Cool Poptropica Tip: The Costumizer

By Penny Patterson

Using the Costumizer in Poptropica One of the best tools in the well-liked Poptropica kids game is the Costumizer. It's extremely straightforward and fun to use but many of us don't even know it's available. Are you perhaps curious about what the costumizer is used for? Well, it lets you very quickly copy and wear any costume you see another character wearing in the game. In simply a matter of a few seconds, you can wear nearly any outfit you need to in Poptropica.

Here is how you can use the costumizer. The very first thing you must do is to find the personality you want to look like in the game. This is often any personality you come across in any of the island journeys on Poptropica. For instance, let's imagine you need to look like Shark Boy from Shark Tooth Island. Walk up next to that character in the Shark Museum and then click on the Costumizer icon in the upper-right corner of your screen. The costumizer is the green t-shirt and you'll be able to find it next to the map. Next, you need to click the personality you want to look like. In this case, give good old Shark Boy a click.

The very next thing that you will see is a screen that shows you and the other personality. Click on any clothing item on the other personality to wear it and click any clothing item that you are already wearing to remove it. You can copy the entire costume of the other personality or simply mix and match till you get something that you like.

The best part is that you can wear any outfit worn by another personality in Poptropica. It's actually cool to wear the costumes that you see other special or rare characters have, like Mordred from Astro-Knights or Betty Jetty from Superpower Island. If you are feeling truly creative, you can come up with some great combos that no one has seen before.

If you have credits from finishing the islands or you have purchased some, you can use these in the store to buy costumes right there combine them with ones you find on other characters in the game.
