steamworks island

Round Two of the Poptropica Island Smackdown continues. We’re all voting to determine the best Poptropica Island of all time. So far in Round Two, we’ve seen Time Tangled run circles around Shark Tooth and Spy Island sneak past Nabooti. This time, we’ve got two heavyweights up against each other: Mythology Island and Steamworks Island.

Mythology Island was released in the Spring, hot on the heels of the release of the Percy Jackson movie. It featured an epic quest where you needed to recover five sacred items from Poptropica for none other than Zeus himself. Along the way, you met many of the ancient Greek gods and even had a final battle with Zeus to determine the fate of Poptropica.

Steamworks Island arrived this summer after much anticipation and build-up. It was an island with a deep mystery and no one around. Along the way, you teamed up with a lovable robot companion named Sprocket and set out to discover what happened to everyone who used to live there. This island featured one of the most difficult boss fights ever and a crazy amount of puzzles to solve along the way.

Both were great islands. But only one can win in this head-to-head battle to see who will advance to the Final Four. Which will it be? Steamworks or Mythology? You decide…

Round One of the Poptropica Island Smackdown now draws to a close. The two most recent island quests compete for the last slot in Round Two of the competition, where the eight winners will be one step closer to the crown. This competition will be especially fierce as Skullduggery Island squares off against Steamworks Island. These are both fresh in the minds of most people, but let’s quickly recap both before voting below.

Skullduggery Island

Poptropica Skullduggery Island

Ahoy mateys! It’s adventure on the high seas ye be wantin’ and Skullduggery Island delivers. This island came out earlier this summer and brought pirates to Poptropica in a big way. In Skullduggery, you start out in the small town of Fort Ridley, where the citizens have been the victims of a terrible pirate known as Captain Crawfish. You must save the island by acquiring your own ship and crew and then capturing Crawfish before he can do more harm. But it’s not easy–along the way you must locate pieces of the treasure map for Skullduggery Island and do quite a bit of trading before you have enough wealth to buy a ship good enough to take on Crawfish. And danger lurks everywhere.

Steamworks Island

Poptropica Steamworks Island

Steamworks Island begins like no other quest in Poptropica. You are alone. There is no one else on this island, and you eventually learn that it has been uninhabited for 200 years. What happened to everyone? That is part of the mystery that you must solve. Along the way, you’ll encounter many puzzles and adventures as you explore this island once dominated by fantastic steam-powered machinery, but now reduced to rubble and overtaken by vegetation and strange plant life. Steamworks is one of the toughest islands ever released, with tricky and challenging puzzles, and one of the hardest boss fights ever. But it’s also one of the most fun to play, and it features some of the most endearing characters we’ve ever met. Plus, you get to pulverize plants in a giant mech! Who could ask for anything more?

Sadly, only one of these two great island quests can advance to the next round. Which will it be? You get to decide.
