica! It's so fun to play.
@@PxtchiMxmo same here ! 😆
You can play the flash version of poptropica with Flashpoint Infinity!! I use it to play poptropica, emily's delicous, diner dash and the papa's games
that program is so good it was surreal playing Penguin Dinner after like 14 years
I haven't played Poptropica in over a decade, so this lore is completely news to me.
as a big long-time fan of Poptropica, this made me so happy!! ❤ although the game/fanbase has seen better days, it still holds a lot of sentimental value to me and i enjoy making content for this niche community, as well as seeing fun vids like this! definitely would love to see more on some of the islands you didn’t mention much, like Survival, Monster Carnival, etc and perhaps more of the villains! :)
oh yeah it’s also worth mentioning that in 2017, i was granted beta testing access to Poptropica Worlds and i’m considered a VIP (very important Poptropican) 🌟
actually really cool that you were(/are) such a big fan of the series that they noticed and brought you onto the team !!
That’s so awesome!! It kills me that flash is dead and they never found a proper replacement that could support the larger chunk of now missing content. I know I just sound over-nostalgic maybe, but I really would love a massive comeback of the old games like Poptropica, Webkinz, Club Penguin etc. we absolutely have the tech and capabilities, and the love for these IP’s is still clearly there 😭
Poptropica was soooo good. I remember playing it in the 5th grade when we had free play. I miss those days 😢
I would do anything to play peak og poptropica today
@@Carolina-fe3vdyou can with a program called Flashpoint. The app archives all the old flash games such as the papas series and poptropica. Trust me, it has a LOT of games. Definitely worth checking out. I recently downloaded it and completed all the og islands that I could never complete when I was young. Look at their wiki to see the installation process.
I found your channel about a week ago and thought “I hope he has a poptropica video.” What a time to be alive
You manifested this video. Thank you.
I didn’t know Poptropica’s history was so rich- those graphic novels are interesting! I only remember playing during elementary school.
i loved this game as a kid. my favorites, that i remember, were shrink ray island, the diary of a wimpy kid island(s?), time travel island, and superhero island. i very very vaguely remember playing big nate island on my computer.
I've only played Poptropica once or twice in my life and forgot about its existence. Always here for the crazy story/lore behind discontinued kids mmo games👌
EDIT: Yes, I'm aware the game is still up lol
It's not disconnected, game still up and is getting new islands
It's not discontinued. The game's still up, and it's even getting new islands.
It remains connected; the game is still active and receiving additions in the form of new islands.
I wonder if I could still play it with my old account. I stopped playing it around the time flash closed.
bad news: theyve recently removed the membership subscription and everything is now free to play. i worry that its on its way out ☹️
This game used to be my childhood along with animal jam. I also remember that I spent a lot of time just replaying the same island over and over and eventually looked up guides for new islands (because I got bored). Sad that you can't really visit your friends in the game like you could in animal jam. I think you needed to actually buy your own lobby to do that. I also had the Poptropica DS game only to unlock that clothing set, I then sold it to a second hand game store. Kinda regret it.
I salute to you for bringing back memories from my favorite web game.
I haven't heard of this game since I was in 5th grade I didn't know it was still around and I loved playing it back then
I remember playing this as a kid on the school laptops. It was the only thing we could play on those things. I remember everyone working together to get through the islands whenever we had free time or the teachers left the room
i played the big nate and wimpy kid islands when they still existed, all i remember is that you blow a bubblegum bubble to get in detention in the big nate island and there's a minigame where you have to eat some nasty food without getting sick in the wimpy kid island
Damn thats crazy
Crazy? I was crazy once
@@Snooty4835hear that? No? Exactly
Me: woo! A topic i know about. I loved Poptropica as a kid!
Choopo: so im gonna start with the books.
Me: the *WHAT--*
RIP Skullduggery island the only island that had multiple islands within it in which everyone was a pirate 🫶🏾
I was *obsessed* with Poptropica when I was like 9 and this video made me redownload the game! Big Nate island is the one that I have remembered somewhat more consistently. I LOVED that one. Same with Mystery Train. Gahhhhh I miss the old islands 😭
I loved Poptropica when I was a kid so I recently logged back onto my old account only to discover that on the free website version, they got rid of like all of the good islands: Vampire’s Curse, Skullduggery, Monster Carnival, Mystery Train, Ghost Story, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, etc. I really miss them. RIP
So glad you had Milk guest star on this episode!
you BETTER fucking include cryptids Island or I'm gonna cry
Then cry little Timmy
I remember watching my brother play this on our old computer and then playing it myself like once or twice and man I had no idea there was lore
How could you talk about Poptropica and Not talk about Sharktooth Island?
24 Carrot Island was one of the first Islands I finished in the Poptropica series (not sure if its the browser or flash version) and this video brings nostalgia
Edit: I think I might play Poptropica again
Edit 2: Nevermind, just read the reviews on Steam and if the old islands are not there then ain't gonna play
They just announced they’re shutting down at the end of the month. R.I.P Poptropica. You had a great run.
they WHAT???
@@DyingSunberry There was an official-looking Discord post being circulated that said the game was shutting down, but it seems to have been a hoax- the Poptropica Twitter account confirmed the game isn't shutting down a couple days later
It’s only on cool math games now tho
Can I just say that at 4:28, Octavian looks like an absolute madman.
At time of creation, this video cannot be over due to the fact it’s been only 13 minutes, but god I Love this video.
dude the music in this game gives me so much nostalgia it makes me so happy 😭
also honestly same pelican rock was one of the ones i played over and over again
I would legitimately pay to play the old poptropica again, it was my favorite as a kid
I was absolutely not expecting the lore to go that hard in the comics. There was so... much. XD
Great video, dude! I had a blast watching! Your humor is next level! Hope you take care and have a great day, Mr. President, Sir!
Unironically, this is one of those games I’ve never played or heard of, and now I can see how anyone would enjoy them
I’m so excited to see you cover poptropica!!! 😭 Keep up the awesome content! If you want a fun history of to cover then you should try covering the sonic lore (Archie or the games) because everything is canon apparently, including the shows SO- as a sub special, it could be really fun! If not, I totally get it because omfg it’s….a trip. Same with Kingdom Hearts. 😥
I loved Timmy failure island
This was a good trip down memory lane. I have so many fond memories plying this game. I hope they'll re-release a definitive version of the game with all the content.
I AM SO HAPPY Ive asked for this quite a few times and my man did it. Much love Choopo
If you're here from funbrain you're an OG
I used to play Poptropica all the time, I loved it so much. I still have the official guide book with tutorials on all the original islands.
I don't know if you take suggestions, but I would definitely recommend making a video about _Cookie Clicker._ There's a lot of really DEEP and disturbing lore in the game that most people don't even seem to know about, and it would very much fit your style! :D
this video cured my sickness that i had
11:46 Captain Crawfish is no joke my favorite Cajun seafood restaurant in my town💀🤣
I have had this game stuck on my mind for years and couldn’t remember the name of it
Thank you so much I can stop thinking about it every second!
Sub
All the Poptropica islands are available on blue Maxima's flashpoint archive!! You can play big Nate Island still
I would like to inform you of Flashpoint Archive, where you can play old flash Poptropica entirely for free and it has Big Nate Island. Just know that the loading screens are kinda long.
This was the most confused and least understood I have been on a Choopo lore video ever.
But Choopo’s also President now, so good for him. I certainly would have voted for him if we knew how he got where he is. I bet it has something to do with saving Balloon Boy.
Sold me with the cliff hanger reference, good content man keep it up!!
Harrison is my name so thank you for including me in your video
congratulations, Harrison I loved your part in this video
I really felt that when he said: "Harrison"
I guess you better get to recording since it'll be shut down by the 29th of December
super power island and super spy island were my favs as a kid
I’m so so happy someone finally made a video about my favorite game ever. I got Poptropica gift cards for like 6 birthdays in a row just to get new outfits
i remember people playing poptropica when i was a kid but i never played it myself. good video as always!
Ur commentary made my entire day
I didn’t imagine this game would still be alive after I played it 8 years ago
We need a Between the Lions video now.
Well fuck, it’s over
I miss the Flash era of Poptropica so much.
i remember there being a charlie brown island based on the great pumpkin special, and i only remember it because there was some part where you had to roll a stupid pumpkin through a fence and i was never able to finish the island
I truly miss Cryptid Island, it was my favorite one. Honorable mention for Nabooti, that one was also amazing.
Great video as aways.
The little details like Bobo’s picture and the game on switch are neat.
Popchoopica
Thank you so much I’ve been asking for this on all your videos!!!
Bro this man needs millions of subs it makes me mad when I see channels that don’t have enough subs that they deserve for what they do man that you.
This video was a huge nostalgia trip for me
Flashpoint is ur new friend fr
choopo saved my life
you can play almost all the old islands with a flash emulator. there's an article on the poptropica wiki with a tutorial
this just unlocked so many deep memories in my mind
I've waited for this, thank you so much.
I did not expect the words "there is a kill count, it will go up" in a poptropica video
poptropica games, mythology and time tangled were my SHIT.
this video made me remember a lot of good memories
thank you choopo
People may have came here to learn more about this series, but hearing Rocket Ski Jump was the best part of this video.
You got me everything on my wishlist
I don't cry a lot during movies, but i wish i did. I've never cried at a pixar movie or any of the other movies that people usually cry at. Poptropica: the end of time made me cry. Hard.
Thank you for this video, I've always been curious if there was EVENn a loree
Me: Oh boy! A video about Poptropica! How fun and nostalgic!
Me, a few minutes in: T-There’s… THERE’S BOOKS?!
From all Harrison’s, thanks man
The best thing is that you can track when the second book occurs based on the H.M.S Terror existing which was a real ship that tried to figure out a way through the Artic waters. The people on the Terror had to resort to cannabalism and all died which is crazy that this is lore in Poptropica.
Edit to add: I am not saying Octavian is right for wanting to destroy the people who killed his girl but I am not saying he’s wrong.
THANK YOU CHOPPO THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE GAMES!
I love Mythology Island. The underworld boat ride was a pain though....
I should get back into Poptropica. Definitely a childhood game of mine. I grew up with it.
I miss classic Poptropica
6:00 can't believe that poptropica did it before across the spider verse
you could've played it on flashpoint, it's completely free to play and has all islands (that didn't come out after the death of flash)
Kill counts can only go up! Unless theres time travel shenanigans
Oh god that means 9/11 happened in Poptropica lore
As a dumb child I didn’t bother with any of the actual game and just annoyed other players until they left the server
I miss the old islands so much💔
