Here's a basic Poptropica keyboard trick. You may easily alter your character's appearance to a completely random one at any moment by typing CTRL + SHIFT + R (CMD + SHIFT + R on a Mac). This will reset your character back to their default look, but with every piece of clothing they have on. You can then dress them up again using the same method. There are two ways to change your character's appearance: through the Options menu and via the Sock Puppet button. To get there, simply press CTRL + SHIFT + R to reset your character back to their default look or CMD + SHIFT + R on a Mac. The Options menu is also where you can choose what kind of avatar you want to be. There are six options: Pirate, Wizard, Teacher, Sailor, Prince, and Villain. Each one has its own special abilities which are explained further in this guide. Once you've made your selection, click OK to close out of the menu. Now let's talk about the Sock Puppet button. This magical button allows you to transform into any one of your characters at will. Simply put on one of their socks and enjoy a new identity! Here are the different roles we mentioned before: Pirates are wild animals who can swim and climb trees.
